There should never be shame in needing help from a food pantry. But this is gut-wrenching: working every day, not getting paid for weeks, and needing a food pantry you didn’t need before. What’s shameful is that this is completely avoidable. Republicans need to get back to DC and negotiate.

Chicago , Portland , NYC , federal workers, women , children,the disabled, and older Americans. No one deserves this. That's the point . No state , no person, deserves this, but if you're not a billionaire or a member of the trump regime , this is how President trump treats Americans.

Black & brown people must resist the temptation to speak to the media in these pantry lines or about SNAP cuts It’s playing into the 🍊 narrative that we’re lazy even though this country is sustaining because of us & built by our ancestors

We need to provide masks, makeup and costumes to non-whites on voting day so ICE won't throw them in a bus. If they are voting, they are citizens, but ICE won't care. Black and brown people will not be voting Republican now.

A government office worker who helps seniors and the disabled with social security benefits shared her emotional response to the government shutdown. Essential government workers like her haven’t been paid in four weeks. “We don’t deserve this.”

This also clarifies why the govt isn't interested in ending the shut down. tRump and his gang want the US govt to fail, to break. Simple as that. #KrasnovAtWork

Maga parents chose trump a fat, shitty diaper wearing, doddering old demented fool and voted to starve their kids to "own the libs" their kids will never know, they don't know how to read or comprehend. Trumps "Keep em stupid, they'll follow you anywhere" policy works lol

The only ones who deserve this are the ones who put us in it. Congressional pay and health benefits need to stop. And everything they’ve gotten since the 1st needs to be snatched. That many of us are working without pay suggests we’ll get back pay which those fuckers are also trying to prevent.

They’re proud because they think their generational wealth makes them smart, savvy, and self made. They blame poor people for being poor because they think being born rich is working hard. Our only justice will be to make the wealthy as poor as we are.

The scary part is the timing. Shitler signs an executive order allowing law enforment to throw homeless people in jail. Then the GOP creates the situation to make working class people homeless. Make no mistake we are in a Fascist takeover. The time for peaceful protest has passed. It does nothing.

Please don't feel embarrassed! We all need help sometimes🩷 bsky.app/profile/alex...

I love Rebecca DOWN. Known as Dollar Tree Dinners. Her “Meal in a Bag” is meant to provide ppl with a complete meal that is $8 or less, is shelf stable, & can be made without access to a full kitchen. I love this as a direct aid option. Good for neighbors & elders who can’t/wont go to a pantry.

In the event that we can still vote in 2026 and 2028 I hope all of the 'i didn't vote for this' persons, and those that chose not to vote is now and will be then paying attention and will help get these greedy people out of their comfortable offices.

Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield@agdanrayfield.bsky.social

This morning in court, we're making our case for why the president’s federalization and deployment of National Guard in Oregon is unlawful & unnecessary. Listen in: 1-571-353-2301 (toll-free 1-833-990-9400) Meeting ID: 373876354# If dropped from the conference, please rejoin.

I'm in a discussion with a facebook guy who can't understand why the Dems don't just trust that programs will be restored when they sign the CR! Tried to explain to him that trust is earned & Trump can & has scuttled agreements shortly after they're made. Guess I'll have to find examples?!

The real shame is that we have GOP congressional leadership that is willing to deprive 40million American of food to force Democrats to allow them to take healthcare from 20million Americans. All for MAGA greed and power. This is GOP cruelty at a new and dangerous depth.

And let's be clear: many of us were irate with Schumer for giving in last time, but the REASON he gave in is that Republicans PROMISED they would address the health care issue. They LIED and here we are, with them acting all innocent when they CAUSED this.

Does everyone understand that Donald believes that cutting SNAP will cause riots? Tim Pool (yes the guy paid by Russia to podcast) is claiming that robberies of grocery stores and people carrying groceries will cause Donald to use the insurrection act?

Not only suffering, there's the extreme disappointment of the government letting you down. She's doing her best, and because of the political games, she gets screwed. The government isn't supposed to hurt.
