You cannot use EBT for prepared foods + restaurants are forbidden. And, with a max monthly allotment of $994 for a 4-person family, it would take +4 years to accumulate that balance. Oh, and EBT money expires after 365 days.
A father attended 87 of his son’s 91 baseball games over six years.
His ex-wife attended 23.
He had a dated photo from almost every game.
At senior night, their son chose his mother to walk onto the field—and asked his father to stay in the bleachers.
The father assumed his ex had turned the boy against him.
His son took out his phone, searched their messages for “good game,” and showed him 79 results.
Calling a forest “undeveloped land” is such a strange way to describe it.

Disabled people must “prove” they’re disabled enough to receive meagre benefits.
Poor people must “prove” they’re poor enough for SNAP and social supports.
US Senators don’t even have to prove they’re mentally competent to vote.

A full-time paycheck should cover:
- Rent without panic
- Groceries without math
- A doctor without a GoFundMe

They oppose the things for us that they give to themselves.

The Trump Administration: Of, by, and for the billionaire class.
Actually, different salaries should only affect how luxurious your life is, not your food quality or ability to afford rent. If you work 40 hours at any job, your income should be enough to live in the town you work in. Thinking otherwise is an abysmal indicator of your humanity.
What Amazon is actually doing is threatening New Yorkers with slower, more expensive deliveries, if NYC forces them to stop exploiting their workers.
Your reminder that the wealthy few at the top try to keep us divided because they fear class solidarity more than anything else.
It’s hard to wrap your head around a world where California High-Speed Rail had to conduct environmental impact studies on monarch butterflies along existing tracks in the exact same county where this is allowed to happen.
