Encouraging Americans to eat “real food” sounds nice and all.
Like… groundbreaking. Why didn’t anyone think of that? 🙄 But that’s not going to solve the problem.

You can encourage all you want. You can tell people what they should do all day long. The real question is: what makes it hard for people to actually do it? Because until we address things like cost, time scarcity, food access, the food environment people actually live in, neighborhoods saturated with fast food and ultra-processed options along with work schedules, childcare, chronic stress, mental load, and the reality of living paycheck to paycheck, those words are pretty meaningless.

"How we care for our most vulnerable reveals what we believe about ourselves"--but only when it affects conservatives personally. if the disabled boy were not her son this "proud conservative" wouldn't care in the slightest what happened to him.

As accurate a description of Donald Trump as you will ever see

I don’t know, I kinda think poor people deserve the same things as everyone else and it’s weird that you think they deserve less.

Go micromanage the line item budgets of defense contractors, not the minuscule grocery budgets of poor people.

They *say* it’s for “health reasons”, but you kinda know in the deep parts of your soul that banning soda for people on SNAP is some weird, puritanical judgment on the poor, right?

The world is hard; I feel like everyone should be allowed to have a Mr. Pibb from time to time.

Nobody grew up with intentions of being a cleaner, cashier, security guard, taxi driver, car cleaner, or store general worker. We all had big dreams, but life happened. Respect people’s jobs.

Beyoncé celebrating Black soldiers for killing indigenous fighters who fought against occupation &Mexican revolutionaries is kind of insane. What’s going on?She could've celebrated black Union soldiers and Black World War 2 soldiers instead of foot soldiers for horrible US policy

All U.S. foreign policy now.

The Supreme Court ruled that the Equal Protection Clause does not protect everybody equally. Instead it upheld the Tennessee law that seeks to eradicate trans kids.

Love this article and how we can explore our identity through video games ✨

Slavery was legal. Jim Crow was legal. Never limit your sense of morality to America's legal system.

The contempt that these folks have for the poor and under-privileged is galling. Yes, it is ethical to buy used books. Yes, it is ethical to borrow books from the library. Not everyone can afford to shop at Barnes & Noble, but everyone deserves the joy of reading.
