Blue states are suing to get those funds released. Trump would rather see poor kids starve while he builds his ballroom.

Marco Foster shares a quote from Lawrence O’Donnell: “Even though the Agriculture Department has enough money to continue to fund food stamps during the government shutdown, Donald Trump is ordering them not to fund food stamps. 40% of the people fed by SNAP are children. Donald Trump and Republican senators are basically saying let them starve. Republicans did this.”
The image below shows O’Donnell speaking on MSNBC, with “Republicans did this” displayed beside him.

If we don't let poor children starve, who will the conservative Christians feel superior to?

@georgetakei Where, in the opinion of Trump etc would such money do more good? In the bellies of hungry kids, or the bank accounts of their backers?
Stupid question. In billionaire's bank accounts, of course.

I’m just glad to see folks calling out the entire Republican Party and not just Trump. I’m so tired of Democrats in congress being unwilling to explicitly blame their entire party for these things. Seems like they don’t want to hurt the feelings of their “friends across the aisle” while those “friends” have no problem stabbing the democrats in the back when it comes to actual votes.

@georgetakei Both republican Ohio senators want SNAP to be funded during the shutdown. For what that's worth.

@georgetakei I love the honesty. Nothing serves our Democracy better than the truth, and the truth is that Trump and the Republicans refuse to honor their oaths to serve Americans, in this case hungry American children. Contrary to the belief of the red hat cult supporters, Most snap recipients are white, American born children. Elected, Republican, government representatives are not in it to serve the American people. There in it to serve themselves and their wealthy friends.

The only thing about this, is the massive surge in communities organizing to help people in need. But the task is truly staggering. SNAP provides nine times the food of food pantries collectively.

This itself is damning of the United States. The majority on SNAP are children and the elderly. Most people are on it for a year to deal with financial difficulty.

But it is largest and wealthiest retail companies in our nation that deliberately pay people below subsistence.

Hiti

हिति , in Nepāl Bhāṣā, is the word for a shared community water tap. Even in modern Newar cities, these ancient structures still pour out fresh mountain water piped through ancient underground filters and conduits. They are a place to wash, to talk, to drink, to meet the locals: a nourishing, refreshing social-ecological place.
