People going hungry? Who’s to say? We don’t ask anymore, even as food banks report record demand.

Edit: there is now an NYT article about this as well
theres only one party that thinks hunger is a political issue.
anti-science. anti-facts. anti-humanity
the regressive party strikes again
Yet they call themselves pro-life. They’re pro-birth, but once you’re born fuck you.
They love having more slaves
I think it was George Carlin that said they want live babies to grow up into dead soldiers.
Well, yeah - before you’re born, they want you have a life; after, they tell you to get a life and quit whining. Sounds pretty “pro-life” to me!
(/s, because tone doesn’t carry well in text)
Something something, “pro-life”, something something. We’ve been here before, you all know how to fill in the blanks.
With blank checks to the causes that advance your own agenda?
…what? Is that not what they do?
Pro-life doesn’t extend beyond the womb.

Not if the faction that overwhelmingly calls itself “pro-life” is against feeding children once they’re born. That’s what it means when they decrease SNAP benefits and increase the administrative burden of accessing those (and related) resources.
Which is exactly what I mean.
My misunderstanding, thought it was a drive-by “nuh-uh” at first.
All good! And also I just saw my typo.
Just another hypocrisy from the far far far right.
Democrats haven’t been so keen on addressing hunger. They refuse to address livable wages and keep bandaid solutions like food banks and charity.
True, but that kind of “both sides” is not helping. One side is hamstring by corporate donors and we need to primary the corpos out. The other side is actively taking food out of babies mouths, destroying public services, etc.
Both are issues, but one is truly heinous and cruel.
Can’t vote your way out of fascism
True. But it’s not the one you think. 🇨🇳
We’re going to see soaring poverty in red states, with government officials saying the lazy stupid people are at fault and we’re better off without them.
We’re going to see soaring poverty in blue states, with government officials saying they just don’t have permission or money or professional capacity to do anything and they’re just really sorry about it. Thoughts and prayers.
And then we’re going to hear how bad things wouldn’t be happening if you’d just voted for the correct party, despite neither party dominant state seeming to have any solution, save to accelerate mortality among the lower classes.
Fuck off, troll
