The governors of a dozen Republican-led states — AL, AK, FL, GA, IA, MS, OK, SC, SD, TX, UT, WY — opted out of a new federal food assistance program, leaving about 9.5 million students without the aid this summer

you would think they would realize if you're not eligible to be president you're also not eligible to be vice president... but it's about the racism

Nah, titties and gays are the true threat to children, not poverty and starvation

what if - instead of attempting to ban porn and end internet anonymity in the name of “protecting children” - we actually protected them by making sure they have enough to eat

Meanwhile eight states, seven Democratic trifectas (CA, CO, MA, ME, MI, MN, NM) and Vermont, took a lesson from the pandemic and made universal free school meals permanent.

If they do put Kamala Harris on the top of the ticket, I am prepared for a level of misogynoir unwitnessed since Rosa Parks sat down on that bus.

The issue of the exact definition of "natural born" has never been directly decided by the Supreme Court. Decent chance they take up the question and side with the cuckoo-nutties who don't believe it simply means being born here.

Jack Posobiec is a very influential MAGA media figure. He posted this today. In the 1930s Fr. Denis Fahey was probably most well know for being one of the most outspoken anti-semites in the world...quite an accomplishment for that era.

Instead of supporting an incumbent who's been getting the job done, and well, we're going to submit him to the Hunger Games?

Dumbest fuckin’ idea I’ve ever heard. “The proposal is work of Rosa Brooks, a Georgetown law professor who served in Obama and Clinton administrations and as a volunteer policy adviser to the Biden campaign in 2020, and Ted Dintersmith, a venture capitalist…” www.semafor.com/article/07/0...

I get the feeling that's one of the policies that's in there to be removed once people get engaged, then that can say they're listening and have changed. Or, you know, double down and start napalming Yellowstone because it had it coming as a hippy freeloading park. :-(

I've seen a graphic or two going around and my main thought is "they want to ban contraceptives" probably goes a lot farther with the average voter than, say, "they want to increase arctic drilling"

Whoa there! I think you mean "end no fault divorce and ban porn for YOU." They will absolutely still get the house. the kids. and the porn.

It’s also a really good example of what weird little freaks these people are. You could (shouldn’t, but could!) excuse the no fault divorce, homophobia, etc bc it’s their religion, and we’re all used to religious extremists in power, but going after the parks? That’s just them being *weird.*

“They want to eliminate national parks” is a very simple way to get just about anyone on the Stop Project 2025 train. Are there much more glaring and life-threatening goals of P25? Yes but even your most bigoted cousin does not want to see the parks system sold for parts.

This!! Start with “they want to end no fault divorce, sell national parks, and ban porn” end with tax structure.

There’s a piece of this that is about their long term campaign to make people feel that government can’t get anything done/can’t help/can’t do anything good - if you take the money and feed the kids you give away the game

Yes, Republicans really believe in starving kidswww.theframelab.org What GOP states' cruel rejection of lunch for poor kids reveals about the right-wing brain. And how to fight it

One of the few things I had long planned to write a blog or whatever about, but I was slow and lazy and @lolgop.bsky.social did it first. These sickos are unable to imagine anyone deserving to eat unless someone else deserves to starve. www.theframelab.org/yes-republic...

IE, Republicans are terrified of the salt of the earth realizing that there's actually nothing stopping the federal government from radically improving their lives ... except ... Republicans.

100% they aren't accepting the funding so they can turn around and campaign on ineffective social programs or blame it on immigrants and their base and media will fail to call them on it.

The opting out is especially wild Like, Republican governors are being actively presented with money to feed kids and affirmatively saying 'I would like children to starve actually' (Also, if I'm a Dem campaigner, I'm making some ads and placing some op eds about this immediately)
