please consider making a donation to a local food bank. 42 million Americans, many of them elderly, and disabled, and many of them children are at risk of not receiving SNAP benefits in November. In every single other government shutdown throughout history, SNAP/food stamp benefits were still issued. No president of the United States has ever determined it was more important to give 40 billion dollars to bail out a foreign country (Argentina) than to take care of it’s own citizens. feedingAmerica.org will help you find food banks in your area.
If you hear friends and relatives continually saying that democracy is under attack, and don’t understand why they think this, or why they attend No Kings rallies, and would like to be informed, please take time to read this article in the New York Times. Please also consider following Heather Cox Richardson, or my friend Beth Macy (who has a fantastic new book out) here on substack.
