Feed every child. It removes any stigma about who gets free lunch. It helps those older students who may already be working to help support the family. For a country that has the resources we have, there is no excuse for hungry kids.
Opinion: A radical idea: Just give kids lunch-

@TonyStark And breakfast too. Every child that goes to school should have the opportunity to receive 2 hot meals every day.
I absolutely love this. On Truth Social, Donald Trump now promotes the conspiracy theory, that the US government staged the January 6 attack.
So somehow the deep state was able to get Trump to rally the crowd, fire them up with lies and instruct them to go down to The Capitol and “fight like hell”.
I have to know more — was Trump a victim of hypnosis?

Cascading Climate Disasters Call for Resolve, Not Despair

@Huntn00 the level of grist going on in our society is probably worse than the late 1800s and early 1900s in the days of the #RobberBarons except with the added twist that we’re all going down the ecological shitter, and apparently, headlong into oblivion. Which the earth will survive, but we will not.
@Huntn00 one other thing I will say, is that, in my work in the public sector, and seeing the goings-on that I do, I’ve noticed that most of the recycle that people think they’re putting into the proper bins, goes right into the trash, and isn’t recycled at all
@Huntn00 I’m reading a really interesting yet enraging book called They are the Plunderers’s. It’s very hard for me to want to finish because it makes me so goddamn angry how far down we’ve gone in the society. But it is an excellent book.
@Huntn00 I think what needs to be done, at least one of the multiple things that needs to be done, is we need to get rid of private equity firms, and we need to revamp our particular form of #VampireCapitalism.
