I work with refugees. Historian. I believe in humanitarian action, in helping others, in making society better for the most marginalized.

@reyxmarie maybe the teachers would get paid more if they were better at their jobs. the amount of kids graduating now a days who barely understand basic curriculum is at an alarming rate.


The “big beautiful bill” cut $187 billion from SNAP while extending tax breaks for wealthier Americans and corporations. Here is what that produces at the individual level. A young adult who aged out of foster care at 18 - no family to call, no one to navigate the paperwork with - must now document 80 hours per month of work, training, or volunteering to keep food benefits. Job hunting does not count toward those 80 hours. Miss the threshold for three months: lose SNAP eligibility for three years. The prior exemption protecting former foster youth from this time limit is gone. A Brookings Institute researcher who studies safety net policy put it plainly: young people “don’t turn 18 and are given a job.” This group is more likely than any other to be penalized under these rules - and they’re the ones with the least to fall back on. A quarter of former foster youth become homeless during the transition to adulthood. They are subject to the new requirements regardless. Indiana’s DCS has documented the challenges facing foster youth aging out of the system for years. The mechanism above is not hypothetical - it is coming for a real population of Hoosiers. Meanwhile, states face a financial incentive starting in 2027 to drop complicated recipients rather than help them meet requirements. Arizona has already removed nearly 500,000 people from its rolls. The clock is running everywhere.
