The scariest part of Halloween this year is hunger. With SNAP benefits ending, millions face empty bowls. Here’s how your neighbors are getting involved this Halloween.
It's still too soon to tell, but we set it up yesterday, and still the only items in the donation bins are what we put in ourselves.
We live in a "neighborhood" of uptight people.
Right after hurricane Ian, we strolled around our own neighborhood in which we have lived for several years, and one of the "neighbors" from across the street looked at us with disdain and asked rather snottily, "Can I help you?"
It's good, no great what you're doing 50501. Someone mentioned that maybe along with the candies for Halloween you put out a box of non perishable foodstuff for families to help themselves to if they need it. Noodles, rice, flour, canned stuff etc.
Well done! Perfect message to go viral at this time…
Here is a link to a free e-book that I’m currently reading, called Less is More. It talks about how degrowth can be applied to help stabilize our current world. It’s not directed at the people who are hungry. It’s actually applicable for the rest of us who are not.
Defeating the fascists in WWII did not happen without sacrifice from the citizens of the Allied countries. We will have to sacrifice to stop and reverse the fascist takeover of our country. We can sacrifice a little now or a much greater amount later. What kind of world will our children and grandchildren live in if we allow this to continue?
How much do you want to stop His Royal Heinous and the fascist takeover of the country?
Enough that you’re willing to make a small sacrifice? Like altering your spending habits for a month or two or three? That could be all it would take to get the attention of the oligarchs (formerly known as The Robber Barons in the first Gilded Age, also The Fat Cats, The Greedy Bastards).
A brief demonstration of We, the People’s, power of the purse could persuade them to quit supporting HRH and the politicians who enable him.
We quit spending, except on essentials, businesses lose money, stock market goes down, Greedy Bastards pay attention to our demands.
Greedy Bastards own most of the politicians of both major parties. GBs start losing money, then they tell the politicians to change course and do what We, the People want.
Spending Strike, Spending Freeze, Spending Suspension, Spending Pause, Economic Disengagement, Economic Warfare, Stop Spending!, even Boycott. Choose your favorite but Do It, and Spread the Word!
If a single dollar doubles every day for 30 days, it reaches a total of over $536 million ($536,870,912) at the end of the 30th day.
So, would it follow, that a single voice that doubled everyday would become 536 million voices after 30 days? That seems doable.
From Mark Mansour:
Sacrifice has always been the price of renewal. Democracy, if it is to survive, cannot be the cheap luxury item of a populace too comfortable to fight for it. The Trump regime can be resisted through civic courage, legal challenge, and organization. But it can also be starved—one deliberate, withheld dollar at a time.
“Make Good Trouble” by doing Good. Evil will try to disengage whatever Good we do, constructing constricting or using shocking ways to disengage us, like destroying the east wing of Our House after millions of US marched in the No Kings March—he felt that March and right now he’s planning an on ground war with Venezuela after killing 57 innocent people and falsely claiming they were carrying drugs to America. SNAP isn’t the Felon’s concern because his kind of Psychotic Narcissistic Personality Disorder is raging and that Disorder peaks at killing for attention—or anything for attention—including the Violence of starving American families and killing children. We have witnessed this in part with ICE abusing innocent people and killing a few—these deaths mean nothing to this GOP, this group of Domestic Terrorists that think it’s okay to let millions of people go hungry while they get paid for their hate. Neighbor to neighbor can change America’s attitude and heal the division between us and be assured, no matter what you think or who you are, that division must be healed. This is why we donate goods, make vast pots of soup and stew, serve free spaghetti dinners: we “Make Good Trouble”. And that Good Trouble expands county to county, state to state speaking to all people in that one act of Goodness by feeding people. It also shames this GOP and that’s “Good Trouble” too.

I commend the 50501 writers for addressing the shutdown/SNAP issues in a nonpartisan manner. To acknowledge that members of all parties are being impacted, and for providing resources and support for any who care to listen. The past couple of articles are being shared with folks we haven’t lately spoken to because our differences are so profound. As those folks feel the wrath of this administration’s decisions, they are much more receptive to listening to what we’ve been trying to say, and they are feeling the compassion. I believe articles such as this will help them feel a sense of community with us, and understand that we do not “hate America” as they’ve been told. Thanks to this type of writing some are seeing that we are all stronger when we stand as one.
Food pantries at libraries! Food donation collections inside libraries or elsewhere. Food drive at local
VA for Veterans Day
I shared the email with one of my friends in the Democratic Labor Caucus of SWFL.
I had emailed yesterday about doing food drives for people in need in Lehigh Acres, FL.
My Wife and I have set up (and hoping it works) a small food drive at our home to benefit WE CARE- Food Pantry of Cape Coral.
I LOVE this so much! Thank you for what you're doing for your community!

But, I digress...
I hope we have a better day today for donations.

Excellent write~up!
