If you are wondering how to help victims of Hurricane Melissa in Jamaica, the family of a student of mine (I teach at Cape Cod Community College) has been absolutely devastated by Hurricane Melissa. They lost everything. If you can help, 100% of your donation will go directly to this family, no overhead to any agency. You can't help everyone, but you can help one family.

“They were careless people,” Fitzgerald wrote, “they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.” #SNAP #EBT #Shutdown #Trump #MarALago

"Of [the] 41 million who receive SNAP benefits, 39% are children. In two days, those children will not have access to food benefits anymore, because Republicans, especially Donald, don’t care if children go hungry. There was $5 billion available to continue funding SNAP, but Donald said he would not access those funds for such a purpose. I mean, come on, the guy has a ballroom to build for God’s sakes!" - Mary Trump #USPOL #SNAP #SHUTDOWN

1.2 million vets rely on SNAP to put food on their table. It’s almost Veteran’s Day. How can these vets literally not be able to put food on their table on the very day that’s meant to honor them? #Veterans #USPOL

HUNGER.IS.A.CHOICE. A party that controls ALL THREE BRANCHES OF GOVERNMENT could have stopped the shutdown. They are posturing. They are doing this ON PURPOSE. #Shutdown #USPOL
