DEMOCRACY ON HOLD
: The Human Cost of the Shutdown

While Congress plays chicken with the budget, millions of Americans are feeling the fallout.

• Federal workers — furloughed or working without pay.
• SNAP and WIC — delayed or frozen.
• Veterans — facing delayed benefits and support services.

A “temporary” shutdown, but for people living paycheck to paycheck, “temporary” can mean eviction, hunger, or losing health care.

“So Trump and his people are sitting on a pile of money while American children go hungry just so they can put pressure on Democrats.” ~ Stephen Colbert

GO, MARYLAND!!!
Maryland’s "SUN Bucks," a summer food program for children, served a record-high number of students this summer, thanks largely to an innovative approach to enrollment: It automatically enrolled students who were already receiving SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program), Temporary Cash Assistance, or free or reduced-price school lunches; enrolled in Medicaid; or were in out-of-home care.

Tens of thousands of Palestinian children are facing starvation in Gaza's tent camps amid ongoing conflict and blockade. Humanitarian aid struggles to reach those in desperate need as the crisis deepens. 🌍💔 #GazaCrisis #ChildHunger #HumanRights https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/8/23/tens-of-thousands-of-palestinian-children-starving-in-gaza-tent-camps

"Why are kids in Gaza feeling the hunger pangs more than adults? Turns out, they can't adult their way through a crisis! While adults might manage, children need consistency. It’s a stark reminder that while we debate politics, kids are just trying to survive. #Gaza #ChildHunger #Awareness" Source: https://theinformer.uk

The lovely folks at Humble Lotus are organising a 2500-jar peanut butter drive for Food4kids's summer programme!

@mastodonmigration @KamalaHarrisWin
Glad to know she has a plan to bolster the #MiddleClass but as one of the #WorkingPoor her tax credits won't touch me or my friends

Let me know when she spells out her plan to eliminate #Poverty #Homelessness #ChildHunger

Don't worry...I'll vote for #HarrisWalz2024
Even if she doesn't see us, the outright #Fascism of her opponents is much worse

„Unlike the children who died in the bombardments, there is no official count of those who died of malnutrition or dehydration. However, doctors are reporting a growing number of very young victims.“

Republicans talk a lot about protecting children, but they don’t really walk the walk. It deeply saddens me to see kids go hungry because governors won’t take funds to feed hungry children. But it's infuriating to see adults continually voting these politicians into office.

A new food program would have kicked in this summer, had Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt not turned down $48 million from a $2.5 billion initiative that the Biden administration calls “a giant step forward” in ending childhood hunger in the country.

He joined 12 fellow Republican governors who ultimately refused the money, part of the bipartisan budget agreement Congress reached in 2022. Some said they were reluctant because the country is mired in debt and the government already spends heavily on child nutrition programs — more than $25 billion in fiscal 2023. Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves called the new program an attempt ‘to expand the “welfare state.”

🚨 Alarming USDA report: Child food insecurity in the US has risen sharply to 8.8% in 2022 from 6.2% in 2021. This increase follows the rollback of pandemic-era supports. It's time to refocus on ensuring every child has enough to eat. 🍽️👶 #ChildHunger #FoodSecurity #USDA 🥪🥕📈💔 https://www.k12dive.com/news/food-insecurity-increased-2022-pandemic-meal-waivers/698037/

For Afghans, aid cuts have caused great fear
And leave some to just shake and shed tears
Parents are desperate and feeling blue
As little ones' hunger they must subdue
But when food is scarce, what else to do?
Some resort to giving kids a sedative brew
All in the hopes of just getting through

You know how the U.S. is increasingly putting cops in schools? And how that is causing a lot of harm to kids in general, and disproportionally to black kids? Now add more hunger to that.
