When Roman emperors ran out of ideas, they promised #BreadAndCircuses. Trump’s speech was full of circuses, including a lengthy celebration of the U.S. men’s Olympic hockey team. But he’s *no* Roman emperor: He made a point of reminding the American people that his administration is providing a lot less #food to the #poor (having “lifted” 2.4 million people off #FoodStamps).

#Trump #clown #SOTU #FoodInsecutity

#Food that goes to a #FoodBank would have been thrown away as #FoodWaste otherwise. The #people who rely on them most are the #elderly. #FoodInsecutity has skyrocketed under #Trump, despite #BirthRates plummeting.

So the #lie that #poor people are draining food banks by having too many #kids, dripping with #classism and #antinatalism, is garbage.

Can Canada’s labour force rebound after baby boomers retire?

The study shows the labour force participation rate will likely continue to decline until 2030, when the last baby boomer cohort retires, then is likely to stabilize.

My friend @seelpah is also in need of care

They're constantly advocating for community members in need yet their own needs are unmet, they're also facing #FoodInsecutity and #housing insecurity

Let's practice community care and uplift and #boost these needs as most of their energy outside of working with vulnerable community members goes to advocating for #MutualAid of others

For an extra dose of Holiday #Outreach, don't just donate to the food bank. Try carrying a couple of bags of food from your house on foot for a few blocks. Imagine what it's like to have to carry groceries like this on a regular basis. Many food bank clients don't have the luxury of a car (or even a ride) to go to the food bank to get their hampers. Taking a few moments in solidarity with the vulnerable and marginalized could change your whole perspective on generosity.
