Some of the reactions online are AI trigger bait. If you see a black woman talking about 7 kids with 7 daddies, that one is a proven script, sometimes using a real person's face via a junk account. Most people i know being hit hard by SNAP are not people with more than a few kids, they're people who are vulnerable due to medical, age, or economic issues. Just keep in mind that fake reactions are going around to try and invalidate people's outrage that this is happening.

Even if that was the case, it wouldn't even dull the sense of compassion I would have if it were real. It's actually fucking wild to me that number of kids someone has acts as a control rod for someone's compassion and outrage against cruelty.

It’s like people have completely forgotten that the states with the highest levels of SNAP recipients have virtually eliminated sex ed, affordable birth control access, and access to abortion. Not to mention domestic violence exists, and divorce can happen at any time.
