ZERO TOLERANCE

Hobby Lobby, a popular arts and crafts store, has recently come under fire for alleged harassment of black customers who have been accused of stealing. Reports have surfaced of multiple incidents where black customers were racially profiled and falsely accused of theft while shopping at Hobby Lobby. This discriminatory behavior has sparked outrage and calls for action against the company. Many customers have shared their experiences on social media, detailing instances where they were followed, questioned and even detained by store employees without any evidence of wrongdoing. This type of mistreatment towards black customers is not only unacceptable but also highlights the systemic racism that still exists in many businesses. Hobby Lobby must address these allegations and take measures to prevent further discrimination against their customers, regardless of their race. It is imperative for companies to maintain an inclusive and respectful environment for all customers, and any form of discrimination should not be tolerated.

Her SNAP Was Cut, So She Started Diluting Milk for Her Child

At the food pantry where I volunteer, I met a young mom whose SNAP benefits were suddenly cut in half. The reason was absurd—the system flagged her for “increased income,” even though nothing changed except two extra overtime shifts last month. The reviewer told her to submit three more documents, but processing could take 30 days. She admitted she’s been watering down milk every day so her kid can have something to drink. What stung the most was a man beside her bragging that he knows “the trick”—he stops taking temporary jobs before each review so the system shows “no income,” and he actually gets a higher benefit amount. The mom just stared at him, like she was witnessing how unfair the system can be. #SNAPCuts #SystemFailure #FoodInsecurity
