This needs to end...🧐👍

An estimated 15.7 million workers use SNAP. It’s a lifeline for those in low-wage jobs.

Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.

Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps.

Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

California – this Election Day, vote yes on Prop 50.

California’s Prop 50 says that if Republicans are going to abuse the system to try and hang onto power, we’re going to counteract that abuse and create a level playing field in the midterm elections.

Make a plan to vote yes on Prop 50.

The President of the United States is so upset about his failed campaign for a Nobel Prize that he's now trying to claim someone else's prize as his own.

Pathetic.

Narrator: So much for the claim that they were only going after undocumented persons committing dangerous crimes.

SNAP is NOT out of funds. The child rapist just won’t release the $.

I’m still shocked that stories like this which come out daily still get largely ignored. The most corrupt person to ever hold any public office in US history. I will keep posting them every day and try to amplify them, even when most media doesn’t care. www.wsj.com/finance/curr...

Don't forget the "hurricane avoidance drills" ...
Much more supportive than those old "let's help countries whacked by natural disasters" appearances ...

P.S at least Qatar, and Israel are getting $$$, and attention ...

Rep. Jim Himes: "Fentanyl...comes out of Mexico, from the cartels there. There is cocaine coming out of Colombia, not so much Venezuela. So what we see there is a massive number of military assets deployed for purely performative reasons...It's purely performative."

DOJ Puts Prosecutors On Leave For Accurately Describing Jan. 6 Attack Read more here.

🚨BREAKING: The Department of Justice (DOJ) this week placed two federal prosecutors on leave after they wrote in a court filing that on Jan. 6, 2021, “thousands of people comprising a mob of rioters attacked the U.S. Capitol,” a source familiar with the personnel moves told Democracy Docket.

I’d rather see the money being dumped into citywide National Guard occupations and ICE raids going toward food pantries and other services that help get basic needs to our community members.

🚨Wow - this will be huge if it bears out. Exit polls show the pro-EU D66 party has WON the Dutch election.

The far-right PVV party of Geeet Wildsrs has lost 12 seats, according to exit polls.

Huge if true.

the amount of academic research now using llms in research (synthetic data generation, to classify, annotate, or analyse large scale data, etc) is astounding. remember, just cus use of llms in research is becoming normalised does NOT erase the fact it degrades the research & undermine your results

You’ve probably heard but I have been federally indicted by Trump’s DOJ.

Speaker Mike Johnson is perpetually trying to deceive people. He uses his milquetoast speech and persona to mask his determination to ruthlessly cause harm. He wears his “Christianity” on his sleeve as a decoy from his evil intentions. He is not a good person, he just tries to play one on TV.

Cost to fund SNAP and keep 42 million people from starving:

$100 billion

Cost of lost revenue due to tax cuts for the richest Americans in the top 1%:

$100 billion

One is decried as "welfare." One is not.

Why?

Still awaiting my George $oros payment for showing up at #NoKINGS_Day & staying until noon.

Somebody slipped this 20 under my door, but something about it seems fake.

My limo NEVER showed up ...
I've sent a strongly-worded letter ...

Hanging out with smiling fellow Citizens with concurrent objectives for Life, Liberty & the Pursuit of Happiness isn't easy ...
We had to look at bored cops, for cryin' out loud ...

Who knew that when he invented the iPhone, Steve Jobs would create such an amazing all-in-one device. A music player, a state-of-the-art phone, a portable internet browser and a machine that for some reason invites a neverending supply of scammy Medicare-related telemarketing.

Corporations (in this case Apple) holding the door open for "friends" ...

If and when this is over this man has to go to prison for his violations of the Constitution. He and Stephen Miller can bunk in the same cell.

FUCK the GQP ...

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

i hate how people and even literature sometimes reduces the concept of an unreliable narrator to 'the book lying to you', not 'you are viewing the world through the eyes of someone who does not see an absolute truth'

Repubs beware: you’re holding back funds from food safety net because your cruelty is the point. Remember the last one who said “let them eat cake” didn’t fare so well. Nor will you in the midterms. And by the way… your vacation days are now longer than your work days this session. Great look. Not.

Love this, love my City.
