We are way way way past that in US politics today!

How about an apology and $500 gift cards?

SNAP is not the reason your taxes are high.

SNAP recipients don’t need to “just go get a job”.

Most of them work. The rest are disabled, elderly, children or caregivers.

People need & deserve assistance

Your taxes fund wars and tax cuts for the ultra rich

Be mad about that

Jack Schlossberg, JFK's grandson, Caroline's son, posted this photo. I strongly recommend following him, "jackuno."

So much of this gorgeous photo, bulldozed & covered with slabs of concrete. Soulless. Empty.

This photo is all about life, color, beauty, promise.

Now bulldozed & drowned in cement.

Imagine thinking domestic violence isn’t “really serious”

War-torn Chicago.

So uncalled for and evil. Make this all stop, please!

Absolutely uncalled for, and wrong.

Children are not threats

Peaceful protesters are not threats

Elderly veterans are not threats

Disabled people are not threats

Immigrants are not threats

They’ve all been zip tied & unlawfully detained

People are being brutalized due to the colour of their skin

Punished for speaking out

Any happy occasion will do!

You had me unril the raven!

How I long for the boring Biden years. We need adult leaders, not man-babies.

Trump and Republicans love them young. They protect the children traffickers and not the children because they are the ones doing the crime.

Hold them all accountable.
