OK, I have a really, REALLY cool incentive prize here.
Donate $50 to help kids get the medical care they need through my Extra Life page, and I will send you an actual production-used file folder from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. They're all different and contain various documents.

Let's be clear: there's funding available to cover SNAP benefits next month. Trump is stopping SNAP benefits because he wants to. He is forcing mommas and babies to go hungry.

I was travelling and missed out on the $75K George offered me to attend a No Kings π«π protest today, but it's not all bad. I invested the $50K I got for the 1st No Kings protest in the company that makes inflatable frog costumes. Who knew? π° πΈ

Trump just posted an AI video of himself promising every American access to this.
The problem is that conservatives don't see it as they're giving up their freedoms and rights -- they believe the fascists when they divide the people, and actually enjoy that those "others" are having their freedoms and rights taken away.
