If we were really a Christian nation, feeding kids and making sure everyone had health care would be our top priority.

The Wealth Proceeds Tax: A Simple Way for States to Tax the Wealthy Taxing the proceeds generated by wealth through a new Wealth Proceeds Tax is a simple way for states to raise billions in new revenue and improve the fairness of their tax systems.

As federal leaders give $ and favors to the rich, state leaders can ensure that families and communities have the resources they need to thrive.

How? Tax the rich with a state wealth proceeds tax.

This tax would apply to the richest 4% in the US.

They never will. So what's the solution? Tax the rich.

California voters are working to put an initiative on the ballot that would create a one-time, five-year 5% tax on billionaires in the state. A fraction of their wealth that would reap lasting gains for decades.

Let's do it.

When food assistance runs out on Saturday it will be the moms who skip meals to make sure their babies are fed.

In one of the richest countries in the history of the world.

If you have the resources, consider offering canned goods along with Halloween candy.

Donate the remaining goods to your local food pantry. Just search for "food pantry near me."

Trump's businesses have filed for bankruptcy six times. Never pausing in the grifting and scheming.

But everyday families saddled with medical debt from no fault of their own and entirely due to a failing health system?

Sorry, you have to carry that record forever, damn the consequences.

Did you know that women are far less likely than men to consider running for office? And are far less likely to be asked or encouraged to run?

You are the leader that you've been waiting for. Run for office: school board, city council, county board, state leg, Congress, President.

Trump has killed funding for renewable energy projects, opened up pristine federal lands in Alaska for drilling, and is single-handedly trying to renew the coal industry.

All while everyday families face higher prices for energy bills and insurance.

It's far higher! Many families struggling to pay for basic expenses dont qualify for SNAP. Income limits are low and don't vary based on how high or low living expenses are. Especially true for those living in areas with a higher cost of living.

SNAP helped 1 in 8 people in the US afford food this past spring.

If the Republican government shutdown causes a lapse in assistance children will go hungry, people w/disabilities will go hungry, our neigbhors will go hungry.

Donate and volunteer at food banks. Call your reps.

A single mom earning 65K living in Madison will see her costs increase by 130%, but millionaires like Senator Ron Johnson and other Republicans couldn't care less.

The resistance reaches into Trump country As organizers for No Kings 2 seek historic turnout on Oct. 18, the broader pro-democracy movement has already broken new ground.

Keep marching, keep calling, keep writing, keep picketing, keep canvassing, keep going. It's working.

"And the current protest movement has already reached deeper into Trump country than at almost any point during the first Trump administration."

It's hard to keep up with unlawful events, like kidnapping children, when you are on an extended vacation and refuse to work.

Republicans really are committed to destroying access to health care.

How very pro-life of them.

You don't get a Nobel Prize when constantly fomenting hate and division. When declaring war on your own citizens. When disappearing people into concentration camps on US soil and abroad.

Also, what about the people who have died when Trump illegally shut down funding for food and medicine? #momsky
