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?

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.

And never forget
BOHICA

Prime example of white privilege in plain sight.

Black kids get called adults to justify blame, while white adults get called “kids” to excuse their hate. They’re not boys and girls, they’re grown-ass men and women, and the receipts are in writing.

Note to self, don't sit on hard sand for over a half hour without a rescue plan. Then turn around to kneel on the sidewalk chalking up rainbows, hearts, flowers etc. REMEMBER, YOU ARE GETTING OLD!!

St. Pete is a Jewel of a city. Hundreds at Spa Beach, wearing blue, and spelling out UNITE AND RISE with our bodies.Then right to a "chalk up" on central as hundreds more turned up to surround the last street mural left in Florida. It will be covered over soon, but our voices will not be silent.

The history books will look back and wonder how did this happen?

It’s not just about picnics and parades By AFT President Randi Weingarten

That’s why this Labor Day, as part of the labor movement, we are standing up, speaking out and showing up for a better life for all Americans — in hundreds of actions being planned across the country. #WorkersDeserve

Let’s all take a moment to reflect on how this just absolute alpha male sprayed on his hair for TV

Two months sober as of today. Some days have been a little difficult, and some days easy. But forward I go.

Hey Merica, who would Jesús starve? These could have gone to Gaza.

A little math about that prison camp in Florida. $450 million per year for 3,000 people is $150,000/person per year. The cost for one person receiving SNAP for one year is $2256, yet they're telling us that's too expensive. threads.com/@unapologeticallyzae

It's just a co-inky-dink. Nothing to see here, move along.

Ummmmmm

I'm I thinking that Der Punkinfuhrer should have an enema of clorox and hydroxycloriquin held inside by a fluorescent light bulb. That should cure his inside rot.

This! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

We should all be so brave

Winner! 🥇

Every American should read this ACLU lawsuit about what is happening in Los Angeles and California. It is the stuff of dystopian nightmares. This is not immigration enforcement. It is positively stuffed with videos and articles documenting racial profiling on a scale unseen since Jim Crow.

Wait, they're still talking about him?

PART VII:
You are beginning, I can see, to realize what that world will be like. But in the end you will do more than understand it. You will accept it, welcome it, become part of it.'

George Orwell, 1984.

And we are there.

PART VI:
and in the end utterly penitent, saved from himself, crawling to our feet of his own accord. That is the world that we are preparing, Winston. A world of victory after victory, triumph after triumph after triumph: an endless pressing, pressing, pressing upon the nerve of power.

PART V:
This drama that I have played out with you during seven years will be played out over and over again generation after generation, always in subtler forms. Always we shall have the heretic here at our mercy, screaming with pain, broken up, contemptible —

PART IV:
the weaker the opposition, the tighter the despotism. Goldstein and his heresies will live for ever. Every day, at every moment, they will be defeated, discredited, ridiculed, spat upon and yet they will always survive.
