Imagine a better world, where facts are facts, expertise is trusted, and people are honest, empathetic, and kind.
A full strategy countering Project 2025 is needed - and as sophisticated - including money and influence behind the strategy.

Itβs for anyone whoβs living below the poverty line, which sadly includes a lot of people who are working full time jobs.
But hereβs the thingβ¦ even if it were βjustβ for the unemployedβ¦ they still deserve food!
No one deserves to starve.
9 months back in power, and every branch of government now merged into one corrupt man. The House, the Senate, the Supreme Court, all nothing but autopens for a crook whoβs doubled his fortune while Americans starve.

They have the money to fund SNAP through November. They refuse to use it.
The cruelty is the point.
A Democratic Senator should hold a filibuster by reading Virginia Giuffre's entire memoir on the floor.

This. Is. Illegal.
If anything like the rule of law were in force, Trump couldn't arbitrarily increase a tariff because he is annoyed.
In important and increasing ways, the rule of law in the US no longer exists.

Deeply racist, yes, but also deeply stupid.
Rural counties have higher enrollments than urban ones. Some of the largest enrollment states are red ones like Louisiana, Oklahoma and West Virginia. Undocumented immigrants are ineligible. Most beneficiaries are required to work 80 hrs/month.
Did you know that over 1.3M active duty service members and veterans rely on SNAP benefits to feed themselves and their families?
Now you know.
I was asked to be on a bi-partisan committee supplying congress with information on food insecurity.
Yes, there are going to be A LOT of people surprised when they see the extent of our fellow citizens who use SNAP (about 40 million, lots of veterans) and WIC (over 6 million) programs.
Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Republicans control all 3 branches of the government and claim theyβre leading us into a βGolden Age.β But they canβt figure out how to end a government shutdown, and they want us to blame the party that controls exactly zero branches of government.

First, many SNAP recipients have jobs. Theyβre just living below the poverty line because of tremendous wealth inequality.
Second, many are disabled and children and canβt work.
Third, no one should starve to death.
The thing to understand about fascism is that most people you know will be bought off. Bought with promises of peace and stability, bought with business opportunities or paid with actual cash. Most people aren't going to resist. Get used to it and get used to operating in that environment.

People keep saying it's privately funded. That's misleading. "Privately funded" is when foundations and wealthy individuals pay for it.
At least half a dozen of these donors are major federal contractors dependent on U.S. taxpayers. This is money laundering.
Adelita Grijalva won her election to Congress 29 days ago with 70% of the vote yet Mike Johnson refuses to swear in. This is a continuation of the GOP's rejection of democracy.
