Really? You're gonna make me do this one?

Thou Shalt Not Starve Your Own People.

There you go.

The average US taxpayer spends $36 a year on SNAP

You know what they spend on corporate subsidies? $670

Poor and disabled people who need food are not the problem

If you’re angry about “your money” feeding people but not angry it’s giving tax cuts to the wealthy?

You’re doing their dirty work.

An estimated 15.7 million workers use SNAP. It’s a lifeline for those in low-wage jobs.

Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.

Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps.

Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

Maybe he has fewer papers to flush this term.

We don’t need the Heritage Foundation’s opinion on nuclear testing. They should go read a Bible instead and try to figure out why their master plan is to starve children and take away health care from the elderly.

The Bezos-owned Washington Post wants you to know that there’s nothing wrong with the Bezos and Friends-funded President Oligarch Ballroom for Doing Bribes and Stuff, sponsored by Jeff Bezos.

Also, its owner in no way resembles a steroidal thumb that sprouted like a potato, that’s on the record.

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor.

Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors.

These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism.

This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function.

Every American should reject it.

Denouncing modern art (AKA "Degenerate Art") was the only part of the Nazi playbook that had been missing from Stephen Miller's commentaries.

To be clear:
These donations are bribes, made anonymously to conceal Trump’s corruption.

I had stopped checking, but my niece noticed my return - quite a surprise, & a bit touching that she (or anyone) looked for me. I was mourning the loss of a communication channel with friends I've come to cherish, so I'm glad that crisis has passed = whatever it was.

All of them.

New update on the east wing construction 🇺🇲

Alaska $25 million
Ballroom $300 million
Argentina $40 billion

ed Cruz coming out in support of Pedophiles is nothing new. The guy has been a registered Republican for years.

In Trump's America, you're an order of magnitude more likely to get attacked on the street by ICE and the National Guard than by any foreign gang member.

In Trump's America, you're a hell of a lot more likely to lose your healthcare due to Trump's tax giveaways to billionaires, than because an emergency room doctor patched up an undocumented immigrant.

In Trump's America, you're a hell of a lot more likely to be kidnapped off the street and beaten by masked goons cosplaying as ICE agents than you are to be assaulted by an immigrant.

Not only a damned fool but complicit in all the destruction, lies, and harm. It was on "we the people" to prevent the situation we're in by doing our civic duty - not just voting but being *informed* voters who pay attention to actions of elected officials. Too bad they slept thru Civics class.

Facebook deleted me. No explanatory email. No way to reactivate or appeal. I'll be looking for friends from there over here & breaking the habit of finding info (local stuff) shared in groups there. If you knew a toy hedgehog on FB, it was probably me. Say hi.

Thank you, Joyce - I miss everyone there, too. I wonder if I'll ever find out what happened to that account.

Here are the companies destroying the east wing of the White House

“This is a take-one-for-the-team moment.

Our country is dying, and Jack Smith knows it.

He’s asking to testify publicly, so you know he’s got receipts.

Doing this paints an even larger target on his back, and he's saying, "Fuck it."

Go Jack!”

Since the House is in recess why don't Democrats interview Jack Smith on their own, in public and televise it on MSNBC with Rachel Maddow as moderator?

Our driver told me "he was just a wacko" and I said, "wackos kill people these days." Maybe he'll report it now. He should have. Our address is on our vans...

Our library delivery driver was threatened yesterday - guy followed him to a library, said he'd shoot him. Claimed "all the folks" from our Library System drive like maniacs & he was going to mess our guy up. Should have reported that jerk to the police.

Carney: But this decades-long process of an ever-closer economic relationship with the United States is now over. And as a consequence, many of our former strengths as a country—more particularly, our economic strengths based on close ties to America—have now become our vulnerabilities… #cdnpoli
