Your vote is your voice β your power to shape the future, protect rights, & demand accountability. Every ballot is a stand for justice, progress, & hope. Donβt sit out β show up, speak up, & vote blue like the future depends on it. Because it does.
Just a reminder: millions of people who live in βredβ states didnβt vote for any of this shit.

Itβs not that folks donβt want to be healthy. They canβt afford to be healthy.
Marc Lobliner post on X: "Why the hell are we giving food stamps to 40 million people? Does anyone work anymore?"
SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live.
Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps:
* Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled
* Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employedβbut in jobs that pay poverty wages
