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.

"The fundamental problem of humanity is we have Paleolithic emotions, medieval institutions, and godlike technology."

Edward O. Wilson

Maybe @washingtonpost.com should do a deep dive on how many need it today due to corporate robbers not paying a livable wage. Maybe think of it as corporate welfare for them to report more profit by squeezing 15% of their cost. Oligarchy in action

Never forget no matter how many years go by, before Justice is served.

Unless every person in the US has enough food to eat every day no one should be allowed to become a billionaire.

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.

Every $1 invested in SNAP generates $1.80 in economic activity.

It’s not about the money, Trump just wants Americans to go hungry.

A tweet from Robert Reich states: “The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?”

The oligarchy wants full control of what we watch and read.

Agree, give California our money back we don’t need the federal government. They want to make government smaller go ahead then you don’t need our money to run it.

Walz: "We have a federal system that we're all in it together, we help other states when they need it, but we have a situation where they're trying to divide us & provide specific aid to states that they like at the moment, which is absolutely unconscionable... either that or give us our money back"

I still don’t understand why, why was this so obvious to so many of us that he was this insane idiot, yet so many voted for him or couldn’t bother to vote. I just still can’t understand.

Every journalist news desk needs 2 ask if he is so concerned about the flow of drugs why did he allow members of El Chaps family enter the U.S. They were the #1 traffickers of fentenyl entering our country. Why did he pardon the owner of the notorious SilkRoad which trafficked fentenyl.

If you make 130% of the federal poverty level, you qualify for SNAP.

A family of four, making $40,560, qualifies for SNAP benefits meaning thousands of Missouri teachers qualify.

I’m tired of the bullshit. Most of the people who receive snap benefits work.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 84th day out of the last 96.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

Pretty weird that the Republican Party talks a lot about protecting Christians from unseen forces and how our country is based on Christian values, but when there are hungry people to feed and sick people who need health care, Jesus Christ is suddenly a radical commie.

If this regime didn’t have Artificial Intelligence, it would have no intelligence at all😂

I know this is obvious. And I know we all know this.
But if the President can raise taxes because an advert annoyed him, without even consulting Congress, then the US constitution is simply not functioning as intended.

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.

I haven’t seen anyone talk about how Jane Doe - an Epstein survivor - just sued the Bank of New York Mellon for funding Epstein and failing to file a Suspicious Activity Report. A Mellon heir is the one who gave $130M to pay the troops. Seems bribey to me.

Perhaps these methods of communication is now old school. We are ready for the next era.

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

Thank you, Chicago.

Women are being erased at the Pentagon. Women are being erased from history. And now a woman has been erased from the desecrated White House.

“According to a 2019 USDA report, every dollar in new SNAP benefits increases GDP by $1.50 in a weak economy.”

“SNAP benefits are one of the fastest, most effective forms of economic stimulus because they get money into the economy quickly during a recession.”
