I voted YES on Prop 50 because we cannot let anyone silence the will of the people.

California is fighting fire with fire and standing up for democracy everywhere. Vote yes on Prop 50 by mail or in person on Election Day, this Tuesday, November 4.

President Orange Julius Caesar and his ilk claim that guns are a God given right but don’t feel that food is a God given right. They claim to care about babies but don’t care if they go hungry when they become children.

You know it’s serious when corporates begin to complain.

Pennsylvania has an important Supreme Court race coming up on Tuesday, November 4. If you live in the Keystone State, or know someone who does, vote YES to retain three justices who will protect your fundamental rights and freedoms.

When we were deployed, some Afghans risked their lives to help us. Now Trump wants to send them out to be killed by the Taliban.

It’s a disgrace, a betrayal, and a decision that endangers future US troops.

I Will Vote Be a voter. Find everything you need to vote in your state’s next election.

It’s never been more important to support men and women who respect the Constitution and the rule of law. So make a plan to vote at IWillVote.com/VotingInfo/PA.

Studies show that when families who receive SNAP benefits have an able bodied adult, 89% of the time this person is employed

Which indicates many corporations don’t pay workers a living wage-and are thus subsidized by SNAP-yet somehow Republicans never mention this when they cry about “socialism”

🆘Just saw a headline reading something to the effect of, "Pete Hegseth reports 14 people are dead after the US attacked another boat suspected of carrying drugs."

Government sanctioned murdered is now commonplace? We just don't give a shit anymore?

A meme by Brian Tyler Cohen of a quote by Roxane Gay: "The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse."

My dad was a federal agent back when it was called INS, Immigration & Naturalization Service. Was it perfect? No.
But their main focus was in its name. My dad’s unit went after smugglers specifically.
They didn’t separate families.
Bush dismantled INS, forming ICE.
Trump weaponized it.
Here we are.

A stat we don't talk about enough: Newspapers have lost 77% of their jobs over the last 20 year, more than any of the 532 other industries tracked by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Democrats are fed up with ICE traumatizing kids at schools At least half a dozen Democratic senators, led by Tammy Duckworth of Illinois, are calling on the Department of Education to stop immigration raids near schools. The letter, which was sent on ...

Children should not be caught in the crossfire of Donald Trump's cruel immigration agenda. Schools should be ICE-free zones, just like they are drug-free and gun-free zones.

They are trying so hard to convince you that the party in control of the White House and both chambers of Congress isn’t to blame for what’s coming.

My two takeaways on this:

1. CNN's CEO is utterly craven. No surprise there.

2. The White House is getting very nervous about how poorly the demolition of the East Wing is going over with most Americans. Good.

It's crazy how fast this country has fallen into Fascism. To see masked armed men roaming our street detaining people who are hard at work. Pregnant women, old people, ministers, children being slammed to the ground, tear gassed, zip tied, and disappeared.

The chaos, your suffering, is the point.
They want you the break, so they can clamp down harder.

Here is the news article:

And establish universal healthcare. And eliminate food deserts and hunger. And tax the f’ing rich.

Also, impeach, convict, and remove the lawless orange tyrant who violates the Constitution every damn day.

Tim Walz: "People are gonna be lined up out here to get food, and we're talking about a damn ballroom. Don't lose the plot."

Millions of Americans are already learning that their health insurance costs for 2026 are going way up.

I want to hear from you so we can make this impossible for the GOP to ignore the consequences of their policies.

If your premiums are going up, reply below and please share your story.

Walz: "They are paying contractors to pay down the East Wing but they're not putting money into the food bank. So if there's a sense of frustration in America, it's very real ... when the White House press secretary said their top priority is the ballroom, we could not disagree more."

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.

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.

Insight from someone on Facebook:

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?
