🚨🔫Pulled on citizens. Video from different angle, broken in 2 parts because this MUST be seen. This 🧊 commits aggravated assault against the man on the ground. Video 1/2 Post 1/3

When you kill innocents on the open seas as a justification for war, you're scared AF at what the public will discover in the Epstein files.

The way he rubs his inhumanity in Americans” face never ceases to stun me.

He’s illegally refusing to pay food stamp benefits…

…while he throws a ridiculously over the top Gatsby party for his right wing millionaire and corporate friends.

It's been 38 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona's seventh congressional district to represent them in Congress.

Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in.

something like $6.80 a day, Congress receives $79.00

a lot of people seem to believe that receiving SNAP benefits is like getting a free run at Supermarket Sweep

Oh, some SNAP recipients are breaking the law with their benefits? Well, I have some super upsetting news for you about our entire national government.

Happy Halloween from Baby Jane and Uncle Jimmy! 🎃

Just because the govt is shut down doesn't mean you can't call your legislators. And just because John Thune isn't your senator doesn't mean you can't call his office and ask his staff why they're supporting a man who is fine with torturing pregnant woman, and starving & killing children for no pay

Two Illinois Guardsmen claim to have sworn an oath over orders, stating that they will not turn on their city

God I bloody love economists. This one zeroes in on Rand Paul’s tweet complaining about the number of people on food stamps. And while he doesn’t touch on income inequity vs cost of living, he does explain the cost for SNAP now vs pre-pandemic.

Feeding hungry children and people is not a waste of time ✊️

It's scary how cute Park Slope was tonight.

Happy Halloween, NYC.

The 25th Amendment Needs To Be Implemented….

“He’s genuinely stupid. People need to understand. There’s no plan. Every day in the White House, they scramble to match his mood. Most know he’s unbelievably incompetent, with zero grasp of reality or complex issues."

Kristi Noem is obsessing about how "unsafe" foreign truckers are.
What about HER decade of 20 speeding tickets, 3 failures to stop, a citation for driving without a license, and 6 failures to appear?

Inflatable Halloween costumes are really more of a long-term investment this year given how effective they are in fighting fascism.

Judge rules against the attempt to starve poor people.

If it takes the legal system to try and prevent the starvation of the poor and downtrodden in this country, we have reached a new low.

Silencing smart people so dumb people won’t be offended is like unplugging the smoke alarm so the fire won’t feel bad.

In 1932, the Soviet Union utilized food shortages as a means of coercion against the Soviet Ukrainian population. Called the Holodomor, it was a man-made famine used for political purposes, much like what Republicans in Congress are getting ready to do to fellow Americans.

If I had a dime for every remark I’ve heard from the MAGA crowd that “it’s time for these people on SNAP to find a job”, I’d be rich. 70% of all recipients already work full time jobs and still need assistance.

If employers paid a living wage, there would be less people in the program

Raise the minimum wage to a living wage

World Central Kitchen was founded in 2011 by Jose Andres to help Haiti post-earthquake, Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria, then Ukraine. They set up a kitchen in Gaza but 6 cooks were killed by Israeli army, forcing WCK to leave.
Now they are in Jamaica.
A great thing if you can donate.

It’s funny to think that the masked ICE Agents terrorizing communities are the same folks that spent two years saying they couldn’t breathe with a mask on.
