Disgusted with the current state of affairs.
It’s a sad day when a judge has to order the President of the United States to feed vulnerable families and hungry children with funds already designated for that very purpose.

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.

11.1% of SNAP recipients are kids under age 5, 27.7% kids 5-17, 41.6% adults 18-59, 19.5% adults aged 60 & older https://www.ers.usda.gov/media/1124/snapparticipantage.xlsx
Did you know?
About 4.5 million SNAP recipients are babies and toddlers under age 5.
About 11.1 million SNAP recipients are kids aged 5 to 17 years, who need food for healthy growth, learning, & development.
The federal government has the capacity to continue funding SNAP during a shutdown.
There is only one thing the oligarchs and corporations sucking up to Trump care about: their money. Not their reputations, unless it affects their money.
Remember that when fighting back. Go after their money.
Amen. And fast.

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.
Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

Merkley: "What we've seen is that democracies no longer die bc men w/guns go in and take it over. Instead, it's electeds who erode the separation of power. If you have a rubber-stamp Congress & courts that deliver more power to the executive, suddenly you have an authoritarian state. It's here now."
