Why do people buy pizza with EBT?

Because cauliflower is five dollars a head and you can buy five pizzas with the same money.

Itโ€™s not that folks donโ€™t want to be healthy. They canโ€™t afford to be healthy.

President Trump said he is ordering the resumption of nuclear weapons testing.

This is a horrible, dangerous, costly idea.

A tweet from the official Department of Homeland Security account tags @SenatorDurbin and reads:
โ€œ.@SenatorDurbin, this is SHAMEFUL. Want to talk about TERRORIZING? How about condemn the terrorist attacks and mass assaults against our law enforcement.โ€
It continues:
โ€œOur @ICEgov officers are PROTECTING our communities from illegal alien gang members, rapists, and child sex offendersโ€”that YOU are supporting. You should be thanking our brave men and women of @ICEgov instead of demonizing them.โ€

Senator Dick Durbin posts:
โ€œYour agents arrested a young cancer patientโ€™s dad. Sheโ€™d just returned from chemotherapy. No criminal record. Immigrants arenโ€™t the threat here. You are.โ€
Below the tweet is a photo showing a man wearing a cap and an American flag t-shirt sitting next to a smiling young girl in a sombrero at a restaurant, with food and drinks on the table in front of them.

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.

Itโ€™s corporate greed. Itโ€™s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

Sheeshโ€ฆone of my favorite scenes in my 2nd middle grade novel takes place in that theater. I know itโ€™s just destruction of a building and canโ€™t compare to the destruction of lives as heโ€™s doing with so many immigrants and protesters destroying their freedoms & their rights.

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?

Seriously! My husband and I attended the 2016 Democratic convention as Bernie peacekeepers and were absolutely appalled at the treatment of an incredibly popular candidate. They were never going to let him have the nomination, no matter what. Such a rigged game!
