THEY'RE PLAYING NOT LIKE US AT THE MAMDANI CAMPAIGN RALLY

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.

McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.

Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.

See the problem?
Well, we all get to end the day with a positive feeling. 💙 The Democrats won tonight.

Trump is a fascist dictator, so he doesn’t need votes. He’s in control. Even if he bullies the Dems into caving on the healthcare subsidies doesn’t mean he’ll release SNAP.

“Dick Cheney Has Died. The War Criminal in His Own Words”

10 quotes worth remembering, and that’ll be glossed over in MSM obits, from a former vice president who pushed for a murderous invasion of Iraq, lied about the WMD threat, and defended torture.

Understanding the complicated web of federal law enforcement invading our communities can be complicated, especially when you're face down on pavement and unable to breathe.

Here's a handy guide to knowing which federal agency is violating your civil liberties and human rights at any given moment.
The minimum wage in Indiana is $7.25. Indiana allows employers to pay people with disabilities even less. The practice is deplorable.
What Nancy said.
Nancy Pelosi: "He's just a vile creature, the worst THING on the face of the earth." All the pearl clutchers can shut it. Trump has said worse and I’m glad he gets a taste of his own medicine.

I second the motion on the floor!

Dolly Parton could’ve been a billionaire. Instead, since the beginning of her career Dolly chose to give huge portions of of her wealth away. #BillieEilish

Happy Election Day, Resisters!

I'm crossing my fingers that Prop 50 passes in California and Democrats nationwide win their races and help save democracy!

Trump has been ordered by courts to release the SNAP funds, but because he can, he’s only going to release half of the allotments. At some point even #MAGA #Republicans have to say enough, is enough.Trump is a fiend.

It’s clear who the aggressors are. Keep remaining nonviolent, and record EVERYTHING. All of these masked ICE thugs will be held accountable.

Trump still has not followed a court order to release SNAP funds for millions of people.

Meanwhile, he hosted a "Great Gatsby" themed party at Mar-a-Lago this weekend.

And he posted seven times about renovating a White House bathroom with marble and gold.

Priorities.
