I want to share this with family but don’t see a reference or source. Who put it out?

No you don’t actually. You don’t own your footage. Just the equipment. That’s how they screw us.

If you have a RING door system, ICE has the right to request that footage and use it against you or your neighbors.

RING is partnering with the Gestapo.

Cost to fund SNAP and keep 42 million people from starving:

$100 billion

Cost of lost revenue due to tax cuts for the richest Americans in the top 1%:

$100 billion

One is decried as "welfare." One is not.

Why?

Wow! It’s not even close. Food banks can’t keep up with the need…

Question: “How long is this sustainable.”

Food bank director: “It’s not… for every meal that a food bank provides, the SNAP program provides nine. There’s no way we can meet that gap.”

I have never once wished I didn’t have to pay taxes to educated kids even though I don’t have any. I can’t imagine resenting people being fed, housed or having healthcare. It makes no sense.

Spotify is running recruitment ads for ICE.

A platform built to connect creators and listeners is helping an authoritarian regime build up its secret police force.

But we’re not going to idly accept that. We’re going to make Spotify listen: indivisible.org/cancel-spoti... #CancelSpotify

My neighbor told me she would rather see people do without than have anyone get assistance that they don’t deserve.
That is the heart of MAGA.

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.

Food insecurity is ALWAYS a political choice. Famine is ALWAYS manmade. People go hungry because of other people’s decisions. We have more than enough food for everyone, and enormous amounts of it are wasted—literally thrown in the garbage—on purpose.

Senate Dems are demanding answers about Trump's White House demolition and whether any of the donors could be engaging in "quid pro quo arrangements."

Sen. Elizabeth Warren and colleagues are requesting a detailed accounting of the donors and specifics about the contracting and approval process.

Trump demolishes the East Wing — and White House norms

The East Wing's rapid razing bypassed a detailed process for major federal renovation projects in Washington. Now, Senate Democrats are demanding answers.

There’s only been one lawsuit filed against the devastating destruction of the White House.

One.

And it’s by Virginia couple, Charles and Judith Voorhees.

Not Congress, not historical (or any) institutions, but a citizen couple.

We continue to be the resistance.
