An estimated 15.7 million workers use SNAP. It’s a lifeline for those in low-wage jobs.

Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.

Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps.

Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

California – this Election Day, vote yes on Prop 50.

California’s Prop 50 says that if Republicans are going to abuse the system to try and hang onto power, we’re going to counteract that abuse and create a level playing field in the midterm elections.

Make a plan to vote yes on Prop 50.

The regime’s attacks on dissent are escalating. Trump’s goal is to silence opposition through fear, but the American people will never submit to his corrupt rule. The best way to protect our rights is by continuing to exercise them.

#suffield needs new leadership. As First Selectman, Jim Irwin and his fellow #democrats will work to solve problems the vast majority of Suffield’s citizens care about instead of pushing the agenda of an ultra conservative minority. #localelections #ctpolitics #library #librarians #vote

In America, speaking freely is a right that matters deeply to us all. So people who stand up for their beliefs are vilified, I ask "Why?" It's certainly not about patriotism. You don’t defend democracy by silencing it. Speak up! #TruthBrigade truthbrigade.indivisible.org/s/mql7ot87

Goodnight 💚 we hope you get some rest this weekend
What if this darkness is not the darkness of the tomb, But the darkness of the womb. What if our America is not dead, But a country that is waiting to be born. What if the story of America is one long labor What if all our grandfathers and grandmothers are standing behind us now, Those who survived occupation and genocide, Slavery and Jim Crow, Detentions and political assault. What if they are whispering in our ear tonight, You. Are. Brave. Valerie Kaur
