If you have not yet read Sarah Kendzior’s book ‘They Knew’ buy the book or borrow the book from your library. Just READ the book now ! I read it a few years ago and am going to re-read again. Give her a follow also.

From my book THEY KNEW, written in 2021, on Trump's plans. This is what's happening now.

It’s not that hard to understand the idea that fascism is repugnant and should not be tolerated by civil society.

WHATEVER they were doing,
• They weren't doing it in our jurisdiction
• They were not a military threat to our forces
• They weren't doing it in crafts capable of REACHING our jurisdiction
• We have laws for civilian crimes
• And no civilized country commits random piracy and murder on the high seas

While their supporters vilify anyone who doesn’t work and receives government assistance, congress gets paid throughout the shutdown.

While people lose their Medical care, congress gets healthcare for life.

While folks lose SNAP, congress gets over $70 a day for food

Hold them accountable:

The average US taxpayer spends $36 a year on SNAP

You know what they spend on corporate subsidies? $670

Poor and disabled people who need food are not the problem

If you’re angry about “your money” feeding people but not angry it’s giving tax cuts to the wealthy?

You’re doing their dirty work.

Providing food assistance to residents in need is not just a moral issue, it’s also a legal one. I am grateful that the court has agreed that the USDA is obligated to spend available funding to support food assistance and prevent Americans from going hungry.

Undocumented immigrants paid $100 billion in taxes in 2022. It would cost $300 billion to deport them all. They're here, they're working, they're contributing. Give them a pathway to citizenship.

Recently, we’ve launched our 2025 Holiday Gift Guide, and we’re taking a closer look at what’s inside, continuing with accessories.

Each item made in Ukraine today represents more than commerce — it reflects hope, identity, and a vision for the future.

Anyone can become disabled.

Anyone can lose their job.

Anyone can become homeless.

Anyone can go hungry.

These are not moral failings. They can happen in an instant.

Most people are far closer to living in poverty than they realize.

We must fight for one another & for the most vulnerable.

God bless and #RIP June Lockhart, who smacked down Virginia Graham ON HER OWN SHOW about acceptance of homosexuality and prompting Ms Graham to sound like a blithering idiot. Thank you for being an ally.

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

This is a great thread. You might not need it now (or think you'll ever need it), but you might be glad you've read it.

This is not something I want to do, but as someone who was food insecure for a long time, here are some ways to get the most out of what you can get.

-if you have dietary restrictions or food aversions, spend some time thinking about what foods are safe. It sounds obvious, but—

Hey y'all, I need a favor. We all know that Healthcare is the #1 priority for the Dems right now, and it should be. But #2 has to be housing the unhoused.

HUD is changing some rules, and only 30% of thr unhoused being being helped now will keep their housing. (1/4)

I learned this from a friend who works to help the unhoused get housing in MD, DC, and NoVA.

The clients she and her employers serve will only be allowed access to housing for 2 years.

And job search requirements are getting added, meaning the program won't help ppl on SSI/SSDI.(2/4)

Please, write your senators, write your reps, tell them how important it is that they make housing their #2 priority.

Senators and reps that my friend's boss talked to said they haven't heard from people, don't think it's a priority for Americans. (3/4)

Prove to them that it is a priority. Tell them they need to fight for the unhoused.

If you need to, look at it as a health care issue:

Mental and physical health improves when you have secure housing.

Please help. (4/4)
