Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.

The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.

They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.

Wanna fix fraud and abuse?

Fix that.

I'm scared all the time and it's exhausting. The cruelty in my country toward the poverty class and the disabled still takes my breath away. So many people truly think I have SNAP because I'm too lazy to provide for myself. I'm a quadriplegic. I truly need help.

Elon Musk endorses Cuomo for mayor of New York and makes sure to add some racism in there: “…Mumdumi or whatever his name is.”

Elon Musk: Remember to vote tomorrow in New York!
Bear in mind that a vote for Curtis is really a vote for Mumdumi or whatever his name is.
VOTE CUOMO!

Another big endorsement for Andrew Cuomo. And it only cost $959 million in tax breaks.

"Kamala Harris a perdu parce qu'elle était trop radicale sur les questions trans!"

Harris n'a pratiquement rien dit sur les personnes trans. Les républicains ont prétendu le contraire. Ça s'appelle un mensonge. Et aucun analyste ne semble s'intéresser à la place du mensonge dans la dérive à droite.

La majorité de ceux qui analysent la gauche pour lui dire qu'elle devrait être plus ça ou moins ça (généralement "moins woke") analysent en fait ce que la droite leur a fait croire que la gauche est.

They’re following the Russian playbook.

50501: The People’s Movement ❌👑 @50501movement.bsky.social · Aug 1

There is a playbook here they appear to be following:

1) Break apart the government.
2) Crash the economy.
3) Sell government assets and bankrupt companies to billionaires for cheap.
4) Cement power for oligarchs and fascists.

But we the people will not allow this—we will resist, and we will win.

How 'shock therapy' created Russian oligarchs and paved the path for Putin

In the 1990s, reformers adopted a radical economic program in Russia. It devastated ordinary Russians and created a new class of oligarchs. And it explains the rise of Putin and the leader he is today

Early this morning, our city still plunged into darkness, I set off to walk the Brooklyn Bridge.

As the sun came up, we were joined by canvassers, labor leaders, elected officials, and working people — a movement to bring a new day to our city.

Tomorrow, we win it together.

Zohran, Tish James and Brad Lander lead a procession of hundreds walking across the Brooklyn Bridge at dawn.

Tish James, Brad Lander, Tony Simone and Rita Joseph wait for the march on the bridge.
