FACTS about SNAP:

-35% to white people (largest share)
-90% to people born in 🇺🇸
-86% to households with kids
-70% work full time but aren’t paid a living wage (aka corporate welfare)

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.
Already done. They asked why and I told them. They don’t pay indie artists and they support the American SS.
Hello qobuz!
Join this national movement - show the regime and its collaborators that the people have power!!! Spread the word to Cancel Spotify!!!
Spotify is now running ICE recruitment ads. We asked them to stop. They ignored us. Let's show them what we showed Disney. No Kings, No Collaborators, No Capitulators. indivisible.org/cancel-spotify
Not the one I worked in, noise cancellation microphones dampen the sound.
Oh? You didn’t know?
This is what a call center might look like. Some jobs aren’t important enough to get a full cubicle.

On the bright side, Argentina’s stock market is doing great today after Trump gave them $40 billion. Meanwhile, Americans are expected to go hungry in just a few days.
The R’s have all the power to end this, they are choosing to let their constituents starve rather than release the Epstein files.

Donald Trump deleted this from the government website.

Let's be clear: there's funding available to cover SNAP benefits next month. Trump is stopping SNAP benefits because he wants to. He is forcing mommas and babies to go hungry.
What Eric is most afraid of is me and my spouse, both white, working class Americans, footing the bill for his salary and benefits.

We want our tax dollars to be spent on human rights, food, shelter and healthcare.
Eric is afraid of our humanity and acts of kindness and compassion.

Some useful info to keep straight.

Instead of fixing healthcare

Donald Trump is spending
$40 billion to Argentina
$300 on his ballroom
$170 million for two private jets for Kristi Noem

It has been 39 days since House Republicans have shown up for work.
Word to Mike Johnson, please, for the love of god, please, please masturbate!

Maybe then you will actually begin thinking more like Jesus instead of a facist sycophant.

I want my tax dollars to go to SNAP benefits, not Donald Trump's 7th golf trip of the month.

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.

More than half of the people who receive SNAP are fully employed. You tax money isn't going to pay for people's food. It's going to employers so they can keep paying low wages.

Can someone please ask him how the GOP changed the 60 vote threshold twice in the last two months to approve 150+ trump appointees in one go? Cuz they are in charge and can change the rules to open the government. And they know it. They WANT the shutdown.
Mike Johnson: "Democrats are required to open the government. They keep saying, 'Republicans are in charge of government.' We aren't!"
This⬇️
Dems need to play the game like the Reps do:
1. Jeffries should tell Johnson that enough Dems will change their vote on CR once House is back in session.
2. As soon as the House is open, make Johnson swear in new members.
3. Immediately force vote on Epstein files.
4. Vote “no” on CR anyway.

Trump gave Amazon a $16 billion tax break to accelerate its investments this year.

Now, Amazon will replace 600,000 workers with robots as Jeff Bezos accelerates his plan to automate warehouses.

No. Corporate tax breaks do not trickle down to workers. Never have. Never will.
This is the crux of our problems in the US.

The billionaire class has corrupted our democracy.
Corporations are not people. We need to end citizens united. Corporations have too much power and it shows.
Until she actually finds her spine and does something significant like switch parties and denounce this regime Murkowski can f*ck all the way off. No one cares she’s “afraid” or concerned.
She had a chance to resist this regime instead she fell in line and screwed her constituents over.
Breaking: Sen. Lisa Murkowski fearlessly comes forward to say she’s unhappy with the “optics” of demolishing the East Wing and building a $250M ballroom during the ongoing federal shutdown.

Lisa added that she’s 𝘦𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 concerned about the looming Medicaid and SNAP cuts… that she voted for.
@housedemocrats.bsky.social should seriously consider doing this.
Since the House is in recess why don't Democrats interview Jack Smith on their own, in public and televise it on MSNBC with Rachel Maddow as moderator?
Seems like the GOP/guardians of pedophiles are ignoring rule of law and pardoning admittedly guilty criminals.
But everyday tax paying Americans like me are footing the cost of this corrupt regime.
I want my tax dollars back.

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.
