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.

With all these extrajudicial boat murders, we have a president who is not only an adjudicated rapist, but also an unapprehended serial killer.

In a way, I find the authoritarian takeover of our media system even more disturbing than the authoritarian takeover of our political system.

Our political system has been failing basically my entire adult life. But, the media system provided accountability and sort of worked. Now it’s collapsing.

Obama: The weird videos of a U.S. President with a crown on his head flying a fighter jet and dumping poop on protesting citizens… All of that is designed to distract you from the fact that your situation has not gotten better.

REV. BLACK (who was shot in the head with a pepper ball): “If this is what they’re doing to pastors, journalists, teachers, mothers, and the elderly gathered to sing and pray outside ICE facilities… what might they be doing to our neighbors who are behind those walls?”

Good morning and welcome to Fish For Tea Friday

You’ve made it through another week of ups, downs, and everything between.

Carry kindness into today; it’ll take you further than stress ever could. 💛

I would encourage donation to food banks instead of political campaigns . At this point we need to take care of each other . Sending more to Washington does nothing our choices at this point are starve the poor or take their healthcare .

Bynum: If you can find money to send $40 billion to Argentina but you can’t find money for food for kids and seniors, I have a problem with that. If you can find money for two airplanes for Kristi Noem, then you can find money to feed American children and seniors.

There are the "feed 100 in case 1 of them would otherwise starve" people.

And there are the "Starve 100 in case 1 of them doesn't actually deserve their food" people.

Far too many who claim to follow Jesus fall into the second camp.

Fentanyl and coke are the new “weapons of mass destruction” lie. It’s Iraq all over again, folks. It’s always about controlling the oil.

A tweet from Morgan J. Freeman states:
“FACT: Venezuela is NOT a major producer of cocaine.
They do not have large cocaine factories.
They do not produce fentanyl either.
What Venezuela does have is the world’s largest oil reserves.”

A great #Monday. It went from #snow this morning to #bluesky and #sunshine. My friends sent a FULL medium flat rate box of #peppers from their #farm. And my #Christmas #cactus is #blooming.

I got tired of doing all the initiating so I stopped. One terrible day I reached out & my friend answered “It’s been 2 years since you called!!!” I replied “And longer since you called me, friendships go 2 ways!” He said “You’re right.”

I’m still the only one who initiates. But I still have love.🤷🏻‍♀️
