Peaceful resistance
In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

She convinced me. The cat definitely did it! Her acting is better than Trump's.

SNAP is a lifeline for workers 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.

John Fetterman survived a stroke in 2022, which would be considered a pre existing condition.

He has a defibrillator for vfib, which can cost $34,000 to over $51,000.

He was one of 8 Dems who voted to gut the ACA and reopen the government.

He doesn’t have to worry, he has healthcare for life

I am exhausted of hearing about Jeffrey Epstein and seeing a bunch of men and women use the memory of a dead pedophile for political expediency.

I wanted to hear it all from the mouth of his most outspoken victim, and, frankly, one of the bravest women who ever lived.

Please read this book.
