Greed has delivered us into the hands of an incontinent, incompetent, felonious racist with delusions of grandeur.
So thank you, politicians. I hope your money comforts you as the country burns down around us. Just remember, if we burn, you burn with us. #powertothepeople #nokings #endcitizensunited

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 β€œyour money” feeding people but not angry it’s giving tax cuts to the wealthy?

You’re doing their dirty work.

One click can rebuild our lives after we've lost everything. Just one click, my friend, don't hold back.
I survived gaza gencide, but I came out to find that everything I knew my home, my work, my city is gone.

Starting again feels impossible, but I’m trying, support and share will give me a new start β€οΈβ€πŸ©ΉπŸ«‚

Killing In The Name

Just started her book today and am halfway through it. It's horrifying what was done to her and countless other young women, and more horrifying still how few of those predators were ever brought to justice.

We saw actual video of ICE seizing an entire apartment building in Chicago

They arrested dozens of people-including citizens

And detained children after binding their hands with zip-ties

Yet, in Orwellian fashion, Kristi Noem tells us to reject the evidence of our eyes and ears
They could investigate how his meatsuit keeps walking around with no brain and no heart.
Some non-food essentials to donate:
Toothpaste/brushes
Feminine hygiene products
Can openers
Toilet paper
Diapers
Soap/shampoo/deodorant
Pet food

And most importantly: CASH. Giving cash allows your food banks to prioritize what is needed most/low in stock.

Go forth and give.
Give baking staples like flour, sugar, cooking oils, and vinegars, or salt/pepper/spices and condiments like ketchup/mustard. Shelf stable or powdered milk is also great. Infant formula is one of the most important needs out there, so if you can afford it, make it a priority. 🧡
Buy hearty soups/stews/chilis that don't require milk to prepare. Pasta, instant potatoes, and rice can be stretched into multiple meals. Oatmeal is a filling breakfast, especially if it has added protein. Healthy granola bars w/ protein can also boost breakfast. 🧡
#foodbanks Suggestions for donating to food banks/neighborhood food distribution spots:
Donate items high in protein such as peanut butter, nuts, eggs, lentils, beans, or canned chicken/salmon/tuna/turkey. If buying canned foods, make sure they're poptops, as some folks may not have a can opener. 🧡

"Oh Elon Musk he is just a nice guy trying to help people."

...

Maybe not.
Book haul. Took me a while to get @johnfugelsang.bsky.social's book b/c my local barnes & noble kept selling out. The clerk checking me out said how happy it makes him that they can't keep it on the shelves. As for Virginia Giuffre's book, may that brave, brave woman rest in peace. #booksky

Right now, people of sound mind & heart are pleading w/ the ruling party to:
not starve children
not terrorize them
not kidnap their parents
not crash their healthcare
& not protect their rapists.

And #GOP will decry how liberal values are degrading our nation.

Call your reps please: 202-224-3121
Look how gleeful he is about it, too. Gollum-lookin' ass rubbing his grubby hands together and popping a tiny hard-on as he imagines killing innocent people.

Palantir CEO Alex Karp laughs about profiting from killing Palestinians using AI.

He calls them 'Hamas' 'useful idiots' and 'mostly terrorists'.

But there is only one terrorist here, Palantir are war criminals.
He won't even stop illinois state police from assaulting protestors. He's the definition of a paper tiger.
Did @govpritzker.illinois.gov send a letter to the illinois state police telling them to pause assaulting protestors and cease abetting ice?
Netflix is not the paragon of virtue you think it is, given their support of genocidal israel and their erasure of Palestinian films. Just so you know.

I keep seeing people say, oh, trans people must take a hit for the greater good and, first of all, no, you don't get to discard someone else's rights and second, we know from past experience that marginalized communities like theirs are merely the first to be targeted. They'll come for you next.
