The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.
Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.
Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.
But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.
Remember this.

Trump and Republicans just passed a tax cut that will gift $100B annually to the richest 1%.
$100B could fund SNAP for a year.
It's not a matter of what this country can or can't afford. It's about priorities.

Brooke Rollins: "I guess the silver lining in all of this is that we're having a national conversation on our SNAP program. This has shined a light on a program that especially under the last administration has just become so bloated."
