Gavin Newsom: These guys are not screwing around. They're surgical. They want to roll back all of the progress in the last half century. But you're seeing people wake up everywhere. 7 million of you showed up. No crowns, no thrones, no kings.

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.

McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.

Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.

See the problem?

If nothing else, the last nine months should have made it clear that elections matter. But what’s remarkable about America is that we have the power, as citizens, to change this country by voting. Go to IWillVote.com.

LEAVITT: It's just a fact
Amazing isn’t it ? CEOs of major corporations can write off millions, sometimes billions of dollars in
“bad investments”. The individual can only reduce their taxes by $ 3000 per tax year. The system is RIGGED !

🚨🗳️🚨 Your vote matters. The gross assault on people like 53 year old, Ricardo Rodriguez, videoed here being brutally assaulted by ICE, is becoming commonplace. Fight the coup. Your vote IS your voice. 1/2
