California’s Prop 50 hugely important. Its approval by voters will not only combat Texas gerrymander but hopefully convince other Dem states to step up & counter Trump’s plan to rig midterms www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

California fights Trump's attempt to steal the midterms

The state can strike the first blow against Trump's plan to subvert democracy.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

It borders on blasphemy that that cretin has to be referred to as "President".

The President wants to use the military to crack down on Americans who are exercising their 1st Amendment rights to oppose him. I can’t think of a better reason to insist on exercising those rights.

In the 60-year history of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, it’s never run out of money. Here are the states suing the federal government over it.

I was part of the internal Trump administration team trying to convince the president to end the shutdown in 2018 - 2019 — for 35 days — before people went hungry, workers lost pay, and government services collapsed.

Here’s what I learned: he doesn’t give a shit.

The same people who think buying junk food with SNAP benefits is “abusing the system” are fine with wealthy parents using vouchers to send their kids to private schools.

Missouri gives ‘one of the biggest millionaire tax cuts’ this year, report says

This year, Missouri became the first state in the country to tax income but not capital gains. That could present a challenge as the state prepares to face a budget shortfall.

The world’s crises rarely are rarely simple. Malnutrition drives disease outbreaks. In Sudan, almost half the population (≈20M people) faces acute food insecurity and hence disease. The government has expelled the UN WFP Country Director and Head of Operations within 72 hours — no reason given.

Support the Stand Up for Sudan Act, and boycott the UAE for financing and arming the RSF committing genocide in Sudan. #BDStheUAE

Congresswoman Sara Jacobs @sarajacobs.house.gov · 4d

The UAE needs to be held accountable for its arming of the genocidal RSF. That's why I have introduced my Stand Up for Sudan Act that would block sales to the UAE until they stop sending weapons to the RSF.

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Make no mistake about it: This administration is trying to take away your ability to protest their new secret police force and even stand next to those who do so, and they are abusing the legal system to do so.

Kat is not afraid. I'm not either. We all have to stand together here. We will win.

A genocide in Gaza, a genocide in Sudan.
