ICE followed the mother into a school and aggressively detained her along with her children.
This is so heartbreaking 💔

Bynum: If you can find money to send $40 billion to Argentina but you can’t find money for food for kids and seniors, I have a problem with that. If you can find money for two airplanes for Kristi Noem, then you can find money to feed American children and seniors.

If you make 130% of the federal poverty level, you qualify for SNAP.

A family of four, making $40,560, qualifies for SNAP benefits meaning thousands of Missouri teachers qualify.

I’m tired of the bullshit. Most of the people who receive snap benefits work.

He's taking away healthcare for millions. He gets a thrill out of killing people on the open seas. He wants you to hate. Dwell on that – he wants you to hate. He's demanding our justice department pay him $230,000,000. He thinks he owns the country.

He is a clear and present danger.

😢 Betty Ford once said that "if the White House West Wing is the mind of the nation then the East Wing is the heart.”

Well, it's gone now, because we have a grotesque president who is sick in the mind, and was born without a heart.

To hell with him -- and soon, please.

The GOP in Congress are worse than useless. They are craven enablers of murder.

Among other things, probably like the eighth or ninth awful thing of all this, is that they're destroying all the things my taxes pay for, but *they aren't even giving me my fucking taxes back*.
If you have it please donate cash to the food banks. $10 in their hands will feed more people than the $10 worth of canned goods you can buy for retail prices. Also check on your elders. Many of them will not admit they rely on these programs so grocery gift cards or a surprise bag of staples

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live.

Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps:

* Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled

* Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages

💯💯This is why republicans have refused to raise the minimum wage in 16 years and have given themselves 9 raises because of inflation. They want us poor, uneducated and dead if we are not healthy enough to work the farms or shot a gun.

SNAP is probably the most effective federal dollar we spend in terms of long term domestic economic outcomes.

that isn’t why you should support it; you should support it because it is a moral imperative to feed the hungry.

but it’s why even a growth-oriented ghoul shouldn’t oppose it.

Donald Trump’s America where simply having brown skin means you’re going to be terrorized by ICE thugs, with NO warrant, while running daily errands.

Reminder:
IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE THIS WAY!

Trump and his vile ilk have got to go.

The people on this airplane have a sense of duty and self-sacrifice that Donald Trump will never understand. They are NOAA employees flying their plane through the middle of the category 4 Hurricane Melissa south of Jamaica. And they aren't getting paid.

I wish them safe flying and a safe return
Every step Cuomo makes on this campaign just provides further proof of what a horrible human he is.

starving over 40 million people right before major holidays + massively upping healthcare costs does strike me as a rather bold move this early in the authoritarian consolidation game for any given fascist regime, but I guess we’ll see what happens

Help slow down ICE’s terror. Talk to local businesses about putting up signage to protect employees from ICE raids and show solidarity with immigrant communities: act.indivisible.org/signup/signs...
Wow. You really really do need to see this. And save it.
Proof that the U.S. government social media accounts are in fact white nationalist propaganda accounts, funded by our tax dollars.

You’ve got to see this…

He got the Speaker he wanted - a cuck who will sit in the corner and let him do whatever he pleases whenever he wants.
