All kinds of people are going to be affected by the cruel withholding of access to benefits, including our LOW-PAID and UNPAID #caregivers. #IHSS in CA is already seeing a reduction of benefits.

SNAP is a lifeline for workers in low-wage jobs.
Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.
Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps.
Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

A big victory for the University of California.
And a call to every university across the U.S. to refuse to sacrifice academic freedom to Donald Trump.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

As we all see how much our ACA premiums are going to increase, the sharks are circling, offering "deals". Make sure you understand what is being offered. If it sounds "too good to be true", it probably is. Paying premiums for "health insurance" you cannot use is NOT better than no insurance at all!

We have to be careful not to get wrapped up in what this looks like. Melania did not sign any executive order. Trump signed the "Take It Down" Act that was passed by Congress into law. Melania was encouraged to sign after Mr Trump did. Do your own fact checking. www.snopes.com/fact-check/m...
