The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.
Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.
The people who need help are not the problem.
It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times -- what we are seeing right now is not a power consolidation, it is a power VACUUM
The services trump has spent 10 months cutting are needed. The DNCs donors spend millions every election. Spend it here. Spend it now.

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.
Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

Struggling with the next editorial. Original idea just didn't pan out and time is running out. Open to suggestions or could just do a Q&A style editorial where the Q's come from here. Those can be fun sometimes. Suggest or ask away. :)

No. No thanks. I like to fucking read. I like to read the whole document. I like to think about the document, I like to absorb the document, I like to talk about the document, I'd like to read it. I don't want to be more efficient. I don't need to be more efficient. Life is fast enough, let me live.

JFC we are so cooked
Americans arent stupid. They are trying desperately to vote themselves out of a political and economic horror scape.
Dems need to *significantly improve the quality of life for everyday Americans* to get elected
Dems need to spend money OUTSIDE of government, now, to do so.

Seriously, I want to see a one-plank platform from the Dems in 2028: criminal prosecution of this whole administration.
