Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.
The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.
They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.
Wanna fix fraud and abuse?
Fix that.

I think it’s time to look forward to how much we’ve got to do to demolish the Trump/maga legacy and rebuild a good, functional America.
It’s going to be hard work but fun to restore our country.
I vote the first step is to make Maralago a migrant retreat and step two restores the East Wing.

Voters should pick their representatives, not the other way around. Glad to get the chance to talk to some of the volunteers and organizers doing the hard work to make sure Prop 50 passes. This vote will have critical implications, not just for California, but for our entire country.

"Among the citizens detained are nearly 20 children, including two with cancer."
That's who ICE arrested and disappeared as part of Donald Trump's immigration policy.
It's outrageous.
I've been pressing for answers and I'll keep pushing for accountability.

A country is not a business, nor should it be run like one. Public services shouldn’t be expected to turn a profit.
Canada Post “lost” 1 billion dollars last year?
How about, “it cost Canadians 1 billion dollars to have a national postal service” which works out to costing about $25 a year per person (population of Canada in 2024 = 40 million). Seems like a pretty reasonable cost to me.

"Canada Post is on track to lose money" Hum. Duh. It cost less than a toonie to send a letter across Canada.
"Canada Post is a service and not a business" was common knowledge until late stage capitalism brain rotted most people into think if it ain't making money for shareholders, it's failing.

Speak up for free speech. Speak up for free press. Speak up for the freedom of comedians to critique and to call out wrongs.
Resist anyone in government who tries to control the media. No excuse or blaming or demonizing is adequate- it’s the road to the end of democracy.

Firing and demoralizing feminized jobs as enemies of the state while brazenly bribing men with violent jobs that almost instantly puts them into the middle of middle class is very basic gendered warfare. Fulfilling the manosphere’s promise.
It is insane to me that the government can find money to pay ICE agents increasingly larger sums of money, yet teachers have to buy their own pencils.
