The Trumps are using the Oval Office as their own personal ATM machine, and anyone who says otherwise is lying to you.

We want to speak directly to members of the Military and the Intelligence Community.

The American people need you to stand up for our laws and our Constitution.

The President called for the murder of Congressional Democrats.

Congressional Democrats should call for his immediate removal or resignation.

Congressional Republicans should condemn his statements and call for him to recant them.

It's the very least they should be doing!

By day and night he wrongs me, every hour
He flashes into one gross crime or other
That sets us all at odds. I’ll not endure it.
His knights grow riotous, and himself upbraids us
On every trifle.

its so weird to me that people who think they're going to heaven when they die are currently going around saying the absolute most nasty, despicable, cruel things. Like what do you even think you're going to do in heaven, keep talking about how people need to get a job?

💯 social worker here - over the years. I have worked with many people and families who have to work two or three jobs at a time to just avoid homelessness and eat. Some of the hardest workers I have ever seen are dependent on SNAP benefits to feed their families.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

A group of US women kicked out a Nazi, while a group of US men stood around doing nothing.

People around the world are noticing that it is women who are leading the fight against fascists in the US. Whether it is Nazis or ICE.

SNAP benefits are about to lapse because of the shutdown. Reminders:
1. About 1 in 2 children will receive SNAP benefits at some point and 1 in 4 children are receiving benefits in a given month.
2. Trump is already planning to cut SNAP in other ways.

MAHA’s out here all smug with their lies about vaccines and sat fats while the same administration cuts nutrition benefits for children.

Talk to me about removing food dyes when every kid in the U.S. has enough to eat.

We are the richest country in dollars and the poorest in humanity.
