•Medicaid—which 60M Americans rely on to survive
•SNAP—which 42M Americans rely on to eat
•School Lunch—which 30M kids rely on daily
•Housing Assistance—which 5M families rely on to live
ALL to cut $4.5T in taxes for 800 Billionaires
This Is Barbaric.

I’m good with my taxes subsidizing social welfare for people who can’t afford food.
I’m enraged with my taxes subsidizing corporate welfare to businesses that won’t pay a living wage.

People are so excited that we might be on the verge of civil war. I’m not. I’m a basic bitch who likes basic things like pumpkin spice lattes and not getting shot at in the grocery store.

The “party of small government” has just created the largest militarized police force on Earth, and a top 15 military globally. What could possibly go wrong with a secret police force that rounds up undesirables without due process of law and locks them in concentration camps???

The Democratic Party is an absolute disgrace. If progressives dumped them & formed a new party in force, these corporate ass-kissers would either join the Nazis who they better align with anyways or be voted out into obscurity forever. Progressives have the answers the people want.

Democrats: We oppose Donald Trump's tax plan because it cuts taxes on the rich. The rich should pay more taxes.
Mamdani: I agree! Here's my tax plan to tax the rich. Let's go!

Fellow authors, I love you, and I know it feels like we don’t have a choice, but B&N and Am*zon both scheduled sales this week to preempt Independent Bookstore Day, a hugely vital source of income for indie bookstores. Please don’t promote their sales; please promote your local indie this week.

It's so important right now to give yourself dumb little reasons to keep going. You haven't had the best sandwich you've ever tasted. You haven't laughed the hardest you've ever laughed. You haven't gotten the best hug you've ever felt. I know these things feel small but that's why they help me.
