The question isn’t why there are over 40 million Americans on SNAP. The question is why so many people who are gainfully employed make so little that they qualify for it.
@unusual_whales Fun Fact: a bullet to the head from an AR-15 has caused more neurological damage and death in schools in America than cellphones in school across the globe combined.
Sanders: If we were a poor country, I would say, “I’m sorry that you have to work 50 hours a week,” or “I’m sorry that you have to do dangerous work,” or “I’m sorry that you can’t afford to send your kid to college,” or “I’m sorry that the elementary school your child attends is inadequate,” but we’re a poor country, we just can’t afford that.
We are not a poor country!
There is no excuse on God’s earth for people to have to choose between food and the medicine they need to stay alive.
AOC: Alina Habba said, “What intellectual thought.. you were in a bar AOC. Not to have a drink but to serve one.” I don’t care what this woman says about me but I want you to understand that she isn’t just talking about me, she’s talking about all of us. Trump hired her to speak for him. Imagine what it means for our country that the President’s own lawyer cannot even conceive of a working class person being intelligent simply because of the job that they have.
Remember when they kept telling us that this administration is only concerned about “illegal immigrants?”
Remember how mocked we were for calling it out for the lie that it is?
This is not only unjust, it is cruel and barbaric.
Today, Mildred Baker ran her first-ever half marathon at the 2025 #UnitedNYCHalf - at the age of 79. 🥳💙
A New Yorker for the past 54 years, Mildred joined NYRR Striders, a free fitness program for older adults, in 2023, and quickly grew to love it❤️✊🏾❤️✊🏾
Killing three dozen elementary school children with an AR gets "thoughts and prayers," but vandalizing a Tesla is "domestic terrorism?"
This country is broken
Karoline Leavitt is trying to gaslight the American public.
Judge Boasberg was appointed by George W. Bush in 2002.
He was elevated by President Obama in 2011 and was confirmed 96-0, with every Republican supporting his elevation to the federal bench.
I'm sorry but the world's wealthiest individual leveraging their wealth for political influence and power cannot claim victimhood when the inevitable backlash engulfs his business interests. The narcissistic entitlement here is off the charts.
Trump is moving us to authoritarianism. He sues media he doesn’t like and calls CNN “illegal.” He usurps the constitutional powers of Congress. Now he’s calling for the impeachment of judges whose decisions he dislikes.
Hey, Mr. President. Turn off FOX & read the Constitution.
