If someone works full-time and receives SNAP, that means your taxpayer dollars are subsidizing the company's profits bc it refuses to pay them a livable wage.
This can only be said so many ways; it isn’t difficult to grasp.
Years ago - I was dating a guy I thought had real long term potential. It was the 1st relationship I had after a slew of not nice men & I was surprised by how kind, attentive & respectful he was.
When it began to get serious - he sat me down to talk about meeting his family. 🧵
MUST WATCH: This is one of those horror stories about the loathsome piece of shit that New Yorkers know all too well. Everyone knows someone who was either scammed, ripped off, or had their life devastated by Trump. 😡😡😡👇
For my birthday I asked everybody to come prepared with a PowerPoint presentation about any topic they wanted and BY GOD THEY FUCKING DELIVERED. These are just some highlights 🧵

Dear Democrats:
Many Americans (myself included) will be voting Democrat for the first time in our lives this November.
We’re not doing this because we agree with Democrats on policy; we’re doing it because we understand the need to stop Trump from destroying our Constitution.
If you see us non-Democrat Kamala supporters on Twitter espousing beliefs you disagree with, like on taxes or guns or whatever, try to let it go. Don’t be jerks. Don’t disparage and argue, expecting us to toe the Democrat line, because we won’t. We’re not Democrats. Being hostile to us will backfire and endanger our alliance.
We’ve made common cause with you in this election because our democracy faces an existential threat. We agree Trump is dangerous and we want to work with you to defeat him. Let’s be grateful for this mutual cooperation.
We can go back to arguing and being opponents after November. Until then, we have a country to save.
Oh boy. Trump’s Doral rally tonight was a doozy. Let’s recap it:
He started off by bragging about his golf course instead of apologizing for being an hour late and leaving people waiting all day under a heat advisory.
He said he didn’t know what NATO was.
He bragged that “being indicted is a lot of fun.”
He claimed “tens of thousands” of people showed up to this sad little rally. He later said “45,000 people” when it barely looked like 2k people were there.
He froze like a deer in headlights for 10 straight seconds.
He praised Laura Loomer and repeatedly called her “amazing.”
He’s mad that Kamala Harris laughs and called her “L-a-f-f-i-n’ Kamala,” proving what we already knew that bro can’t spell.
He said he wants a “no holds barred” debate without moderators this week. Essentially the two of them screaming at each other. Super dumb idea. Especially when Biden is hosting the NATO summit.
He also challenged President Biden to a golf tournament this week when President Biden is busy meeting with NATO leaders and doing his job.
He said Biden “doesn’t know what a synagogue is.”
He thinks you have to stop electric cars every hour.
He complained about the heat only 16 minutes in, when those people waited all day and he still showed up an hour late.
He said someone told him that he looks “great in a bathing suit.” Barf.
He called the fictional Hannibal Lecter “a lovely man” and compared him to immigrants.
He said migrants are “preying on everybody.”
He forgot how to say “feared” and said “field.”
He said he’d be the “greatest president that God has ever created.”
He claimed Hunter Biden is running the country.
He babbled about facelifts.
He said he was going to bring Tom Homan back into his administration, a guy who helped author Project 2025 which he claims to know nothing about.
He claimed Biden has more homes than him.
He said we’ll become “energy independent” when we already are right now.
He complained some more about the hot weather.
He asked why “sweaty” golf caddies “never touched me, never hugged me, never kissed me.”
He made fun of Chris Christie’s weight while claiming he was standing up for him. Mighty rich.
He said the U.S. is turning into “communist Cuba or socialist Venezuela.”
He struggled to pronounce some of his sycophants’ names.
He called Don Jr. “a great talent” and that he has a “great wife” even though he’s not married to Kimberly Guilfoyle.
He said how much he loves his family showing up when his wife Melania and favorite daughter Ivanka didn’t even bother going.
He said “October 7th would not have happened” if he was President.
He said Israel “had no money.”
He said “we have nuclear submarines and five warships in Cuba,” essentially calling himself a Russian.
He said Biden has abandoned Cuba when he was the one who nixed Obama’s plan to reopen trade and travel to Cuba.
He said people get “shot, mugged, raped” when visiting the Washington Monument in DC.
He said he will protect the second amendment and “innocent life” in the same breath.
He told people to “vote whenever you want.”
He played a song performed by J6 insurrectionists and people who beat up police officers.
He read his teleprompter cue to speak quickly out loud.
He said that getting rid of energy efficiency in appliances will “keep our enemies at bay.”
He called the United States of America “a third-world country” and said we’re “a joke.”
He said President Biden “isn’t legally allowed to stand trial.”
He’s claiming that the stock market is high because of MAGA winning the election in November, and that it will crash like during the Great Depression if he loses.
He said it’s “easier to get fentanyl than groceries.”
He forgot how to say the word “economy.”
He said he’d rather take money from small dollar donors instead of the wealthy.
He said they’re “going to take over our Capitol.”
He lied like he breathes.
And we all know the media won’t cover HALF of this absolute train wreck.
Ok I’m saying it. Cancel me.
Purchasing and drinking raw milk is genuinely stupid.
There are no scientifically-proven health benefits. You are paying more money for something that puts you at higher risk for dangerous bacteria. I do not respect your opinion.
I keep encountering the question "If Trump is really a wanna-be dictator, why didn't he do it during his first term? You're just fearmongering." I have three simple answers to this.
The saddest photos ever taken:
A thread 🧵
1. This photo, taken in 1993, shows a starving child being stalked by a vulture in Sudan. Kevin Carter, who won a Pulitzer Prize in 1994 for this infamous picture, died by suicide the same year at the age of 33. In his suicide note, he wrote, "I am haunted by the vivid memories... of starving or wounded children..."
this got talked about a lot when I worked on google maps.
I would personally love this feature, and it’s technically feasible.
here’s why I fought it loudly every time it came up

@canva Tried that, nothing changed and when I logged in via a diff browser it just gave me error msgs on every page. Instead of me changing everything can your tech people just look at it? Your system dies once a week for me but it usually comes back to life in 10mins…. We’re up to 40
Hey @canva
The duplicate-page button causes my whole carousel to disconnect + delete work… when I go to the help page there’s no button to report issue?
I’ve tried deleting and starting over in case it was a corrupted file but no dice. Help?
@ask_aubry He says things like ‘I remember back when you said XYZ and so I’ve been working on changing / improving that.’ And there’s actual evidence that he both understands and has done differently 👏🏻✨
@D_St0ckIey I have 5 or 6 of the same lip repair balm all around the house, a regular lip balm in my handbag, and 2 lipsticks with colour (red and peach) that I keep meaning to wear and forget. I plan to buy one more lipstick (pink) that I’ve had my eye on for ages.
If you want to know why women seem to be increasingly disinterested in relationships with men, there are thousands of clues pointing at the cause in this post and its comments.
Rape affects so many people in a profound way that alters your life forever. There is often no recourse or path to justice, and the unfairness, hideousness, and overwhelming feeling of helplessness stays with the victim forever.
It's not a fucking punchline.
Anyone who can openly make light of something, especially after seeing thousands of comments indicating the pain it is actively causing is soulless and devoid of empathy.
There are many good men, but increasingly the awful ones are loud, and not enough decent people are calling them out.
