Eat. The. Rich. The poor cried, “We are starving. There is no more bread, and we have nothing to eat.” The poor cried, “We are dying. There is no more medicine, and we’re all ill.” The poor people stopped crying, and the rich man was satisfied Until they came knocking at his door one night

Americans are so oppressed & manipulated that the majority actually BELIEVE that being taken care by our government is “a handout”. WRONG. It’s OUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK FOR US. Basic care is labeled “socialism” as a way to SCARE & REPEL people. WRONG. It’s just “a government by & for the people”.

SNAP has existed for 60 years. Benefits have gone out every single month over those six decades, including during government shutdowns. Until now. Make no mistake: The money is available to fund SNAP during this shutdown. Trump is making a choice to withhold it. Don’t forget this.

🥳🥳🥳 PA!!! WoooWhooo!

BREAKING: All three PA Supreme Court Justices will RETAIN their seats!! www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

BREAKING: MAMDANI HAS WON according to Decision Desk

This is an excellent idea!!!

Tomorrow is a big day. The resistance has been nothing short of historic volunteers across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Virginia, New York, and California have shown up in record numbers. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. You’re making history and remember, tomorrow there will be more of us.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion. Read that back. When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

MASS BLACKOUT. NOV 25 thru DEC 2.

If you have sick days or vacation days plan accordingly and quickly. This blackout is 7 days. Shop ahead. Don’t buy anything that isn’t local and small business. People will be stopping labor if they can (vacation/sick days). And stopping shopping. An economic blackout for one week.

⭐️Mass Blackout Nov. 25 - Dec. 2nd⭐️ Support small, support local.

MASS BLACKOUT😳

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice. This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

Pennsylvania has an important Supreme Court race coming up on Tuesday, November 4. If you live in the Keystone State, or know someone who does, vote YES to retain three justices who will protect your fundamental rights and freedoms.

You’ve probably heard but I have been federally indicted by Trump’s DOJ. We now have to cover the costs of a campaign *and* a legal battle to preserve our First Amendment rights. Help us win this fight by chipping in at katforillinois.com/legal

I know I'm probably built different, but if there are people "taking advantage" of social safety nets - oh well. Motherfuckers worried that someone MIGHT be getting a few hundred dollars a month to spend on food but have no problem with rich people avoiding taxes. Fuck you.

ICE is struggling to hire officers — even after lowering its standards. DHS is spending millions of dollars on an aggressive television ad campaign targeting local police officers — but it's not getting nearly enough applicants. It looks like most Americans simply don’t want to be ICE thugs.

This is your Tuesday reminder that the US Department of Agriculture has a $6 BILLION contingency fund it can use for SNAP. Our government COULD help feed its citizens this November. They are CHOOSING not to.

“Dysfunctional government” doesn’t even begin to describe this. 1.4 million civilian federal employees didn’t get a paycheck. And the part no one’s talking about: even if the government reopens tomorrow, we’ll be right back on the edge by November 21—the next shutdown deadline. Chaos on repeat.

As a chronically ill person, if I can’t afford healthcare…my quality of life will become unlivable.

Our new health insurance premium feels more like a shakedown‼️ Thank you, @politicsgirl.bsky.social , for sharing your story. You’re right—there are millions like you. Our new premium is over $3K/month for a family of three. Could we scrape it together? Maybe. Should we have to? No. 1/2

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP. Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP. The people who need help are not the problem. It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

I have a very bad feeling about this...

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 84th day out of the last 96. 12 days of work in over 3 months. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Kind-hearted #BlueJays fan gives young Yankees fan the Judge home run ball he caught. That’s us….just spreading joy wherever we go. 😂 That is why he hates us so much, we are the antithesis of him. 🇨🇦 #Canada

In an interview with The Economist, Steve Bannon claimed that there was “a plan” to get around the 22nd Amendment, the constitutional limit that bars anyone from being elected president more than twice. He added that he was involved with a group working on that plan.

SNAP benefits are about to expire for millions. Health insurance costs are about to skyrocket for millions. Food prices are rising. The government has been shut down for 25 days. What is Trump focused on? Tearing down a section of the White House to make way for a billionaire-funded ballroom.

A Christianity that causes the hungry to go without food, the sick to go without healthcare, the stranger to be mistreated, and God’s creation to be ravaged, all while the greedy and cruel satisfy their every desire, is a Christianity that can no longer claim to follow Christ.

The Epstein Ballroom is Trump’s Death Star.

like a toy chihuahua barking at me from a tiny purse, that’s how much it hurts spotify.link/5CtPfZuWJXb

“According to a 2019 USDA report, every dollar in new SNAP benefits increases GDP by $1.50 in a weak economy.” “SNAP benefits are one of the fastest, most effective forms of economic stimulus because they get money into the economy quickly during a recession.” ~Center for Budget and Policy

Your regular reminder that we desperately need to overturn Citizens United and get big money out of politics. It is among the worst Supreme Court decisions in history. It corrupts our political system every day.

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube. Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X). *1981 Sherrilyn horrified by 2025 Sherrilyn saying “let’s post Reagan’s speech.” youtu.be/5t5QK03KXPc

I finished Virginia Roberts Giuffre's memoir and have only one thing to say: Release the Epstein files. Every man who abused a trafficked girl needs to be named, shamed and shunned, since it doesn't look like they're being prosecuted.

“If the West Wing is the mind of the nation, then the East Wing is the heart.” - former First Lady Betty Ford The East Wing is gone. Over a century of American history, reduced to rubble. All to appease the vanity of a corrupt authoritarian.

ABC News pulled the satellite imagery of the White House comparing Sept. 26 to today. abcnews.go.com/Politics/new...

The Constitution is not self-enforcing. The only thing holding our Republic together are our norms. And the only thing that enforces those norms is The People. No one is coming to save us. It's entirely up to us.

Eagerly awaiting the day we turn that ballroom into a community center, or a free health clinic!!!

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase. The President is building an army to attack his own country.

Some more helpful images…

In case anyone is curious…

The White House DOESN’T want these pictures shared…
