Let’s be clear here—Trump has the funds to ensure 42 million Americans don’t lose access to SNAP benefits on Saturday. But, they are CHOOSING to let Americans starve.
That’s why I introduced the SNAP BACK Act today—to ensure families are fed.
We will not let Americans starve.

This cartoon is by the guy that designed the DeLorean Time Machine, the Conan The Barbarian sword & title, several aliens in the cantina sequence in the first Star Wars, the guy who worked on ALIEN, DARK STAR, TOTAL RECALL, TRUE LIES, among many other movies. That guy, the legendary RON COBB!

How many times will MSM normalize this dictator before he starts with firing squads. You know all that good will toward the military? That’s going to be over if they start following the FoxNews fascist’s orders. Live ammo was used in NOLA post Katrina, they will follow them. Media “Fairness” kills.
If ever there was a time not to normalize Trump’s authoritarian fever dreams, this is it.
This should be impeachable. ‘War ravaged’ Portland? He’s insane - & insanely power hungry. The script is set - call an imaginary group a terror group and then send in the troops.

Most disabled people I’ve met have faced some form of workplace discrimination, mentioned only once in this article by an EEOC staffer. I’ve seen how blatant it gets, even for those who hire them. In the past EEOC were professional, considerate, & quick to respond. The Klantatorship changed that.
Experts tell @abbyvesoulis.bsky.social that the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission is being weaponized to serve the interests of MAGA.
That means dismissing cases about trans and nonbinary people—while transforming the agency into a “grievance apparatus for white, straight, Christian people.”
