The fact of the matter is that helping people costs money and that is just not popular with corporations that, for all practical purposes, own a vast number of congresspersons.
Get money out of politics and we can move onward and upward

If we will never be a Socialist [sic] or Communist [sic] Country [sic], then why are you giving billions of dollars to farmers to make up for losses from your stupid tariffs (SOCIALISM) and having the US government own part of Intel (COMMUNISM)?

“kitchen table issues” is so damn patronizing. like, first of all, many of us can’t afford a kitchen that will even fit a table, let alone the time to sit
around it together. why is the democratic party still operating on the assumption that the average american family lives in a 1950s sitcom?

🚨 Just a reminder that 48% of SNAP recipients work full time. 39% of SNAP recipients are kids. 20% of SNAP recipients are seniors.
If you think it's funny that those people will go hungry, then it’s YOU that is a terrible person, not them.

Former U.S. Rep. Mickey Leland (D-TX), his Chief of Staff Patrice Johnson, legislative aide Joyce Williams and counsel Hugh Johnson + nine other USAID + Ethiopian pilots in 1989 perished in a plane crash feeding people who were starving to death.
Today the US can't fund the SNAP program.
Shameful.

You may lose SNAP benefits and health insurance, but don’t worry because Trump is building a $350 million ballroom just for you because he loves you.

Nothing radicalizes me more as a right-to-repair activist than realizing it cost me HALF as much to have a bunch of fixes on my 2011 Honda that include the transmission and the steering system, as it was for my wife to get one new sideview mirror and a fan belt on her 2019 Honda.
