And tomorrow families will be desperately trying to find ways to feed their kids. These people are disgusting.
Great Gatsby definitely makes sense as a party them. A book famously about greedy rich people who don’t care who they hurt.

And just so we are clear it’s never been about what this country can’t afford.
It’s about what — and who — it chooses to prioritize.

Shapiro: He rose to some prominence by writing a book about growing up in Appalachia, where there are a whole lot of people who get SNAP. He made millions of dollars off telling their stories, and then he turned his damn back on those very people he likes to write about and claim as his own.

Does anyone else find it infuriating seeing ads for Black Friday. Do big corporations really think people are going to be out Black Friday shopping this year?? In my family we are barely meeting our bills thanks to the government shutdown.
Hope you billionaires are enjoying your tax cuts.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.
Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.
Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.
But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.
Remember this.
