An estimated 15.7 million workers use SNAP. It’s a lifeline for those in low-wage jobs.
Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.
Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps.
Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

I was so excited today. I thought this was an obituary — turns out I was very wrong. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

It grieves me to see people I’ve known for years (some as far back as the Jesus Movement of the 1970s) seduced by a mean-spirited culture-war Christianity that is but a perverse caricature of the authentic faith formed around Jesus of Nazareth. Yes, it grieves me terribly.

Biggest lie being told by GOP. Every time reporters ask abt the ~15 mil people losing healthcare coverage the GOP cites work requirements. But there aren’t 15 mil people on Medicaid that don’t work or qualify for an exemption. Not close. Hard-working people are going to be left w/out healthcare.

Langston Hughes wrote “Tired” in 1930, but it applies as much today as ever. Yes, I’m tired. I believe the world contains—and can and should elevate—good, beauty, and kindness. But the worms of greed, hate, and ignorance will devour it from within until we stop them. That is where my activism aims.

The current President, Donald Trump, walked into a wall yesterday when he was leaving the Capitol after speaking to the press with House Majority Leader Mike Johnson.
If we're going to bring up Biden's ability while in office, let's not leave Trump out.
