The average US taxpayer spends $36 a year on SNAP
You know what they spend on corporate subsidies? $670
Poor and disabled people who need food are not the problem
If you’re angry about “your money” feeding people but not angry it’s giving tax cuts to the wealthy?
You’re doing their dirty work.

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.

Open your eyes to this brutality.
ICE beats up, drags & abducts this disabled visually impaired man.
Now share this.
Everyone must see the brutality of this administration & ask themselves what they are doing to push back.
You have power.
Even sharing this video exerts that power.

Voters should pick their representatives, not the other way around. Glad to get the chance to talk to some of the volunteers and organizers doing the hard work to make sure Prop 50 passes. This vote will have critical implications, not just for California, but for our entire country.

The president just gathered the highest ranking officers in the military to tell them that he may order them to kill American citizens -- and that they better follow his orders. All in response to a series of crises that have no basis in reality.
