I called both of my senators to encourage them to change their votes to no on the dumb pinky promise bill. Sucks that I have to do this on a Sunday night, but here we are.

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.

No single meme has been so dangerous to American civil society as Reagan's quip "the nine most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the Government, and I'm here to help."
The truth is the U.S. federal government has been of enormous benefit to more Americans than any corporation.

I just heard an ad for an AI agent that monitors other AI agents for mistakes. What if that AI agent makes a mistake? How many monitoring AI agents do we need?
If only there was a way to have one agent take care of everything, and if they make a mistake, they know it and can rectify it. 🐢

SNAP is not the reason your taxes are high.
SNAP recipients don’t need to “just go get a job”.
Most of them work. The rest are disabled, elderly, children or caregivers.
People need & deserve assistance
Your taxes fund wars and tax cuts for the ultra rich
Be mad about that

When the parents share parents, the development process of the offspring is slowed significantly. Speak slowly and clearly and refrain from multisyllabic words if you want them to comprehend what you're saying.
Prime example of white privilege in plain sight.
Black kids get called adults to justify blame, while white adults get called “kids” to excuse their hate. They’re not boys and girls, they’re grown-ass men and women, and the receipts are in writing.
