"Conservatives" online tell me the Trump admin is helping people. When the facts are presented, they insist children, cancer patients and people with severe disabilities should get a job or die. I am trying to understand what kind of country they want.

When those who've had advantages since birth see someone hungry or homeless and exhausted from years of low-wage toil, they assume that person didn't work. I'm so tired of hearing about work from those who've done so little of it.

Just before walking in the Veterans' Day parade to remember those who fought fascism and stand with those who fought for democracy.

MAGA can't decide whether to be insultingly dismissive or fear-mongering about the opposition. The result is entertaining, but we're protesting fascism, so I'm busy.

When MAGA supporters saw what was in #Project2025, they didn't like it, so Trump claimed he knew nothing about it. Now look at the policy list. It's the plan. They are following it like a recipe.

If you're pretending to be a political party, bit really you're a club for #billionaires to skim the last bits of wealth off the country and the only semblence of a popular base you can scrape together is from racists and #incels, the "Nazl problem" is inevitable.

Something to keep in mind. While food pantries are needed, much of the food they provide is heavily processed and not very #healthy. When they provide #fresh #food, it is often stale and partly moldy. There are a few items in a #FoodPantry I could eat with my medical diet.

There is a plan by predatory billionaires to devolve us to the gilded age of extreme inequality and pollution, to destroy #democracy and all "collectivism" as they call it (any empathy or community feeling). Read "Democracy in Chains" by MacLean. Also: www.wilsontimes.com/columns/how-...

People have been giggling, but I find it ominous. What he means is: "The far right must win at all cost. No holds barred." Vast billionaire propaganda hasn't subdued the population. They will rig elections. They'll do whatever it takes. Be prepared.

Some good results! But Democrats will need more than just "not Trump." Let's tell them loud and clear, we want a party with a vision. And here it is. #Achievable #Realistic #Necessary

I live in a very red town, so I hear from MAGA folks. They say it's too bad we can't afford healthcare and food as a country. "Money doesn't grow on trees." They get real quiet when I mention the things frump an afford.

His supporters often say they like him because he really means what he says. Yet the media acts like every threat is an exaggeration. He says he wants to be king & kill people who criticize him. When will they believe him?

#SNAP is run by the Department of Agriculture. That's because it was originally a scheme to help #farmers--by increasing demand. Food stamps help the whole #economy, not just the #hungry people. It's like a bit "trickle-down" theory, except it actually works.

I remember how truly out of reach #healthcare was before the #ACA and I have the permanently messed up shoulder injury (which needed immediate surgery) to show for it. They want to yank back every bit of progress made.

Hunter-gatherers (what we were for most of human #history) #work only 20-30 hours per week on getting/preparing #food, #shelter and clothing. Otherwise they #play, #rest and make #art. That's what our bodies were built for. #TaxTheRich. We work extra for their profits.

We don't choose our nation, our physical bodies or the times we live in. We choose how we'll be remembered by history--passive and self-serving, aggressive and full of hate or dedicated and courageous.

MAGAs love to imply LGBTQ+ people are ped0philes and accuse peaceful progressives of the political violence. Their accusations are confessions. So when they said #NoKings protesters hate America, just translate that into English.

One small example of #greed. They'll tell you, "That's just the free market, people acting in their own self interest." But some being able to direct more money to themselves while others work multiple jobs and still can't eat is not "a free market."

No one does 300 times more #work than someone #working a full-time job. No one should be paid hundreds of times more than another. Let those with demanding jobs or good inventions be rewarded, but fairly. This isn't about spite. We don't want predators.

It's a choice the very rich make--to go on as usual, amassing more wealth, to live with maximum entertainment while giving to a few charities for good image OR to refuse to play the game, to deploy their vast resources strategically to make a healthy society.

If they can get around the constitution to do this to #immigrants (and random citizens), they can do it to political opponents, religious minorities, people with disabilities, #lgbtq people, anyone who doesn't obey.
