Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.
That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.

100% police instigated.
Remarkable.
MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful."
Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd.
Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

I was asked why as a Canadian do I care about what is happening in the 🇦🇨. I care because we have politicians in 🇨🇦 who are just itching to do the same here.
The chairman of the IDU currently sits on the Heritage Trust Fund board in AB, the current AB government is corrupt. That's why I care. #abpoli
