81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

40% of SNAP recipients are kids, 18% are elderly, 11% are disabled and of the rest, ~70% already have jobs. So unless your company’s hiring Junior Juice Box Interns, grandma and her walker, or knows how to fit more hours in a day, maybe cool it with the “just get a job” takes.

You should care that kids, seniors & disabled people can eat. But even if you don’t, grocers have been swallowing tariff costs for months. SNAP keeps them afloat with billions in steady spending. Cut it and prices spike while we all fight for what’s left on the shelves.

Once again, ANTIFA means Anti Facist!
It is a concept, not a group or organization.
An anti-facist is a person who doesn't want power concentrated into a person or group, like Kings/Queens or monarchs.
We want democratic rule.

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.
