A lot of the people you see arguing against food assistance are actually on food assistance. They work at Walmart or a convenience store and think they are deserving, but others are not.
This is projection and the way that the 1% keep poor people pitted against poor people so they don’t look up.

I know we keep focusing on Colbert and Kimmel as we should, but we also need to remember there are hundreds of people who work for these shows who also just lost their jobs because of this bullshit, and most of them are probably not millionaires.

I really hope you’ll take a moment and listen to Chris Hedges, author of America: The Farewell Tour.
He gives an excellent breakdown of the difference between the Corporatists (Democrats) and the Oligarchs (Republicans).
Our choice now that the oligarchs have won?

Last week, Boston received a letter from AG Bondi threatening to prosecute officials and withhold funds unless we cooperate with carrying out mass deportations.
The US Attorney General asked for a response by today, so here it is: stop attacking our cities to hide your administration’s failures.

My great-grandfather led a team of doctors that invented chemotherapy. He’s part of the legacy of breakthroughs in medical science that saved so many lives. And now we’re going to throw away years of groundbreaking research because we put a manifestly unqualified person in charge of public health.

FYI: The reason you have to pay for school supplies is because GOP-dominated states have defunded public schools. Your taxes are going to pay for tax cuts to the wealthy, while your local school has to beg for supplies.

It's become clear that this administration is just a protracted war on anybody who's read a book without pictures in it. It's a miracle we're all still getting up and going to work every morning. The psychological drain is the point, and I'm increasingly grateful to the people who are still decent.

And per LinkedIn, he started at DOJ just 2 weeks ago…in the Consumer Protection Branch.
DOJ has many talented career attorneys.
But the gov. keeps throwing in new hires w/ little relevant experience or subject matter expertise.

1. I cannot adequately describe how unprepared the government is for this case. Abrego Garcia's six-lawyer team was there the moment the courtroom opened. They were reading and verifying documents; they were working through arguments; and they were planning. DOJ got there with two minutes to spare.
