Emails sparked the beginning of our national nightmare.

Perhaps emails will end it.

The opulence, while parents go hungry to feed their children, is vulgar and a giant FUCK YOU to all Americans…

Traditional American politics is premised on the notion that sometimes you lose and sometimes you win and you have to deal with that.

But Trumpism is premised on the notion that any result where you don’t win is illegitimate, unlawful, fraud, criminal.

You can’t negotiate with people like that.

“There’s too many Americans on SNAP!”

Yes there are. Too many corporations refuse to pay a living wage.

Huge companyies are encouraging their employees to apply for SNAP because they don’t pay them enough to survive.

The government encourages this & then blames the poor.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.

The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.

They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.

Wanna fix fraud and abuse?

Fix that.

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

Let’s make one thing clear from the start: Charlie Kirk was the victim of a shooting in a country where he, along with other right-wing extremist influencers, have been inciting violence for years. — Kirk is neither a martyr nor a hero, he is a cause.

Just a quick note: Federalizing the D.C. National Guard is not the same thing as “martial law.” I’m not saying that makes it good, but martial law is when the military *supplants* civil government, not just doing law enforcement. Don’t credit him with more power than he has (because he’ll take it)

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.

Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.

Do not.

Harborview Medical Center in Seattle provides high-level trauma care for AK, ID, WY, & MT.

Republican health care cuts are putting a major strain on them and every hospital.
 
A rural hospital fund doesn't help Harborview or the people in Republican states who count on them.

I am Jewish and certainly not religious, however, I thank a friend of mine for sharing this. As evil takes place in this country, by people who falsely claim to be religious, this is what the Bible actually says.

Shame! Yes she got kickbacks, but she doesn’t realize that Alaskans still depend on a stable & accessible system in WA. Harborview Seattle is Alaska’s closest Level 1 facility. She may feel she is helping Alaska, but she is hurting the state that Alaskans need to function well to access vital care.
