Billionaires and CEOs know Trump and Republicans are gutting Medicaid and SNAP to pay for their tax cuts.
So where are the billionaires who should be saying, “Wait…don’t cut my taxes if it means kids go hungry or die from treatable cancer”?
This is why the rich are villainized by every day folks.

It's tough to refer to someone as a criminal if you've given them no due process to determine whether they're a criminal. Like if you get arrested and get a trial and are convicted of 34 felony counts. That's due process. You can call that guy a criminal.

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978?
100%? 500%?
Try 1,085%
Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

I rarely go on fb anymore but sometimes need to for work. Yesterday, I saw a post in the town fb group about inclusive bathrooms. I live in a red county in a blue state. When I tell you this thread was sick, it’s not an exaggeration. We are in 1930s Germany #transkidsexist #transkidsarekids

A federal program helped 850,000 Washington students get fresh food from local farmers. The Trump Administration canceled it.
We must prepare for the crisis that looms ahead for working families across Washington.
That starts with a balanced approach to our state budget.

I don't understand how some folks are unable to see that the illegal disappearing of people is a class issue. The wealthy and well-connected get due process. The rest of us don't. This is part of the oligarchy, not a distraction from it.
