I don't resent poor people who use food stamps to buy another soft drink.

I resent rich people who take away the funds for food stamps to buy another yacht.

Cost to fund SNAP and keep 42 million people from starving:

$100 billion

Cost of lost revenue due to tax cuts for the richest Americans in the top 1%:

$100 billion

One is decried as "welfare." One is not.

Why?

Someone want to tell Mikey here that 86% of all SNAP benefits go to households that include a child, an elderly person, or a person with disabilities?

Or that almost 40% of SNAP recipients are children?

And that Whites account for 37% of SNAP recipients?

Did you know that over 1.3M active duty service members and veterans rely on SNAP benefits to feed themselves and their families?

Now you know.

They don’t even pretend to care. This is the only story. You can’t open the government if the House refuses to show up.

This moment requires all of us to stand up for our neighbors.

Sorry Kristi Noem - Minnesotans support our immigrant communities. You can’t divide us. We won’t abandon one another.

As Toni Morrison said, "the very serious function of racism is distraction. It keeps you from doing your work." But she also reminded us never to lose our capacity to be shocked.

Kristi Noem came to Minnesota today to spread cruelty, not solutions. Her attacks on immigrant families don’t make our state safer — they just stoke more fear, confusion, and hurt.

We will never be a state for that kind of politics.

If you pay for health insurance, you should be able to use it.

Insurance companies' prior authorization practices only cheat Minnesotans out of using benefits they pay for - and care their doctor prescribed.

Today, I'm thinking of Paul, Sheila, Marcia, Mary, Tom and Will. They were taken from us much too soon. We honor their memories by continuing to organize every day.

Paul believed that when we all do better, we all do better.

So today, stand up and keep fighting. 💚

Broadview PD instructed us to go into the “free speech zone” early. Last week, they told us to go into the street and then we got beat with batons.
