I remember trick or treating as a kid & the streets full with kids on the evening of #Halloween in the 80's & 90's. Now in #Chicago our Gov asked the Feds to stop raiding our communities as to not terrorize little kids on what is a family friendly holiday & they refused. WTF tinyurl.com/2hz9pk75

The top three things Jesus was on about were feeding the hungry, healing the sick, and welcoming the stranger. Rich men have convinced so-called Christians to starve the hungry, gut health care, and deport the stranger to enrich themselves. It’s astoundingly anti-Christ.

An estimated 15.7 million workers use SNAP. It’s a lifeline for those in low-wage jobs.
Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.
Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps.
Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

WOW: The White House says the president's MAIN PRIORITY is his BALLROOM. SNAP is ending. Subsidies for health care are gong to double and in some instances quadruple plan premiums. The government is shut down. The cost of living is through the roof. And his priority is his ballroom.

The same rules apply for ICE agents visiting your home as vampires.
If ICE or Border Patrol comes to your home or business or place of work or school: Do not admit them unless the warrant is for your specific address and is signed by a judge--not by anyone except a judge.
