If I was on Air Force One, and I heard Trump address a female reporter as “piggy,” I’d have gotten in his face and demanded he apologize to her. Why did no one say anything to Trump? I’m pissed off about this. Have a watch.👇 open.substack.com/pub/socialco...

It costs nothing for you to share this.
For every dollar you donate to your local food pantry you’ll be providing up to 10 meals to families in need this holiday season.

Dear Dem Leaders:
Losing is NOT weakness.
QUITTING is weakness.
Not trying is weakness.
We keep saying “when we fight, we win.”
So where the fuck is our fight for TN-7?

The loss of SNAP benefits means that people are choosing between feeding themselves or feeding their pets.
Absolutely no one should have to make that choice. Let’s flood food banks & shelters with pet food & connect with corporations willing to step up—looking at Chewy

This is the facility that I and many others have been protesting. We’ve been hit, thrown, gassed, and shot with pepper bullets but none of that holds a candle to what is being done to people *in* the actual facility.
Read this thread. Don’t look away. Keep your eyes and the pressure on Broadview.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.
Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).
