If someone works full-time and receives SNAP, that means your taxpayer dollars are subsidizing the company's profits bc it refuses to pay them a livable wage.
This can only be said so many ways; it isn’t difficult to grasp.
deleting later but my hot take of the day is that you can be there for your friends without expecting anything in return but you can also be sad when they dont show up for you

At least 21 people have died in ICE custody so far this year, and thousands of people are missing or unaccounted for.
If you still think this is about immigration, you should read your history books.

The oligarchy came out in full force against Zohran Mamdani's fight for a more affordable NYC.

My brother in Christ there are bread lines in the United States TODAY
cancer research defunded
