Take away basic needs. Provoke people to protest (hoping they will also riot or vandalize). Call in the troops. Declare a national emergency. Use this emergency as justification for suspension of the constitution and possibly stop elections. That's the game.

THIS. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

There’s money to bomb boats in Venezuela. There’s money to give $50k signing bonuses to ICE & increase their weapons budget 700% There’s $40 billion for Argentina There’s money for military vanity parades. But there’s no money for SNAP, healthcare or housing. Got it.

Let’s not forget that Republicans control the House, Senate, and White House. They can end this shutdown at any time.

Trump wants to use the Navy to build $10B worth of migrant detention camps. Let me get this straight: we "can't afford" to invest in public programs that make housing or healthcare more affordable — but we have endless funds to detain migrants and enrich defense contractors?

It's not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities. [Cartoon by Jesse Duquette]

The problem is not the poor kid who gets $6 a day in food stamps. The problem is the Walton family, worth $469 billion, & Jeff Bezos, worth $247 billion pay wages so low that their workers need food stamps. The real welfare queens are the billionaires who pay starvation wages.

Trump Org’s income in the first half of 2024 was $51 million. In the first half of 2025 it rose to $864 million. A massive percentage came from foreigners. It should be the biggest scandal in the history of American politics. But few even care. reuters.com/investigations…

The US Government wants to regulate and spy on our phone usage under the guise of "National Security".

This is a bit long, but absolutely worth watching. We're being manipulated, but not by who you may think.

Trump’s own lawyers said emergency funding must be used for nutrition assistance during a shutdown. Dept. of Agriculture just deleted that memo & is now planning to illegally cancel SNAP. Republicans are using hungry families as political leverage. It’s disgusting.

They've cut SNAP, meals on wheels, science & research, Medicare & Medicaid, Soc. Sec., Ed., world hunger aid, LIHEAP, NEA & NEH, job training & service progs, conservation, they made $195B from us in tariffs, and the national debt rose $1T dollars in 2 months ($2T since Jan.)

Billionaires convincing the middle class that the poor people are the problem‼️

😳 😡 Trump is moving to restart nuclear weapons testing!

The Trump administration firing nearly all of the Special Education workers at the Department of Education sends a clear message: They don’t believe that children with disabilities deserve an equal education. The cruelty is staggering.

Billionaires could solve homelessness and hunger in every city in America. But they won't. Instead, they buy elections to put people in power who will give them more tax breaks. Billionaires won't save us. Tax them.

For every dollar spent on SNAP, $1.80 in economic activity is generated. Meanwhile, we gave the rich billions in tax cuts 8 years ago, and the only thing we have to show for it is record billionaire wealth and unaffordable groceries, rent, and healthcare. You're being lied to.

Ya’ll are worried about Snap recipients buying cookies?! I’m worried about billionaires buying 14 year olds

Maybe this will show you why you should hate billionaires.

PAY ATTENTION: WE ARE IN DANGER!
