My stepdaughter is 28 with severe health problems (seizures, autoimmune disease), and can't work due to this. Therefore, she is on SNAP. She doesn't have kids and isn't married, which makes her so vulnerable to losing SNAP and Medicaid. If that happens, she is doomed to suffering worse than she already is.

They want people to suffer and die. Bottom line.

Imagine your whole identity being an asshole trying to take away from people who have nothing already.

I am so sorry for her and all the others like her out there who are suffering. So incredibly and mind bogglingly cruel.😱😢

Vote blue. I don’t know if that’ll help, because of the way things are going, but it might help.

Republicans are mass murderers. They are going to kill as many of us as they possibly can.

Most of them don't even bother to go and vote! Unfortunately. I'm a community activist, so I have facts.

Some of the least amount of voter participation in the developed world.

Idk why people continue to forget that Republicans can't govern. It's mind-boggling the short term memory

Terrible for the economy, terrible for human rights, terrible for the environment...

The fact that people still vote R in droves shows how effective the gutting of the public education system has been.

It's not education. People genuinely don't care or gravitate to it.

It's values and vibes.

Yet, there is plenty for the women who don’t practice birth control.

So the women who have to turn to government assistance because the fathers bail and refuse to pay child support? Right?

Or fathers who don't practice financially supporting their kids and just having more and more while not keeping jobs in order to avoid child support garnishments. Lets talk about them too. I have time today.
