The Greater Cleveland Food Bank lost 20 truckloads—$2 million worth—of emergency food this week due to agent orange admin cuts. That’s a MILLION POUNDS of food GONE. This is either incompetence or deliberate cruelty.

Interview: Bishop William Barber "Democrats Deserted Working Poor".
800 Americans a day "are dying from poverty".
There are 140m poor & low-wage adults in the US, "43% of our country":
30% of white ppl
60% of Black ppl
68% of Latino ppl
68% of Indigenous ppl
Everywhere a living wage was on the ballot, Dems won.
In 2024, Trump received 2-3m fewer votes than in 2020; Harris-Biden 13-14m fewer.
