There's so much talk about SNAP and EBT. But little talk about the stories of the hungry kids who count on it and what it means to be hungry. Thank you, @readingispolitical on Instagram, for drawing attention to it through Joe's story in AND THEN, BOOM! #snap

They called our ads "VILE" and "INFLAMMATORY"—because they were true, and they worked. No one rattles the woke left like we do. And we’re just getting started. Visit our profile & follow @citizens_sanity to join us on the frontlines of the war for common sense.
