Are all the students that get help colored? Because I have white friends and not white friends and just based on color the non writes get more scholarships 🤔🤔🤔 Fact, not racism. But that's in NV.... 🤔 CA may be different... Or not...

We also let homeless people poop in the streets because we’re the best state ever.

California isn’t leading anything but homelessness and illegal immigration.... also taxing their residents into the Stone Age.

Julian Castro calls proposed food stamp changes 'cruel, stupid, wrong direction'2020 presidential candidate Julián Castro called the Trump administration's proposed rule changes to food stamp programs 'the wrong direction' to end hunger issues in the United States.
