🧵 Okay so yesterday's vote has me needing to share something. I've been tracking these 8 Democratic senators for months, and yesterday's surrender on healthcare wasn't surprising—it was predictable. Let me show you why: #Healthcare #CorporateDemocrats 1/12

**Alt Text:**
An editorial illustration depicting corporate influence in politics. Eight silhouetted political figures stand on a stage, each connected by thin golden threads to floating corporate symbols above them, including Wall Street, pharmaceutical bottles, dollar signs, and an airplane. The golden threads intertwine, showing overlapping influence. On the left, faded healthcare symbols disappear into shadow; on the right, the Pentagon building glows brightly. Below the stage, shadowed citizens raise their hands toward the figures but remain disconnected. The color palette uses deep blues and grays with golden accents, symbolizing money and power flowing from corporations through politicians while bypassing the public.

Also, we will be rebuilding climate-shattered and futureless places with our public funds long after it makes no rational sense to do so, because this "disaster industrial complex" makes more money slapping up cheap rebuilds than it would make building rugged communities in relatively safe places.

The only real solution for global migration is to solve the cause, most of this is due to the West’s poor foreign policy of conflict over conversation. The world needs a concerted effort to move towards peace, so that people feel safe to go to their homes, not flee.

What I learned patrolling for ICE in Terminal Island. The same federal facility that detained Japanese Americans in 1942 is now the staging ground for immigration raids across LA. One San Pedro resident documents what he’s seen and why history feels like it’s repeating itself.

They mean to be as insulting to Black people, as dismissive of our lives, as resistance to our status as full citizens in this country as they can be. There is no common ground to be had at the expense of our sisters & daughters’ lives and our dignity as a people. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/17/u...

Boyle: "Out from CBO, just tonight, are the distributional effects of this bill. And what does it show? The bottom 10 percent of Americans will actually be poorer as a result of this bill with the biggest benefit going to the top 1 percent."

Boyle cites CBO numbers: "For people in the bottom 1%, they will experience a 4% loss household wealth. Meanwhile, for people in the top 10%, they will see their household resources increase by 2%. It is as simple as that."

Boyle: "This is really the breaking news ... because of the size of the deficits, because of the paygo act, that would trigger sequestration of Medicare, and it would total over $500 billion. The official figure that CBO confirms is $535 billion in cuts to Medicare."

Cathartic read from @pdxeleven.bsky.social about the rise of billionaires and the eradication of empathy. "Empathy cannot exist when your entire life is built on crushing others. Billionaires not only lack empathy, they have trained themselves to suppress it & they use ours as a weapon against us."

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

I am a former incarcerated firefighter. I served in a California fire camp from 2009 to 2012. Misinformation is afire on the internet, so here are facts about the prison firefighter program, all in one place. A thread.
