I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

SOMEBODY EXPLAIN HOW THIS MAN STILL HAS A JOB? Brenden Cuni, the same ICE agent seen on video brandishing a rifle at the scene of the shooting in NY, where officers shot an unarmed man in front of his 5-year-old child, was also filmed kneeling on a pregnant woman in Minneapolis last December.

Medicare for All is the guarantee of healthcare from cradle to grave—without premiums, copays, or deductibles. That’s it. Pass it.

The US national debt is now over $40 trillion because of decades of Republican tax breaks for billionaires and corporations. This whole time, we could’ve instead invested in universal healthcare and childcare, boosting our economy. GOP “fiscal responsibility" is a joke.

So the USA is stealing Venezuelan oil and entrenching a new dictator in power to oppress the Venezuelan people. There needs to be a reckoning for all this.

Once you have a lot of money it becomes easier to get more money by doing nothing, which disincentivizes work. This is why all our billionaires post insane bullshit all day. If they had to work they'd be too busy to act like this, doubly benefiting society

Trump approved disaster aid requests from six red states last week. Two days later, he rejected aid requests from four blue states. Not only is he punishing states who didn’t vote for him, he’s playing politics with people’s lives. Despicable.

The US is now spending more on construction for data centers than public transportation infrastructure. Data centers contribute to higher electricity costs and air pollution —all while enriching a handful of Big Tech CEOs. Is it any wonder communities are organizing to stop them?

The tech bros gave us crypto currency that isn’t currency, artificial intelligence that isn’t intelligence, and prediction markets that are inside-trader scams. On the other hand, they have given us gigantic data centers that employ no one and destroy communities. So there’s that.

We’re told there’s no money for universal healthcare or to end hunger in this country. But somehow $200 billion more for war will likely move through Congress without question.  Not another penny for another endless war.
