Just a thought: the AOC/Bernie/Fight the Oligarchy tour really needs to make its way down South to the deep red “confederate states,” as a Threads user suggested. pointed out. These states might be seen as a lost cause, but they should take a cue from Jimmy Carter’s legacy. 1/4

The administration promised a second “Golden” (Gilded) Age. Is this part of the robber barons’ scheme to push out competition and public infrastructure advances? 🧐 Posting here because I’m pretty sure it was shadow banned on Threads. #siemens #augustínescobar #highspeedrail

The GOP passed a budget resolution tonight that will gut Medicaid, SNAP, and other vital programs — as 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. Why? To finance more tax cuts for the top 1%. We have socialism in this country for the rich, harsh capitalism for everyone else.

ER visit in Alta, Norway as a tourist from the US. Paid at the self-serve checkout kiosk. Total cost 562 NOK, or just under 50 USD for the entire visit. In the US, that may cover the Tylenol they give you before sending you a 5 figure bill. #healthcarereform #americanhealthcare #medicareforall

This is what happened when the USSR collapsed. The government broke. The only actors left were oligarchs. And bit by bit they bought the valuable assets of the government - industry etc. became oligarchs & made Putin king. It’s a hostile takeover, business usurping government & democracy. Fascism.

Today, representatives of the Agency's front office and DOGE instructed me to violate the due process of our employees by issuing immediate termination notices to a group of employees without due process. I refused and have provided Acting Administrator Gray with written notification of my refusal. I have recommended in that written notification that his office cease ar desist from further illegal activity.
It is and has always been my office's commitment to the workforce that we ensure all employees receive their due process in any of our actions. I will not be party to a violation of that commitment.
I was notified moments ago that I will be placed on administrative leave, effective immediately. It has been an honor working with all of you at this Agency, which i treasure.
Please be kind and considerate of my staff at hctm.eir@usaid.gov. who will be very short-staffed and pressed over the coming months. Until you hear otherwise, Kirsten Gunsolus will be acting in my absence.
If you would like to stay in touch, I can be reached a

Today, Pres. Trump gave a sweeping legal reprieve to nearly 1,600 defendants who attacked the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, including those convicted of violent crimes & seditious conspiracy. More than 150 police officers were assaulted during that attack. Some eventually died.

I used to watch Hoarders on A&E. The show aimed to make you pity the person with the hoarding problem or worry for their mental wellbeing. But if someone grossly hoards billions in wealth, they’re admired, revered, or even idolized as tycoons. Why is that? #wealthinequality #hoarders #billionaires
