This is why we must #TaxTheWealthy. They did not ‘earn’ billions - they exploit others and hoard the wealth. The rest of society - the 99.9% of us - are worse off not better off. Tax to take back the wealth, break their power, and restore democracy to the people!!! #FightTheOligarchy

Whether it’s freaking out about the new Cracker Barrel logo or some other bogeyman, remember this: The GOP’s nonsensical culture wars are meant to distract you from corporate corruption, worker oppression, and staggering wealth inequality.

The MAGA faithful do not comprehend dependency on govt services. They believe the myth of self-sufficiency. That is, until those services are no longer available and then - holy hell do they complain about inadequate govt!! The answer is not cutting services; instead, raise taxes on the wealthy.

McMorrow: What Trump has done is weaponize us against each other, when everybody needs hospitals, good schools, and health care. It has become this battle for scarcity, when we’re the wealthiest country in the world. We should not be fighting each other for our basic needs.

Remove and replace the entire Trump administration. Remove MAGA from all levels of government. Most important, remove the oligarch's power - the billionaires who control the media, control the government, and control the economy - with wealth and income taxes. Restore democracy! #FightTheOligarchy

Wondering if you are Liberal or Progressive? Read this simple article: thisvsthat.io/liberalism-v... I find myself supporting progressivism because I believe there are critical social, economic, and climate crises for which government must take an active, leading role to address.

Liberalism and progressivism are both political ideologies that share some common values and goals, but they also have distinct differences. Liberalism emphasizes individual rights, limited government intervention, and free-market capitalism. It seeks to protect civil liberties, promote equality of opportunity, and ensure social justice through a balance of personal freedom and government regulation. On the other hand, progressivism is a more modern and evolving ideology that focuses on social and economic reforms to address systemic inequalities and promote social justice. Progressives advocate for a more active role of government in addressing social issues, such as income inequality, healthcare, and climate change. While both ideologies aim to create a fair and just society, progressivism tends to be more interventionist and transformative in its approach, while liberalism leans towards preserving individual liberties and maintaining the status quo.

“Why I call myself a democratic socialist, is the words of Dr King decades ago, 'Call it democracy or call it democratic socialism; there must be a better distribution of wealth for all of God's children in this country.' And that's what I'm focused on, is dignity and taking on income inequality."

I have seen this same post verbatim on a dozen accounts. Possibly bots. I disagree. Supporting Democrats does not require an unquestioning loyalty to incumbents. Any Democrat who is unwilling to take a stand in fierce opposition to MAGA should be replaced with someone who is willing.

Andry Romero, a young gay man, was given an asylum appointment by the U.S. Government. When he showed up to the appointment we kidnapped him and sent him to a foreign prison. I asked Secretary Noem to check if he’s alive. Her response was shameful.

Society does not need billionaires in order to thrive. In fact, the exact opposite. The needless hoarding of wealth by the few causes harm to society. Tax is the way to discourage the hoarding and to encourage keeping those resources circulating within society.

All income, regardless of the source, should be taxed equally. It is obscene for millionaires and billionaires to hoard resources while everyone else suffers the price for their greed. Tax the wealthy and break the oligarchy. Democracy belongs to the people! #FightTheOligarchy

Most people have no concept of what a billion is. Ask them, what is the difference between 1 million and 1 billion? Hint: it’s about a billion. (1 billion = 1 thousand millions, so the difference is 999 million) You won’t be a billionaire in your lifetime, so don’t worry about it. #TaxTheWealthy

This is oligarchy in action. Everyone else suffers but that’s ok, they made their millions. Lessons learned from this unfortunate time must be to eliminate all the ways the wealthy manipulate and gain from government influence. Democracy belongs to the people. Government belongs to the people.

You cannot get any more totalitarian than this. The US Dept of Justice has argued in court, once you are outside of the US in a foreign prison, the US courts no longer have jurisdiction. All the govt does is allege you’re a ‘terrorist’, next thing you know, you’re in a foreign prison with no rights.

UK billionaires added £182,000,000,000 to their wealth last year. That’s £35,000,000 every single day. Their combined wealth is £795,361,000,000. So don't let anyone tell you austerity is a “necessity”. There’s more than enough wealth to fund our NHS, public services & welfare.

This is how our government has been corrupted: 1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office. 2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor. 3) Donors make a huge profit. 4) Repeat. For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.
