Without a ceiling or max cap on capitalism, the end game will always equal destruction of the entire system. As those at the top increase their capital, and need for resources, it drives the cost of resources up, making them unattainable for everyone else.

ICE just arrested a 5-year-old on his way to a soccer game in Austin. His name is Liam, just like the little boy from Minnesota. He should be in kindergarten this week. Instead he's in a trailer prison in the desert. Release Liam. Release these kids. Close the Dilley children’s prison.

The United States debt has surpassed $40 Trillion. That's more than the number of cells in the human body. You couldn't spend that much if you spent a dollar every second for a million years. The last 20+ years of government spending was beyond negligent. It's malicious.

All the gas stations where I live are rebuilding, remodeling, or getting fancy new pumps. It's almost as if they have recieved a gross influx of money as of late. Hmmm. What could it be?🤔

Please understand that Donald Trump's government doesn't make money for anybody -- it extracts it for the already wealthy.

If you love people who: * Hug Trump on his 100th day in office * Break ground with OpenAI Sam Altman on new data centers in Saline, MI * Roll over on their promises to stop #Line5 Then you are stoked for Haley Stevens. For everyone else, it's just another day with Gretchen Whitmer as governor

Get in, there’s a new secret political influence campaign paying people to post. This time, a network targeting people in Michigan. First paid to post about how hard it is to afford groceries and gas, the accounts have gone hard in recent days, supporting Haley Stevens. www.ms.now/news/haley-s...

At this point it's not even a surprise. FYI Palantir was being used for target acquisition on the same day the US military bombed an elementary school in Iran. If you're talking about electability this is the exact opposite.

Calling what we are experiencing on earth climate change is like when a house burns down but you call it "house change." We are experiencing climate collapse. Retribution must be paid by the world's billionaire elites and fossil fuel companies. The future of humanity demands justice.

Gary Peters endorsing Haley Stevens for Senate is a self-own for the ages 🤦🏼‍♂️ You know Michigan's Gary Peters because he voted to confirm Kristi Noem to shoot ICE commercials, since she had so much experience shooting animals. #michiganprimary #primaryelection #michiganpolitics

Mayor Pete's endorsement of Callie Barr is good for her campaign and good for establishment politics. If you want more of the same we've had for 40+ years, you are stooooooked 🔥 Congrats to all them. Respectfully tho, I'm looking for a better 40 years. Check out @blomquist4congress.bsky.social

There isn't a cause in the world that excuses sexual abuse. Not one. To every woman, every survivor, exhausted by watching this play out again and again, this exhaustion shouldn't be the price of simply wanting to exist.

Grassroots wins are sparking an establishment freakout. But since the Democratic Party brand is so toxic right now, working to rehabilitate that brand is just smart politics. If you want to build a better Democratic Party that fights fascism as hard as we do, there are many ways you can help. 👇
