No one should be required to produce just to survive. We choose to bring people into this world. No one asked to be here. Feed, clothe, house, educate, and make sure they get healthcare. Then you can ask, “how would you like to help?”

The richest man owns X. The second richest man owns The Washington Post. The third and fifth richest men control Google. The sixth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And the eighth richest man now owns both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

At a time in history when the most influential leaders of the U.S. need to stand up loudly and clearly for the rule of law, democracy, and decency, they are leading the charge in the opposite direction — fawning over the most dangerous authoritarian America has ever witnessed. Do not forget this.

Tom Cotton has an advertisement out where he refers to immigrants as “illegals” I would like to say to Tom - you’re a racist bigot, and a monster. You only come out from under your bridge around election time and you flood the airways with fear mongering propaganda just to remind people you exist.

Sometimes all it takes is a change of perspective. Instead of saying, “I failed,” try saying, “I learned something I didn’t know before.” Not everything that goes wrong is a step backwards. Sometimes it’s simply a lesson that helps us take the next step forward.

This needs to be the default opinion. They’re a militant arm of an authoritarian regime that uses racism and xenophobia to drive their base. They should never have been a thing, and it’s horrifying that they were created under the guise of “security”

I will never understand people that know of the evils of a corporation, are vehemently against them, and yet still send them money. Boycotting was the only way I’ve ever felt like I could live with myself. My exact quote for chick-fil-a “at least they’re not hateful with MY money”

Dear Americans please for the love of god vote, and vote for the most progressive candidate that you can. The only way this gets fixed without the fix being in; is to have enough mandate to say the American people are done with the oligarch class. The class war is winding down, they are losing

The weirdest part of this whole thing, is knowing how much the media would be tearing apart ANY other politician for the things he does. This media environment is a whole lot of people trying to normalize what shouldn’t be normalized and accepting what shouldn’t be accepted. ANY other politician..

Democrats, please stop letting the republicans set the tone on conversations that come to humanitarian rights. Republicans “fear the illegals crossing the border.” The democrats in response “don’t worry we will stop illegals at the border.” First: no one can be “illegal” this is dehumanizing

Dear corporate America. We see you for who you are, you will not survive the purges coming for you. The people were supposed to come first. Not your profit, nor your bottom line. The pitchforks will come for you, and no one can make us forget your capitulation with temu Nazis.

Interesting: so apparently at least trueaccord.com doesn’t have to verify the recipient of the debt before emailing personal account information to a recipient. Three times they’ve tried to approach me with someone else’s debt: I would say do better, but they’re debt collectors: it’s not possible.

Target paid its CEO $21.8M last year — 794x the median Target worker's pay of $27,506. Target has also spent $13.9B on stock buybacks since 2019, while remaining among the largest employers of Medicaid and SNAP recipients in America. This is what I mean by a rigged economy.

It is SO blatantly obvious everything that’s happening is because both parties are owned almost entirely by AIPAC. They don’t actually believe in anything. They’re just in it for the money. They will fritter and fetterman away your whole country.

If you did a movie 10 years ago about people who had a long ago shoplifting charge ago being chased by robot dogs and masked goons with shock gloves it would have seemed a bit heavy handed on the dystopia front. And the hero would have definitely been the person who takes down that oppression.
