Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

I sat down with 20 undecided Texas voters on @jubileemedia.bsky.social’s Surrounded. One of them brought up “welfare queens” so I told him the truth: The biggest welfare queens in this country are the giant corporations that don’t pay a penny in federal taxes.

When I was a little girl, we used to play in the cemetery by my house. I used to love looking at the little angel and lambs on the markers in the oldest area. I remember showing them to my mother and she gently explained they were children who died before we had vaccines.
