The world's 10 richest people (nearly all from the U.S.) are collectively $500 billion richer this year thanks to growth in stocks tied to AI.

Meanwhile, data centers are sucking up communities’ water and electricity.

AI is making the rich even richer while everyone else pays the price.

An estimated 15.7 million workers use SNAP. It’s a lifeline for those in low-wage jobs.

Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.

Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps.

Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

The average US taxpayer spends $36 a year on SNAP

You know what they spend on corporate subsidies? $670

Poor and disabled people who need food are not the problem

If you’re angry about “your money” feeding people but not angry it’s giving tax cuts to the wealthy?

You’re doing their dirty work.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

While we are outraged about Trump posting pictures of his desecration of Lincoln's bedroom bathroom, let's not forget that Americans should have been more outraged about these pictures from Trump's bathroom in Florida.

Thousands of you shared heartbreaking and maddening stories with me about rising health care costs. But the fight is far from over.

If you're willing to record your story, we can make sure GOP lawmakers see and hear the direct impact of their policy failures: wintheera.myctbl.com/share-your-s...

My first slippers! Hubster asked for them, and I of course took on the challenge. Then he said, I need things on the back to pull them up.. voila! Presto chango! #crochet #fun

So the president took a dementia test, and then they administered an MRI. Where’s the media on this?

Amazon announced plans to lay off 14,000 employees as it looks to invest more in AI.

Wall Street cheered the news, sending Amazon stock prices higher.

This will boost Amazon's CEO pay and bolster Jeff Bezos's net worth, which is now $250 billion.

The system is rigged.

We're 9 months into Trump's presidency – and prices are up across the board thanks to his agenda.

Democrats are forcing a vote on the Senate floor to repeal Trump’s global tariffs.

Republicans need to grow a spine and vote yes.

This is what I know about Republicans: they don’t want us to have healthcare or food. They don’t want us educated. They think people are only worth as much as they can produce in GDP. They don’t like gay people or trans people.They treat women with disdain.

I would never vote for a Republican.

@ryanhallyall-xpost.bsky.social is the best.. and I love that he gives us Y’allbot all day too!!! #melissa #jamaica #cat5

Capitalism sucks!

Spot on: Demolishing the East Wing is a perfect metaphor for what Trump is doing to this country.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

Did you know that breast cancer risk increases after menopause due to a combination of factors including aging, which allows more time for cell mutations to accumulate, & hormonal changes? Don’t get complacent. #CheckYourBoobies

Every mention of SNAP being frozen should include this simple fact:

TRUMP is CHOOSING TO CANCEL FOOD ASSISTANCE. There are literally emergency dollars available to keep SNAP funded.

Bless Canada For Breaking Trump's Brain They’re doing the Lord’s work.

Oh, Canada! Thou hast truly broken Trump’s brain. It’s glorious! 😂

I love this!
