I don’t have a problem with people getting rich.

I have a problem with HOW people get rich.

If getting rich requires exploiting people by paying starvation wages while raking in record profits every year, and then lobbying to dismantle regulations & social safety nets, that’s a strain on society.

The hatred of Greta Thunberg by a virulent core of middle-aged white men is a crystallisation of social media misogyny in general: It’s jealously combined with an inability to tolerate (or even understand) a woman in the public eye whose existence is defined by anything other than her sexuality.

Good morning and happy Sunday to everyone. Before you buy Girl Scout cookies you should know they support transgender girls and reject donations from anti-transgender organizations, so make sure you order extra boxes of the new rocky road ice cream-inspired Exploremores.

@mcuban.bsky.social, there are over 12 million year-round vacant homes & roughly 770,000+ people experiencing homelessness.

The housing crisis ~isn’t~ a lack-of-supply problem.

It’s a capitalist greed problem.

We have zero regulation prohibiting investment firms buying up single-family homes.

Housing Inventory Estimate: Vacant Housing Units Held Off the Market in the United States Housing Inventory Estimate: Vacant Housing Units Held Off the Market in the United States

And over 6 million+ vacant homes are held off market in the U.S.

Not for rent, and not for sale.

Just held off market.

Again, there are roughly 770,000+ people experiencing homelessness, and that number is increasing, year-over-year. 👇🏾

I've said this before but the United States is literally just the slogan above the gate to Auschwitz - Arbeit Macht Frei - in country form.

And we call that freedom.

One of the most effective ways to reduce the corporate hold over our government, is to boycott & divest from corporations that lobby Congress.

It’s not all-or-nothing.

Choose what you can live without.

Shop locally & reduce buying products of corporations that lobby Congress.

Start here. 👇🏾

🧑‍🌾 As we talk about another Trump farmer bailout (because of his trade war), worth remembering the government has been subsidizing farms for 100 years.

Yet they call @ZohranKMamdani a “communist” for wanting to help people with food & transportation? 🤔 usafacts.org/articles/fed...

This morning, I was hit in the face by a baton.

I’m going to have a pretty gnarly bruise but we need to remember why this is happening: Trump and ICE are rounding up our neighbors, treating them as subhuman, and shipping them off to labor camps in foreign countries. It has to end.
