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.

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

Somebody or entity
paid our troops
$130 million.
We Americans are
not allowed to know
their identity.
The Oligarchy now
owns our military too?
The funding role of
Congress is so
easily brushed aside.

He knows.

They all know.

They don't care.

I dunno about you, but I prefer presidents who fight for Americans to have affordable healthcare, housing, food etc. versus those who promote AI videos of fighter jets bombing Americans with piles of shit.

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally β€” almost certainly incomplete β€” includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents. They’ve had their necks kneeled on. They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear.

At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.

If I built a big robot that consumed 33% of my state's electricity so it could go around stealing people's art I would be arrested, and that's how you know law is a social construct.

Moskowitz: We need $30 billion to extend, obviously, these healthcare subsidies, which allow Americansβ€”Americans, not illegalβ€”Americans, citizens, to afford healthcare.

And the president’s like, β€œWe don’t have $30 billion, but I am going to send $40 billion to my dear friend in Argentina.”
