The post quotes a previous post by "Martha Kelly" (@MarthaKelly3 ), which reads: "Under capitalism, itβs normal to let children go hungry, let banks force people out of their homes, let sick people die for lack of access to healthcare. But the idea that billionaires could just be less rich β not poor, not struggling, just less rich, is considered insane." The quoted post is followed by a reply from "techsiren" (@techhsiren
Just less rich. Thatβs all weβre asking.

Rep. Chuck Edwards is getting torn apart at a town hall in Asheville, NC.
βIβm a veteran & you donβt give a fuck about me. You donβt get to do this to us!β
Edwards orders veteran to be thrown out.
Weβre approaching a tipping point now. Anger across the country is going to boil over soon.
Chuck Schumer has betrayed us. Beyrayed the only power Dems have to stand against this fascist regime. Bent the knee, supporting the CR. Rubber stamping Doge & the felon.
THAT'S IT.
OUST SCHUMER.
A constituent asks GA Congressman Rich McCormick about the SAVE Act voter suppression bill that he sponsored, posing difficult hurdles for people whose current name differs from their birth name - including many married women. (Town Hall held in Roswell, GA 2/20/25)

Higher ed administrations need to recognize that these forces cannot be appeased. Theyβre at war with the value of truth itself, and their conspiracy theories say destroy you.

Upholding our treaty obligations is not optional.
I saw a video of known alcoholic Pete Hegseth drinking multiple scotches in the middle of a televised presser and started laughing so hard I began coughing as I believe we're less than 2 weeks removed from him promising never to drink a single time as Secretary of Defense and nothing matters anymore

DO NOT OPEN YOUR DOOR. ICE cannot enter your home without a warrant signed by a judge. Tell the agents to show you the warrant by sliding it under the door. NO ABRAS TU PUERTA. ICE no puede entrar a tu casa sin una orden firmada por un juez. Diles a los agentes que te muestren la orden deslizΓ‘ndola debajo de la puerta.
ASK THEM TO LEAVE. If ICE doesn't have a warrant, tell them you do not consent for them to enter your home and ask them to leave. At work, ICE cannot enter employee-only areas without permission. 2 PΓDALES QUE SE VAYAN. Si ICE no tiene una orden judicial, diles que no das tu consentimiento para que entren a tu casa y pΓdeles que se vayan. En el trabajo, ICE no puede ingresar a Γ‘reas exclusivas para empleados sin permiso.
REMAIN SILENT. You have the right to remain silent. If the agents ask you questions, tell them, "I wish to remain silent." PERMANECE EN SILENCIO. Tienes derecho a permanecer en silencio. Si los agentes te hacen preguntas, diles: "Deseo permanecer en silencio".
It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.
EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.
