Anna’s Artitude

When people get all spun up saying, "Tr*mp is escalating. Things are about to get much worse!!!" No shit. He's using a predictable playbook. None of this should be a surprise. Which is why we organize to stop it. It's a race, y'all. Pick up the pace and we can win it.

What he said: 💯 🎯

Trump just ordered the Pentagon to resume nuclear weapons testing, a move that could reignite a dangerous global arms race.

He's also furloughed nearly all federal workers responsible for overseeing and safeguarding America's nuclear stockpile.

Hello?

The royal family have known what Andrew is for decades and have been fine with it, so long as it didn't make them look bad.

This is a punishment for being indiscreet enough to be found out, not for what he did.

Abused girls only matter to Charles for the discomfort their suffering may cause him.

When a government refuses to pause its raids even for one night — not for children, not for families, not for Halloween — it’s no longer about safety. It’s about fear.

America can do better than this… 🤬

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Cost to fund SNAP and keep 42 million people from starving:

$100 billion

Cost of lost revenue due to tax cuts for the richest Americans in the top 1%:

$100 billion

One is decried as "welfare." One is not.

Why?

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics.

It is the root of our dysfunction.

I canceled and uninstalled Spotify a couple of months ago. I now use quboz. Easily transfer playlists using soundiiz and quboz pays its artists.

Forget the polls. Take nothing for granted. And let's work our hearts out these next seven days.

Somebody is keeping the Receipts...🤔👍

YouTube video by Parkrose Permaculture You need to hear what Chicago is doing to fight back against ICE. And then copy it.

Mass civil resistance. Chicago knows how to do it. They're teaching Portland. And beyond. New resistance strategies emerge organically. So be open to new ideas. Be adaptive. Build a whistle brigade. Here's how:

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.

Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

Early voting in the NYC mayoral election begins TODAY.

If you're a New Yorker, I urge you to vote for Zohran Mamdani — the only candidate who will stand up to the oligarchy and fight for working people.

Listen to his inspiring words from primary night.

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?

👍

Early voting starts tomorrow in New York City. I hope people who live there vote for Zohran Mamdani. He is the type of person we need in the Democratic party.

Trump is summarily executing people suspected of being drug dealers, without providing any proof.

How close are we to Trump ordering the execution of Americans he considers opponents? https://robertreich.substack.com/p/trumps-illegal-executions

Already cancelled my subscription. Moved everything to quboz. Used soundiiz to move my playlists. Paid $5 premium for one month to do so. Quboz is the same price as Spotify and pays their artists better.

Funders of Trump's $300M ballroom and East Wing destruction include:

-Amazon
-Apple
-Coinbase
-Lockheed Martin
-Google
-Meta
-Microsoft
-Palantir
-Tobacco companies
-The Adelson family

Don't forget — they're not just buying a ballroom. They're buying Trump's favor.

Today, the White House Press Secretary told the country that this ridiculous damn ballroom is “the president’s main priority”…not reopening the government, not lowering the cost of groceries, not lowering the cost of housing, not lowering the cost of healthcare….building a ballroom

I know I’ve never believed a word that came out of his mouth ever…that applies to his administration as well. Destruction has always been the point.

They’re distracting you with talk about healthcare premiums while a dictator runs wild...snatching Americans off the streets, looting hundreds of millions, and tearing down the White House. At this rate, healthcare will be the least of America’s worries.
