Joyce Carol Oates
@Joyce... 17h O
So curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciatesโ€” scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend's or relative's accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. In fact he seems totally uneducated, uncultured. The poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the
"most wealthy person in the world."

Donโ€™t Stream Fascism: Cancel Spotify

It's outrageous that Spotify is running ICE ads. I'm moving to another streaming platform that doesn't profit from exploiting artists while recruiting for ICE. #CancelSpotify app.sosha.ai/s/Qbwb6xIP

Fighting for the future we want starts with voting. NJ, Va and so many cities and localities have big elections today -like NY,Boston, Cleveland and Toledo .

Please donโ€™t give away your voice. It matters. Please Vote

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

It is a choice to give Argentina a $40 billion bailout

It is a choice to use ICE in a way which terrorizes US citizens

It is a choice to tear down the East Wing of the White House and spend $350 million on a ballroom

Just as it is a choice to starve 42 million Americans by refusing to fund SNAP

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.

That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.

Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

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?

On this day in queer history (1955):

The Village Voice launched in NYC. For decades, it became a vital space for queer reporting, nightlife, politics, and cultureโ€”telling LGBTQ stories when mainstream media refused to.

โ€˜Everything Is Goneโ€™: Gazans Return Home to Find Devastation and Little Hope

Gaza has 2.2 million people. In 2 years, 10% of the population has been killed or wounded. Their entire infrastructure has been destroyed.ย 

Instead of giving more military aid to Netanyahuโ€™s extremist government, the US must work with the international community to rebuild Gaza.

Price increases for "things" under Donald Trump:

Coffee is up 26%
Baby strollers are up 25%
Beef is up 14%
School supplies are up 7%
Electricity is up 5%

Car prices are at a RECORD high.

And thanks to Republicans in Congress, health insurance premiums are about to DOUBLE.

He gives $20 Billion of OUR dollars to bailout Argentina without consulting Congress or the American people. Does that seem like the actions of a KING to you?
