As an anti-Cory Booker economist, that always votes blue, but doesn’t consider themself a Democrat. This is a move in the right direction. Doubling the standard deduction and boosting child tax credits will help the most marginalized among us.
The wealthy used to give to charity, they hoard now.
I miss being anon. An “ally” photojournalist told the feds who runs the @eyerolls accts (knowing I have a trans teen at home) and it’ll never be the same.
There are so many reasons we should be allowed to be anonymous online. Freedom of speech being just one of them
Got an anonymous account on here?
Soon, that may be illegal.
Will you stay?

“The easiest thing we could do is a general strike.
Stay home, that’s all we asking.
And I guarantee every billionaire in this country that’s gonna lose all their millions of dollars in one day — they’re gonna be at our feet…

Dictators abroad target independent press to terrorize journalists & chill the public. Trump does the same thing targeting vocal & vulnerable voices here. Thanks @the-independent.com for featuring my condemnation of ICE detaining Rodriguez: www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Epstein didn’t act alone.
His network of billionaires and celebrities used him to dodge taxes, abuse, and hoard wealth while the rest of us paid the price.
This isn’t about one man. It’s about an entire class.
Time to #DefundOligarchy
A frightening thing about the right's expansion is the spread of openly fascist messaging across an incredibly diverse online landscape. This can be seen by tracking the # “Revolt Against the Modern World,” a book written by Julius Evola in 1934. (More relevant now than when I wrote it 3/4/23.) 🧵
The White House just posted a video mixing real footage from the Iran strikes with a killstreak animation from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
