Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

This is giving “he wore a brown suit” vibes, grasping at anything

Am I the only one who remembers *why* the matrix was created? Seems like this whole “data centers use too much energy” thing might be worth a closer look… 🫣

School, soccer club, and work all emailed today to show support for folks facing food insecurity and ICE threats. THIS IS NOT NORMAL!! All of this is entirely optional and we don’t have to take it. It’s not a hurricane or some weather event, it is a fabricated crisis manufactured by greed.

The average American family has ~$6000 of their taxes go to corporate subsidies and ~$100 of their taxes go to SNAP for 42 million hungry Americans.

Remember—we don't lack money to serve our neighbors in need, we lack the money needed to satisfy billionaire greed.

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

Ok then, make that chart. You want to compare the capital holdings of the US government to the total wealth of the richest n%? I bet it still shows them hoarding wealth. However you want to slice it, there is more than enough to go around. Any chart that shows that is gonna get an upvote from me

If they can borrow against it to buy Twitter they can pay taxes on it.

Republicans still think Democrats will fold and give Trump exactly what he wants. But after Saturday’s historic protests, the pressure on GOP lawmakers is becoming too big to ignore. Tell your GOP representative to get back to work and end the Trump Shutdown: act.indivisible.org/sign/funding...

You know we are in trouble when even the major news agencies can’t clarify a very specific question about things happening right here in the US. So many different reports on the amount of demolition at the WH. This is an objective fact that can be verified, why is it not clear?!

Defacing the physical space that represents decades of powerful American women and replacing it with a box in which the expectation is for women to dance. It’s not just a metaphor, it’s their entire plan.
