One of the unacknowledged advantages of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power.

The intentions of the oligarchs are fully exposed and more blatant than ever.

But remember: We outnumber the oligarchs.

With Zohran Mamdani's inspiring victory, Republicans are yet again fearmongering about "socialism."

But conservatives always yell โ€œsocialismโ€ at every initiative designed to help people.

It's nothing more than an old scare tactic. https://youtu.be/xq02yuY4wDQ?si=akvbkf8GSClBEHLt

Contrast this with the video I just posted of Americans standing in food lines this weekend, in the rain and cold.

Don't have to wonder where the SNAP funds are.

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.

๐ŸšจPasadena, Texas: ICE cut off power to a family home, broke out windows that were in the childrenโ€™s room and threatened to gas the home if the adults didnโ€™t come out.

The youngest child is 2 years old.

This happened with the assistance of local police. No warrant.

Trump is self destructing. His polls are dropping and he refuses to see it. He lives in a bubble that his people keep him in for their own benefit. He is loosing his supporters. People are starting to feel pain. People want change when they feel pain. Americans are raising up and will not stop.

Trump has the power to find the funds for November SNAP. He chooses not to. He can come up with the money for his personal projects. He doesnโ€™t care about anyone but himself and his wealthy donors. Poor Americans are a loss in his mind. After he gets their vote they are on their own.

Trump supporters will never see the inside of his ballroom but they will see the inside of the food stamp & unemployment office. Stay humble!

Just checking: the republicans that attacked and sent marshals to arrest Texas dems for not showing up to work (in an effort to protect voting rights, btw) are the same republicans that are not showing up to work, yeah?

All this talk of Trump running for a 3rd term is ridiculous. I donโ€™t think he wants this. Heโ€™s people are pushing this because of his base. This man will be lucky to finish his second term. He is sick and tired. He is mentally failing. He is down in the polls. His time has passed. The parties over.

Trump is giving 40 billion to Argentina a country that most Americans will never go there or have any interest in. Trump is spending 350 million on a White House ballroom that most Americans will never step foot in. I am not ok with this. Take care of the people first.
