AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide.
As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire.
End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

It costs roughly $40,000 to incarcerate someone for a year in Minnesota. A small stipend is a good deal for everyone.
Now study how it goes if we let them out a year early and give them $40,000 instead.

I love paying taxes and knowing they’re helping people get medical care, food, and help with housing. Do we think “Make taxes great again” could be a thing?
This left graph showing tax breaks in terms of dollar amounts vs percentages illustrates how expensive it is to cut taxes for the wealthy. Meanwhile, the small breaks given to the poorest 40% are dwarfed by cuts to social programs.
