Us workers can't keep putting up with the greed of the owning class. Even professional sports in the USA, supposedly a primary example of capitalism, has strong unions, min and max salaries, and collective bargaining. Workers for these tech companies and corporations have zero
Meanwhile, CEOs make 280 times the typical worker today.

The system is rigged.

I feel like we have the opportunity to turn David Lynch's quote into this moment's "Keep Calm and Carry On" and it's a far better rallying cry too.

Both AI and ICE can get the f*ck out of here
Good morning! AI is being force-fed to you by a handful of billionaires who will lose a bunch of money if they fail to convince you that you need it. You do not need it 🫶

I don't see a lot of people talking about this, so I want to highlight something GOOD

Billie Eilish stood in a room full of billionaires and said "you're billionaires... Why?"

She donated 11.5 MILLION DOLLARS to food equity and climate orgs, which Stephen Colbert announced to said billionaires.

So Trump wants our taxes to pay for his ballroom, private jets for his staff, ICE terrorizing Americans, and now new nuclear weapons. Meanwhile cutting funding for access to food, education, and public safety. What a deal! A deal for Trump only as usual...and we are the victims of this tax fraud

Trump's approval ratings are tanking. He's flailing on the economy. He hasn't done squat to help working people. The Epstein scandal haunts him.

Remember that every authoritarian action Trump is taking must be understood against the backdrop of his declining popularity.

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics.

It is the root of our dysfunction.

Refusing to feed people while building a massive ballroom is a fast track to eat the rich. No pun intended.

The energy we need is this suburban dad standing out in the street -- barefoot with Blackhawks pajama pants on -- screaming at the masked goons to get the fuck out of their neighborhood.

the way Trump and his administration keep going on livestreams and tv to laugh about this, I can’t really compare it to anything political that comes to mind, only thing that comes to mind rn is a serial killer who writes letter taunting family of their victim.
Trump’s victims are now washing up in Trinidad:
“The U.S. campaign targeting what it says is drug trafficking from Venezuela has exposed Trinidad to the fallout: unidentified bodies with burn marks and missing limbs showing up in its territory.“

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

Trump’s govt shutdown is another reminder
•We dont have an energy shortage
•Or insulin shortage
•Or housing shortage
•Or teacher shortage
•Or labor shortage
•Or food shortage

We have billionaire excess who buy politicians to deny human rights. We dont suffer from scarcity—but from billionaire greed

He murders people in intl waters w/o due process or evidence. He demolishes our East Wing because he feels like it w/o consultation. He fuels an abusive police state to grab people off the street w/o due process. Meanwhile, billionaires & corporations keep handing him millions. They are complicit.

Your regular reminder that we desperately need to overturn Citizens United and get big money out of politics.

It is among the worst Supreme Court decisions in history.

It corrupts our political system every day.

Y’all, Spotify’s stock price sunk by 5% in 1 day. YOU did this by spreading the word to boycott them for running ICE ads.

These billionaires only speak one language—money—so let’s keep up the pressure. Tell everyone you know to cancel their Spotify subscriptions. Send them to BoycottSpotify.com.
