“It’s literally insane that governments around the world are forcing their taxpayers to subsidise the destruction of part of humanity’s future” Al Gore on fossil fuel subsidies.
I sense a revolution coming from the working class. We are educated enough to realize we have become peasants in this Trump Kingdom. Maybe it’s the gold plated White House, planned ballroom, and parade of billionaires in the executive office that have pushed us over the edge. #NoKings #Inflation

Starbucks’ CEO makes 6,666x what the average @sbworkersunited.org barista does. It would take less than one day of sales to finalize a fair contract.

Baristas at Starbucks corporate stores nationwide are on strike to fight this corporate greed and get the fair contract they deserve.

📍Senator Fetterman had a VFIB—the leading cause of cardiac arrest—he almost died if not for his implanted defibrillator, which can cost $34,000 to over $51,000. Days ago, he also just voted with GOP to gut health insurance tax credits for millions. Hope he has a change of heart.

Let’s be clear: the hold-up isn’t on our side. This was his campaign promise—so he needs to go ahead and fulfill it. Release the files. All of them.

Today, Starbucks workers in 40+ cities began a historic ULP strike. But we’re NOT finished.

We're prepared to escalate with more stores striking if we don’t see substantial progress toward finalizing contracts that address pay, hours/staffing, and the resolution of 100s of ULPs.

The violence & cruelty that is happening, the #ICELawlessness, the deprivation of SNAP benefits (food) & health care to children & elderly & hardworking American families is happening because the President of the United States is a man that is dangerous with not one decent cell in his body!

Meanwhile, here's an example of the horrendous things found in Hillary Clinton's emails—the only story worth covering for any serious news outlet in 2016, apparently.

This email is also regarding a child who suffered abuse from a grown man.

AOC: How can we, as members of congress, Republican or Democrat, vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people? That is what this legislation does. In fact, Senator Graham said he was going to seek well over $1 million from the American people, from this.

Let’s not forget that Trump is busy pardoning pedophiles, murderers, rapists, domestic abusers, and insurrectionists, all while he oversees the creation of apartheid America.

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far.

So much work remains to be done.

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?"

1/ We might be nearing the end of the longest government shutdown in U.S. history. But even if Congress extends #ACAsubsidies, the debate in Washington is way too small. The real issue isn’t actually the subsidies, it’s how completely insane our health care system has become. 🧵

I just walked out of federal court where I pleaded NOT GUILTY to the charges against me.

I will continue to stand up to authoritarianism and call this out for what it is: a political prosecution.

(FL-D) Truth be told:

“Reopening government is not the same as fixing what got us here.”

And MAGA Republicans hellbent on destroying Obamacare IS what got us here.

Keep voting them out because our lives are not bargaining chips.
