In the 1950s, we had a 92% tax rate for the rich and had the strongest middle class in the history of the world. My proposed legislation, “The Billionaire’s Bill”, brings that back, along with a wealth tax. #TaxTheRich

#MayorBrandonJohnson: We don’t have illegal aliens
Reporter: that’s the legal term
MBJ: The legal term for my people was slaves. The last thing that I’m going to do is accept that type of racist, nasty language to describe human beings.

The Trump administration has, by unlawful executive order, gutted the EPA laying off almost 10,000 workers nationally and here in Chicago.
This must end. We must protect our planet
Call.
Your.
Senators.

Democrats have only had the house, senate, and presidency 6 out of the last 35 years. All the more reason they should’ve codified roe and same sex marriage when they had power.

The Supreme Court has been called to revoke Same-Sex Marriage.

First was Roe v. Wade
Civil rights are next.
When do YOU 🫵🏾 say enough is enough?

Listen, I love a good boycott, and u definitely didn’t see me downtown unless the shop was black owned, but BUS boycotts used to last MONTHS, sometimes YEARS. A one day boycott ain’t doing a thing, sis

If you're a member of the working class, and you read Marx objectively, it's really, really hard to disagree with the basic premise that waged workers are exploited for surplus value.
Which is why the ruling class teaches us to hate Marxism from birth onward.

We’ve normalized working 40+ hours a week just to barely survive, while billionaires are literally sapping the planet’s vanishingly finite resources for their mega yacht’s private yacht. And somehow, we still blame poor people for being poor.

Uber: we can't make money if we have to follow the law
Google: we can't make money if we're not allowed to be a monopoly
Nestle: we can't make money without using slave labor
OpenAl: we can't make money if we can't steal
media: should shoplifters be executed?

Racial programming is why you think Beyoncé and Jay-Z sold their souls to the devil for their success, but Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk worked hard for theirs.
