Crockett: "Down in Alabama, who's broke. Down in Louisiana, who's broke. I can go through pretty much the entire south and tell you that they're broke and rely on a lot of welfare from the government. To be perfectly honest, it is tax dollars from these big blue states...we're in the find out phase"

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath.

AOC: "I want folks at home to look at what members of Congress are invested in private prisons companies, and look at the votes on this bill. It is atrocious that people are lining their pockets with private prison profits in the name of a horrific tragedy."

It's time to watch videos.

Angela Davis, Malcom X, Fred Hampton, James Baldwin, Huey P Newton, Rev Dr MLK JR videos...

I ain't gone tell you to read -- cause we ain't got that typa time. But we missing tools and we gotta catch up.

Today and every day.

Repost if you agree! 🦋

“The refugee resettlement program is a proven, orderly, cost-effective way of offering life-saving protection to some of the most vulnerable people in the world.”

"We're not going to stand for this anymore."

This point is worth making over and over and over.

Consumers are the only ones who can take down the broligarchy.

Okay, okay, it took me a long time to join BlueSky but y'all are like 2010 Twitter over here and I just 😭😭❤️‍🩹🙏🏼
