How do those who have known oppression for so long continue to fight gaslighting at this stage? What must our lives be like before they will matter?

Around 70% of the U.S. economy depends on consumer spending. As wealth concentrates in the richest 10%, the rest of America can’t afford to buy enough to keep the economy running.
This is a huge problem — and even America’s most powerful CEOs are starting to sound the alarm.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

Oligarchy (noun):
A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.

You can’t talk about Taylor swift being mentally ill because the cult following won’t accept she’s not perfect and happy and the snarkers don’t want to feel guilty about snarking
So gross how we dehumanize people and create environments where can one can be healthy

The White House continues to make our work harder. They’ve:
✂️ Cut funding for transportation and education
👎 Effectively told families in poverty “you’re on your own”
❌ Presided over the longest government shutdown in history
🚨 Failed to act after Western Maryland was hit by a devastating storm.

I’m going to take a wild guess and say Taylor swift bought those bots and dropped that article bc the narrative went harder than she thought so she plants a story to reiterate she’s a victim.
When really she wrote an album of sensationalized double entendres and said all press is good press
