In the face of overwhelm • The TRiiBE
PERSPECTIVE: We owe it to each other to reject the idea that there is nothing we can do in the face of billionaire government takeover — and to resist attempts to disorient, divide and distract us.

Let’s make history repeat itself in this case! Swing the supermajority to Blue.
Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

We pay taxes. Our money should go to feeding, caring for Americans, not making the rich even richer. Their greed will never be satiated.
Medicare for All would save $450B a year.
Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.
Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.
It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.
It’s about priorities.

This is why Americans in general aren’t benefiting from the “booming” economy.
AOC: Trump has been saying the economy is booming, but it’s really only seven tech companies. They’re driving this growth in just one sector: AI.
So the entire economic growth can be tracked down to seven companies and their AI expansion…

One key thing that we all should be remembering right now is that disordered personalities DO NOT CHANGE.
Trump will not change. Fetterman will not change. There is no way to convince or mollify Stephen Miller.
The only option is to organize to remove disordered people from power forever.

Have to admit, I can’t believe more Americans haven’t already reached the breaking point and said ENOUGH.
We are now learning how much oppression and abuse Americans will tolerate. The day will come when enough Americans will decide enough is enough and this lawless regime must be stopped. But right now too many are willing to let the lawless abuse continue.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.
