Can I let you in on a little secret?

Billionaire philanthropy isn’t charity.

It’s PR to distract you from low wages, labor exploitation, and a tax system that’s rigged for the rich.

I’m still struggling with the fact that ICE “brown shirts” went to a taco shop and thought they would get served.

F that!

I’m still shocked that stories like this which come out daily still get largely ignored. The most corrupt person to ever hold any public office in US history. I will keep posting them every day and try to amplify them, even when most media doesn’t care. www.wsj.com/finance/curr...

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.

If members of the United States military are truly being paid their salaries by a private individual, the American people should know who that individual is. Now.

That’s the kind of kneejerk dismissive advice that makes me violent. Telling people to just grow their own food is tantamount to telling them to eat cake.
On Threads, the usual suspects are telling ppl about to lose SNAP benefits to just start a garden. As a gardener, I had to laugh. You need at LEAST an acre of land to feed a family of 4. Start-up costs are enormous. But yes, subsistence farming on the balcony of your rental apartment is the answer

I wonder what it's going to take for a history textbook to ever state plain the fact that a Black liberal being elected President of the United States broke this country's psyche so hard that it spent the next (at least) 8 years simultaneously schisming itself & pretending it wasn't.

Insecure incompents who get patronage jobs they're not qualified for immediately descend into paranoia about their disloyal staffs. It is an inevitable expression of their insecurity.
