Instead of funneling endless amounts of money into our bloated Pentagon budget while thousands of veterans face homelessness and hunger, let’s use those funds to truly take care of our veterans — ensuring every one has a home, food, and access to medical and mental health care.

Masterplan?
At some point, the federal government taking everyone else's money and giving nothing back will result in the dissolution of the nation. States have to have a reason to participate.

OK folks, here's the deal. Spotify is running ICE recruitment ads and has ignored asks to stop. It's time to tell them we won't stream fascism - by cancelling our subscriptions. Here's how to get started: indivisible.org/cancel-spotify

Hate the playas AND the game
Amazon's plan to replace 600,000 workers with AI and robots could save it $10 billion on top of billions more in tax breaks.
Today, I demanded answers from Jeff Bezos: Will you simply dump these workers out on the street, or will you treat them with the dignity they deserve?

The thing is, we all see now that the U.S. Constitution was incapable of preventing autocracy, as has been the case for so many countries that patterned their governments after ours.
