Pope Francis: “As long as the problems of the poor are not radically resolved by rejecting the absolute autonomy of markets & financial speculation and by attacking the structural causes of inequality, no solution will be found for the world’s problems or to any problems.”
Just months after he became the head of the Catholic Church in 2013, Pope Francis condemned the “new tyranny” of unfettered capitalism and the “idolatry of money.”
The Pope Who Decried the Savage Inequalities of Billionaire-Class Capitalism
Pope Francis, who has died at 88, fought for economic justice with a consistency that distinguished him from the elites of his time.

Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people

SpaceX supposedly enforces a zero-tolerance policy for drug use due to federal contract obligations with NASA and other agencies, which impacts security clearances and typically leads to termination.
Why SpaceX’s board ok with this?

Here’s the thing, if they are picking up folks working in the country illegally, I’m going to need to see some white guys also being arrested for employing people working illegally in the country.
Otherwise, it’s just racism.

If you haven’t figured it out yet, “people will die” is a feature, not a bug. They’ve determined a whole lot of Americans are “parasites” as they gleefully steal our data, our money, and our futures. Let’s start calling this what it is: genocide.

Wow. Avelo airlines has covered up their logo to hide the fact that they're helping with mass deportation. Avelo's customer service number is (346) 616-9500. Feel free to give them a call and tell them how you feel about them.
😲 Guys, Avelo painted their ICE jets all white! The tail number matches. How pathetic is that? 👀
