A walking contradiction. I’m a good person but I’m not nice. I’m smart but forever learning. I love stimulating conversation but prefer solitude. I’m a lover but a fighter. I’m chill til I’m not.
They have the money to keep people working but the top 1% of the companies get the money and inner from the working class 😡
Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.
UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.
Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Our labour and money are more powerful than theirs. Without US, this nation screeches to a halt! Covid taught us that. STOP PARTICIPATING IN OUR OWN DEMISE. Silverlining, I’ve saved over $3000 since January 20th. Its HONESTLY super easy to just say no to overconsumption and to stay home.

THESE are the promises I want to hear.
We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.
When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

ICE threw me and other protestors to the ground on Friday because we dared to stand up for our neighbors. I’m okay, but our communities aren’t.
We can't afford apathy or inaction from our leaders right now. Abolishing ICE is a moral necessity.

Words have power. Whether written or spoken. The damage was done and there’s no putting the ink back in the pen.
The Wall Street Journal is now walking back its earlier reporting that "transgender ideology" messages were found on the shooter's ammunition.
But it's too late. That story is all around the country and the world. Most who have read it will not see the update.
Thanks, WSJ.

This is what happens when justice serves power instead of people.
Banksy’s latest piece shows a judge beating a protester. They rushed to throw up barriers to hide it.
We need this here because it looks a lot like our own Supreme Court vs. the people.

Dems don’t have power in any of the three branches of gov at the federal level. So you have to stop acting like they do. Your scale is flawed because you’re including things that are physically impossible.

Still trying to understand the Hyundai ICE raid. Supposedly a months-long investigation that... picked up people here on visas, permanent residents, and U.S. citizens?
I also haven't seen anyone charged under 8 USC §1324a for hiring undocumented employees.

TikTok has definitely been compromised. I’m on my 3rd account and just made a new page and this is in 24 hours. Both banned accounts got zero warning, just gone. I’m sure this is happening to any person not supporting this regime and its brown coats.

These folks understand that museums don’t belong to Trump; they belong to the people.
My wife & I are museum goers, and so are our kids — for art, for history, for learning.
Never once have I walked into a history museum & questioned if what I was seeing was true. Are those days coming to an end?
