When we say “billionaires should not exist,” what we mean is:

Instead of billionaires…
Everyone should have healthcare.
Everyone should have housing.
Everyone should have access to healthy food and clean water.

Billionaires are a policy failure.

ProPublica spoke to about 150 people who had lived in homeless encampments when cities cleared them out in “sweeps.”

We distributed notecards so people could tell us about the toll in their own words.

Israel is still throttling the aid supply to Gaza. And Britain is still supplying Israel with arms and maintaining normal diplomatic relations. The genocide continues, as does British complicity. 26 months and counting.

Their closing message to Indiana: change your maps to artificially benefit the President's political party or 'roads will not be paved' as punishment.

They are openly saying this.

It needs to be treated as importantly as "no animals were harmed during the making of this film"

Because yeah, for a time? Animals got harmed and people accepted it as a part of the process. And it was wrong.

So is this, and it needs to stop.

PSA: if you join the ellison/weiss team at CBS News, you are telling the world that you are okay with subverting journalism & bowing to Trump’s autocratic whims. No amount of money or cushy gig can make up for the fact that willingly signing on to all that is an utter disgrace.

If I attempted an insurrection & the administration after me not only failed to enact consequences but also allowed me the opportunity to come into power again I would also learn the lesson that I can do whatever the fuck I want and nobody with power will ever try to stop me.

The easiest thing for Democrats to do would be to stop confirming Trump judges, but they can’t even be bothered to do that. Just failure all the way down.

No-strings-attached, zero-means-testing, no-questions-asked cash payouts have been proven, over and over again, to be the most effective form of charity/aid going.

It gets people in housing, and it saves the state money. We know this. It's fact, not theory.
An Oregon pilot program giving cash to homeless youths sees a staggering reduction in homelessness. The program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years, and at the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.

Masked mercenaries are only able to kidnap people off our streets at random today because Democrats refused to defund ICE when they had the chance.

The same goes for the epidemic of police violence.

The movement against ICE should revitalize anti-police organizing.

Abolishing ICE is only the beginning. Have you looked at your local cops?

..

According to mappingpoliceviolence.us, police kill at least three people per day; from a meta analysis published in NYT, we now know the number could be six or even more.

An important takeaway from feds infiltrating a signal chat is that they probably did it by getting a link posted publicly & then just lurking.

We don’t need to reform ICE.
We don’t need alternatives to ICE.
We don’t need to engage in dishonest debates wondering what the U.S. would do without ICE.

ICE isn’t even 23 years old. Most adults know a world without ICE. And the billions used to fund ICE can be used to meet people’s basic needs.
