In ONE year, the top 10 US billionaires' wealth increased by an average of $69,800,000,000. Each. 🤬
The only thing anyone needs even ONE billion dollars for is to dominate others. It's the 1920s all over again.

I once asked: "How many civilian Palestinian lives must be taken to 'avenge' each Israeli death?" Now I know one Israeli general's answer is 50. And it doesn't matter whether they are children.

Ex-Israeli intelligence chief said 50 Palestinians must die for every 7 October victim
‘It does not matter if they are children,’ said Aharon Haliva in recorded comments calling the death toll ‘necessary’

Make America Great | Nathan Borson | WhiteWind blog

A $45+ Billion border wall, where "In five years, a camera by the river has never captured an image of a migrant crossing into the US, even though it’s one of the few parts of the valley with shade and water." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... 🤬😖

Actually, America IS at war. Selfish billionaires are escalating the economic war they have waged against the other 99% of us since the 1980s. Translation: sacrifice "for our country" means "for the kleptocrats" who will receive the lion's share of $4T in proposed tax cuts.

the rightwing influencers are trying hard to flip the narrative to “it’s your duty to sacrifice for your country” like during WWII. except WE ARE NOT AT FUCKING WAR you walnuts.

I cannot believe, and I will keep repeating, that I cannot for the life of me understand how the fuck the Trump admin thinks that "None of you get treats! You will buy EXPENSIVE things and LIKE IT." is a good idea when you literally ran on lowering prices on day one.

USFWS and NOAA propose to redefine "harm" of endangered species to exclude habitat loss.
If I take your home, your land, and your livelihood, I have harmed you! You might find another place and occupation, but threatened and endangered wildlife have nowhere to go.

Picture of healthcare protesters in wheelchairs with caption: "$880 billion potential cuts to Meicaid under House Republicans' budget proposal.
