So. Rep Crockett announced her TX campaign for US Senate.

Good.

Voters get a choice in the primary. They can research the candidates, find their positions on issues and choose.

She's getting ultra-gerrymandered out of her Rep seat, so why not take the shot.

It's a primary. Not a coliseum fight.

We shouldn’t have to debate who “deserves” food, healthcare and housing.

We should be angry that these things aren’t guaranteed to everyone.

We should be outraged that the wealthy & corporations continue to profit off the misery and suffering of others.

Whenever I see stories about Mar-a-Lago face I think about the part of the Hunger Games books where Katniss muses that don't the people in the Capitol with all of their surgeries and modifications know how grotesque they look to the rest of us?

how are those in maga still so fucking angry?

like it’s been years
they hold the white house, senate, house, supreme court…who exactly are they railing against?
they are the ones in power.

think they would have burned through their anger by now.
just seems exhausting

think this should be repurposed and celebrated.
this administration is basically giving a roadmap highlighting the news and stories they are most afraid of.

hopefully journalists will use this to help direct their investigative reporting.

ALERT 🚨

The Democrats in the House Oversight created a dashboard for the public to document any misconduct from ICE and CBP or other federal enforcement agency. These will be used to prosecute them when we regain power.

You have the right to record ICE.

You have the right to film any operation happening in public as long as you do not interfere or impede it.

Your camera is proof, but keep a safe distance. KEEP RECORDING.

we need to organize a national week of silence.

no one engage rw rage bait online.
don’t argue.
don’t correct.

let them rage into the void unacknowledged.
let them consume themselves.

sometimes silence can be more powerful than any words…

What do these corporations have in common?

Netflix
Ford
Tesla
T-Mobile
Duke Energy
DISH Network
Metlife
Dominion Energy
United States Steel

In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes.

This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

It says a lot about our country that the FBI had no interest in interviewing Brett Kavanaugh but wants to talk to Mark Kelly.

“If you were that sick you would be dead.”

“If it were that bad you would get help.”

“If you can post on social media you’re fine”.

Disabled people are constantly subjected to “if” statements from people who have no concept how bad it can get & how little help is available

Impeach, convict, remove.

And if our current leaders won’t do it, they need to step aside for people who will.

A mother of 8 was sexually abused by an ICE officer.

She went public with the abuse, and was deported the very next day.

Her lawyer says she had a stay on her deportation order

They disappeared her so she couldn’t speak out.

Silvia Reyna Mendoza deserves justice.

ICE should be abolished.

so when do you all think gop will make their final big push to secure authoritarian control?

prior to midterms to shut them down?
or closer to end of term?

it feels like the ramping of rhetoric (sedition, treason, …) & political prosecutions are to test the waters

Drug companies have hired over 500 lobbyists this year to gut the Inflation Reduction Act's drug price negotiation provisions.

They outnumber public interest advocates more than 20 to 1.

We must get money out of politics and end Big Pharma's deadly greed once and for all.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.
