We’re building the networks, the resources, the connections, alongside over 12,000 coalition members. We need your insights & help to get the word out about this movement. When we’ve met our first goal (Phase 1), we craft specific demands. When we hit 11 million, we strike. #uspolitics #strike

Exactly. Compromise is not a virtue in and of itself.
It's really dangerous right now to be idolizing compromise.
Compromise with a Nazi just makes you a Nazi.

Our current health care system is not designed to provide quality care to all people.
It is designed to make huge profits for insurance & drug companies.
In that sense, the system is working very well.
But it is not working for the average American.
We need Medicare for All.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024.
You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right?
Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year.
You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

Once the cyberbarons fully occupy and effectively seize control of the Treasury and other key government agencies, it won’t be long before they relegate Trump to a rubber-walled romper room, wheeling him out for occasional bursts of what passes for charisma to humor him with the illusion of power.

All humans want to control themselves. Strong people control themselves via self-mastery.
Weak people don't have self-mastery, so they attempt to control themselves by controlling others.
Autocrats aren't strong; they're dependent & weak. They need to subvert others' freedom to feel self-control.
