It’s a real shame that men are so afraid of strong smart women & that they’re in control of their women. We could have been better than we are today. The DOW is down 2000 points. There goes your retirement unless musk stole it first!
True 🙏🤣
She's a smart woman. Someday, she'll be ready to be president, assuming there's still a US.
This is true.
I think we're about to see a massive investment in AI, Robotics & automation.
What a shame, all those robots making stuff, and nobody is buying it. BOYCOTTS WORK! Just look at Tesla.
Who needs them?

Speaking of gold, has anyone bothered to check Fort Knox since shitler and muskrat went on a tour?
I mean, is it really stealing, if the majority of gold in Fort Knox was already stolen from countries we've invaded in the past several decades?
Point taken. But would you rather have it in their pocket?
If I wanted to live in North Korea I would’ve moved there.
Of course now with Trump, Musk & the MAGA GOP you don’t have to move.
And as a reminder, billionaires don’t create jobs either. Customers do. So the bigger the middle class is, the better for all businesses.
Slogans won't liberate us
It’s really, really, easy…

Except for the fact that billionaires believe that the working class is approaching obsolescence.

Why collapse the economy?

Why decimate the CDC, NIH, USAID, etc.?

They have no use for the elderly, disabled, etc., already. Soon they will have no use for most of us.

Stand & fight.

Exactly. AI and robots will raise their food and if possible do everything else.
I know we are expecting a big turnout, but I so very much hope that it is HUGE. I hope we get 12 million in the streets. That might make a difference.
This, yes!
“Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration.” - Abraham Lincoln, First Annual Message to Congress, December 3, 1861
That's right, let's show them who really holds the power! Show up April 5 - https://HandsOff2025.com

AND SIGN to join the Nationwide strike! When enough people sign, we go on strike as a nation and our government will have to listen. We are stronger when we work as one.
It looks like Kendrick ushered in the Petty Era just in time. His relentless dog-walking of Drake has served as the perfect model for the people’s repudiation of the Ketamine Kowboy Klown. Turns out we hate Elon just as passionately as we hate Drake

Rich people are the parasites that leach off on the labours of their workers. They are all the same.

Distribute the wealth now!

Bring in UBI now!

So damn right, AOC!
Let's all go on a nationwide strike.
I 💙 AOC 🇺🇸
Exactly. Who said that Marxism is dead? Quite contrary. Labor vs capital confrontation is more tense than ever. Doesn't matter, labor lives in the industrial revolution slums, or post IR bungalows with 2 car garages. It is still The Labor and is still being exploited.
But they are symbiotic.

Businesses need capital and wages.

What is more needed is balance.
AOC! And we need this message to get through
That is so true the billionaires need the gratitude unwashed to make able to wash and look nice while we the working class look like what labor says the great unwashed . Remember people there only to classes in the world billionaires or working class if not the first your second one .....
I wonder how long it would take to cook a billionaire to make them palatable?
We are the economy. We have the power!!!
The working class in the USA has been trained (Econ 101?) to suppose it does need billionaires and without them they would have no jobs, the economy would cease to function, no one of "merit" could develop new products or delivery methods, no one of "merit" would dominate and control our government.
Billionaires are stealing our way of livelihood 🤬
Vote these Millionaire & Billionaire OUT OF OFFICE! #VOTEBLUE
I hear that!
Truer words were never spoken!
👏👏👏💪💪💪👍
3,028 of those f*ckers!
Who were the necessary people during covid? Answer: workers . . . Healthcare workers, delivery people, truck drivers waste removers, caretakers, service people in general. Billionaires ... not on the list.
Absolutely the truth.
This 👇 boycott all oligarchs, I've been since January and I'm alive. Shop local so the money stays local

Not sure that is sufficient. One CEO of a health insurance company was removed and yet the Billionaires are still doing the Nasty.

May require Several billionaires to be removed before the rest stop doing their nasty business.

EUR: take note! Block Google, Amazon, and Facebook - Insta - Whatsapp. Call it, national security, cause it kinda is!
AOC sings a sweet song.
No one ever "earned" a billion dollars. No one.
BuT aLL ThaT iNnOVaTiON
And disenfranchized former Democrats need candidates, remotely resembling ACTUAL Democrats instead of Weimar Republicans United Democracy/ Lincoln Project kleptocrats Israel ALLOWS us to lote in to feed upon us, spew meaningless platitudes euphemized yuppie bullshit to upwardly redistribute "value?"
Enforced 30 hour work week would give labor their power back.
Been saying this all along: no workers, no "market', no sales, no company.
Dimwits with too much money
#TaxTheRich!
🎯👍💕🥊
Billionaires are prepping for AGI. They will no longer need the working class.
Where will billionaires get their money?
In the AI industry people are taking about just not needing workers at all, or even laws similar to 1984. billionaires can retreat to their by bunker and humans can be wiped out
Where will the proletariat get the money to buy the shit cranked out of those robotic factories? Will we all live in some utopia where we all have enough $ for Ferraris and live in 30 room mansions paid for by govt checks? Where will the money come from? How will it be apportioned?
I live this meme.

That is my next Vice President and then my president! Walz should get President next time. Kamala should be kicked out for non-participation. Absent on the job . With a side of sulking!
AI and robotics means that they won't need the working class any more.
Showing the Nazi traitors how much we matter on April 5
Amen!
what we really dont need are the dinosaur millionaires in our own party pushing back against aoc harder than they ever have against republicans
Quick lesson on civics while we're here...... Governments are supposed to work FOR the good of its people.
If your government does not do this, you're in a dictatorship, which isn't really governing per se.
😬🙄
Take an economics lesson from a woman who actually worked for a living!
Turns out atlas shrugged was just fiction all along.

Which is pretty obvious if you think about it for 5 seconds. People die and retire all the time. The world doesn't break.
Let’s tell em tomorrow 04/05:

We NEED more AOCs!!!!
Just about sums it up.
BOYCOTT AND RESIST. Not difficult to find alternatives.
That's right!!!

Dead on !
Billionaires at work.

If Trump’s policy works, Americans will be lining up to earn 3.00 an hour making shoes.
She knows nothing but how run her nasty mouth
When the truth hurts‼️ It’s this kind of inflammatory talk that is going to absolutely petrify the maga’s.
no what will really scare the be-jesus out of the MAGA crowd is when this is all wrapping up and we are rounding them up and kicking them out of the country. Then and only then will reality sink in.
Tariffs are effectively regressive additional taxes. Billionaires want the middle class to pay even more taxes.
The working class do not need the bourgeois. They do not need capitalism to inevitably create more billionaires either.
Maybe billionaires don't need the working class because they'll have robots and AI https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/tech-jobs-robots-are-lutnicks-vision-for-americas-manufacturing-renaissance/ar-AA1CfP1l
So they're making a leaner America that costs less by letting them die.

Workers are not the problem.
Rich people are the problem, because they didn't earn their wealth.
Dunno, seems a lot of people are addicted to social media, and still have x, fb, or ig accounts, which means they're supporting the end of America. 🇺🇸

Doesn't mean that the billionaires are needed.
Damn right!

Exactly!
Why isn't Leading the Democrats ¡
Where are they working then? Need each other.

True Statement!
In our digital age, billionaires don't need the working class. O-C may have missed supply and demand in Econ 101.

I'm putting a 75% tariff on rich people. They want my goods, let them pay through the nose.
I need an AOC. AOC does not need me…. 😞
They want to go there??? Here’s your culture war!!
Limit after-tax take home pay to $1million. Limit untaxed possessions to the personal home & automobile. Cut breaks to all who make $100,000 or more.
Not true. Now more than ever the States needs their billionaires, but I doubt they'll be there. The reason why tariffs led to recessions from what I understand is In part, the need for capital to build the factories and pay the people to produce those now expensive goods in the States.
No, but someone needs to step up to replace them.
well, we don't need billionaires... but we do need people with bigger pockets to pay us for the time we work... unless we are getting rid of housing, fuel, and food costs for good and going back to a hunter gather life style. I'm for it personally.. but not thinking most will be.
Preach it, AOC!!!
During covid lockdown, who were the essential workers?
Not the billionaires.
Billionaires employ the working classes.
If we killed all the billionaires do you seriously think we’d all be out of work?
No, you'll still have all the arsehole millionaires
Will they need us for much longer? That might be a moot question. AI and robotisation might make millions of jobs obsolete. There would be no need for workers then, as the Digital economy transforms into an AI-run one.
But we won't have any money so who'll buy products?
Truth!!
that is why there is strong push for ai and robots, to completly get rid off middle class
She needs to rephrase that as Christian Nationalists, MAGATS and Republicans worship billionaires but the rest of us normal working class don't need them 🖖
Yea... no sorry without money to finance companies there would be no jobs not surprised this kind of stupid far left rhetoric is coming from where its coming from. We need billionaires we just need to be more like Mark Cuban and less like Elon Musk.
We don't need billionaires, and a single human can never *need* a billion dollars. A *company* can be worth a billion dollars, and can *need* billions for R&D, etc. of course. What you are attempting to counter does not address the OP's statement.
What we really need is Industrial age Billionaires, Billionaires who build infrastructure to support their own corporate growth. Granted we do have them to a degree, we just do not have them on the level of Carnegie, Rockefeller, or Ford.

I mean Ford built roads to sell more cars kind of thing.
Yes we do need billionaires do you even understand just how expensive some companies even relatively small companies are to establish. I will give you we do not need Trillionaires at least not at this point in our evolution but as technology evolves we may eventually even need that.
The man at the helm does not have to be a billionaire.
All Billionaires are not evil only the ones who are never satisfied that want it all. Look at how much Bill Gates gives to support charities.
There are many very important companies out there that investors would have never loaned a single penny self financed evolution. Hell many colleges that would not even exist without the Billionaires that built them. Parks that would not exist without the Billionaires that donated the lands.
Taking you have never owned a business or if you have you have not employed many people. It is not even remotely cheap and if you want any chance for success you need the wealth to carry your operations yourself for at least 5 years for larger companies, a decade for corporations.
I was a self-employed dairy farmer until I was about 40.
As if we need 1/2 of the garbage products produced!
You have zero idea how economics work huh? Spending money creates money always has always will. Even those stupid, which ketchup is better studies create jobs which create growth with create tax revenue. Every dollar we spend creates around $3.70 in economic growth. Cutting spending is a slow death.
My good friend before he had cancer drove many famous people to Monaco and you know what he told me. It was the rich billionaire businessman that tipped him the movie stars didn't they're not equal in their morals and their ethics, and you cannot put them all in the same box.
Jay Z and Beyoncé are wonderful people for unity and support of all moral and ethical people and have love in their hearts for their family and their children and Europe. They have money you can't throw everyone in the same category. You don't know what they've been through and what they've achieved
We need everyone that is in support of moral and ethical behavior no matter what their bank account is
If we all realize that we need each other and that we're social animals that depend on each other for products and services and emotional support then it would be a better world
But, but didn't Atlas shrug or something?
LOUDER!
The only reason there's a problem here is politicians who represent their donors more than their voters. Too much dark money at work.
Conservative, Republican voters place much more ethical or moral significance on economic power, billionaires, the donor class, than they do common voters. They suppose the former wise, full of merit, moral, beloved of God; they suppose the latter a bunch of worthless commoners and peasants.
I read at least some conservative, Republican voters explained they voted for Lord Dampnut and his fascists specifically to get more Supreme Court rulings like Citizens United, to give economic power, billionaires, corporations, CEOs, Wall St., a bigger role in our political system.
You are correct.

Yet.. FUNNY THING.. that Bible trump keeps waiving around upside down SAYS almost the exact opposite.

Too bad they can't read!
Yup. Thanks to the Supreme Court, we have a country that can be bought, and no way to hold the crook responsible.
Sorry, that should have been "crooks". Not to mention the spineless enablers.
I completely agree.
🎯💕🥊
Oh but communism….
For all those “brave” Americans afraid of something they never lived… I bet it’s much better now…
Feel great yet?
Nothing trickles down but shit from the old, rich, and incontinent.
The fucking morons who lapped up that trickle-down bullshit are of the same ilk as the slackjaws who fell for the "It's my money, and I want it NOW!" commercials.
The most wealthy are the problem. No one needs more than $10,000,000 and that’s a stretch.
Only if we stand/sit/laydown/stop serving them "Together"
Maga's have to give up on self immolation
Stop electing millionaires who are protecting billionaires'

millionaires can only hope of becoming a billionaire them selves
They want us to be their slaves - UNPAID workers.
Thats why the Federal Minimum wage as never been raised since 2009.
Switch the word “Need” for “Screw” and it still works.
Short answer: absolutely right.
Longer answer: Read the relevant parts of ‘The Communist Manifesto’.
I’m not advocating a Communist revolution, just a reappraisal of the perceived relationship between the richest and poorest in the US. It’s workers who make $, not the Trumps and Musks. Strike.
The French people took their oligarchy on and won. I believe all French governments since have remembered that.
The French take no shit. In the 80s Renault got a new CEO who announced 1000s of layoffs. The union hired a hitman
THIS!☝️
BOYCOTT THE BILLIONAIRES!
@boycottamazon.bsky.social #teslatakedown 💥✊🏼
“The power of the people is greater than the people in power.”
The billionaires and their apologists offer the argument against, with the classic: "We'll leave and take our money with us!" Cool. Take what you have in the bank, but your shares are now worthless, and we own your factories, equipment, land, properties, and other assets owned by the company. Bye!

A general strike WILL destroy corporate & bankrupt billionaires

Without employees working corporate will lose lucrative contracts due to failure to supply

Corporate shares will become worthless causing billionaire investors to lose everything they've scammed from you
Billionaires are completely USELESS.
End Fucking Billionaires

End Elon

End Trump
So those of us that can, don’t go to work, use PTO, call in sick.
Unless they can replace us with AI and robots.
The Working Class built the big corporations (like Tesla) ... and, the Working Class can tear them down if they abuse their workers!! WE have the power ... not them.
Ultra dependent Sheeple have a hard time grasping this simple concept or more importantly, practicing it to where it then comes to a habit-forming less dependency mode of being.

The Billionaires want slaves. It's all about their "Great Reset". He is not only going to bankrupt the USA, he is going to default on the $31.5+ Trillion deficit. It's the only explanation for this. Then 50 GOP Billionaires will each take a US state as an individual country. There will be no USA.
If you have your labor, you do indeed need someone with the funds or goods to pay you.
Congratulations on weirdly almost sort of understanding exactly the way in you and a few hundred other million people are being exploited
If you have no capital your only asset is your labor. If there wasn't a market for labor you'd have no assets.
It is supposed to be symbiotic in nature by determining your worth based on the need for your skills and their availability.
Just waiting for the illogical arguments to pin this on Biden or Hillary’s email server.
Not for long, Elon has designed AI robots to replace us. He himself said they will outnumber humans worldwide by 2030. They build themselves so the number increases very rapidly. Remember all the drone activity? Any ideas on how that might fit in?
MAGA are funny, they insist that “whites” are dying out and need to reproduce more, and yet not only do they demand that women stay in the kitchen, forcing the burden on men’s paychecks, but now they just told us to take all our hopes of financial security and stick it. They have no plan.
Yes! Who will harvest food sun up to sun down, work nights,clean houses and hotels, work fast-food, for $7 hour? The workers pay their taxes contributing to next year's budget. No work, zero tax contribution.
They are economic parasites taking the working class $$ and trickling it down to their offshore accounts. Now, our precious billionaires need $trillions in tax”relief” when the parasites pay meager taxes to the country in the first place. 😏
Love this woman. She is a true leader.
👍
This is the exact reason that Elon and others are so busy perfecting robots.
Robots are currently working in manufacturing and food preparation/service as well as food production/processing.
Human observers will greatly reduce the workforce.
💯
Unfortunately not gay BUT God I love this women.
Let's begin ridding America of the GOP pestilence.

One way (courts, ballots)...

...or the other (messy).

That's basically the Motto of the Green Party, People's Party and Democratic Socialists of America. If your Dem or Repub, please change your Party to 3rd Party. I hope the Green Party can join forces with these other 2 Parties and create a consensus and a genuine Liberal Coalition. Stronger together
All political parties should be banned, and corporate sponsorships outlawed.
You sound like an Anarchist.
ABSOLUTELY!
Love me some AOC
Facts
One basic fact that most people forget, is that the survival of all small businesses, and large corporations, REQUIRE never ending customers.
AMEN!!! AMEN!! Say it louder for the "people" in the back!
Let's bring back bastille day.
I’m tired of paying for their tax breaks. I like my taxes to go to people that actually need it.
Demand New Elections.
