💰CHARTS: Since Reagan, the rich have gotten much richer (especially white folks) Now Republicans want to cut programs for the poor and let people at the top keep even more. A redistribution of wealth has been going from bottom to top for decades. www.cbpp.org/research/pov...

Don’t you just love how the people who wanted school open during the pandemic think we don’t need a Department of Education?

If Republicans really wanted to cut costs for families, then they wouldn’t slash the funds we use to educate and feed our kids, cut access to health care coverage, allow oil companies to pollute our air and water, and shovel even more money to defense contractors.

Demand prison time for Musk, only Congress has the legal mandate to get rid or cut USAID. Cutting off the aid will cause thousands of deaths, especially among women and children around the world. That’s called mass murder.

REP. RASKIN: “We don’t have a 4th branch of government called Elon Musk.” 🇺🇸

In plain English: Republicans in Congress plot more severe budget cuts to health care, nursing homes, and school lunches to pay for tax breaks for billionaires like Elon Musk. It sounds absurd, but it’s true.

Bird flu outbreaks are driving up egg prices for families. Now, Elon Musk wants to shut down USAID, the agency responsible for monitoring outbreaks in dozens of foreign countries. With egg prices increasing grocery bills, why halt efforts to prevent a U.S. bird flu crisis?

Call the US government today, flood the lines and apply maximum pressure. Demand they do their jobs, arrest Musk, and impeach Trump. 5 minutes, 5 calls, repeat. #3E

I’m sure that if AOC roused an angry mob of Democrats to storm the Capitol and smear their poop on the walls, Donald and the Republicans would call it the worst terrorist attack in history without a shred of irony.

The billionaires want you all to be divided to keep the heat off of them. This nightmare will all be over on the day that working people unite and realize that’s it’s YOU vs. THEM.

They're saying, "CEO Flop's not a show. It's just hours and hours of footage of real CEOs getting shot and dying outside of their annual investor meetings. There's no explanation. Just body after body getting filled with lead and hitting the pavement."

I see some folks worried about the implications for Obergefell and other civil rights decisions based on the logic being used by the conservatives in court today I think that is the wrong reason to worry - the logic doesn't matter, what matters is what they think they can get away with

Tragically, I fear this will be a natural consequence as rich get richer and poor get poorer especially as claims are denied and they lose loved ones.

WATCH: “I’ve had 0 Republican help. Not a single Republican signed on.” MEMPHIS’ Rep Cohen says his constitutional amendment to ban pardons for POTUS’ “family/staff/crimes committed for their benefit” got 0 GOP support from those suddenly very concerned.

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record. They run them bc people react to them the most. If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change. It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

Well gang, Looks like we have to fight, and defeat, a compilation of history’s greatest evils all at once. Civil War, WW2, the Cold War, greed, racism, sexism, ignorance, fascism…hell is empty and all the demons are here. Let’s fucking go.

Why is ‘radical leftist’ used as an insult? 😂 It’s radical to want people to have healthcare? Better to be a radical leftist than a radical fascist.
