REV. BLACK (who was shot in the head with a pepper ball): “If this is what they’re doing to pastors, journalists, teachers, mothers, and the elderly gathered to sing and pray outside ICE facilities… what might they be doing to our neighbors who are behind those walls?”

Venezuela has the largest proven oil reserves in the world.

Trump says he’s protecting the world from Venezuela’s “dark underbelly.”

What he’s really protecting is oil and the billionaires who profit from it.👇

Some real nebulous Biden problems, unknown to all of us simple folk, only known by the secret ruling class.

The 800 billion in cuts to Medicaid that Republicans passed in July without a single Democrat vote? What did you say? That must be a hideous lie foisted by the liberals.

@katmabu.bsky.social has put herself on the line to protect our communities from ICE and now she’s being prosecuted for daring to dissent.

We’re proud to stand with Kat and the rest of the “Broadview Six” against these trumped-up charges. And we’re proud to support Kat for Congress.

Cost to fund SNAP and keep 42 million people from starving:

$100 billion

Cost of lost revenue due to tax cuts for the richest Americans in the top 1%:

$100 billion

One is decried as "welfare." One is not.

Why?

In Portland, Oregon, masked ICE GOONS abducted and vanished US citizen Gonzalo Catalan last week. Tragically, his family remains unaware of his whereabouts and has not received any communication from him as of today.

Some things do not benefit not improve from the profit motive at the heart of capitalism. Healthcare and education are two such things. Give me the socialist version!

As long as this nation continues to denigrate and humiliate Spanish speaking people, black people, and all non-whites, as long as this nation deploys ICE and grabs us off the streets,

Speak out. Spend little. Vote. Write Congress.

We stop tyranny by being too difficult to manage.

Carney: But this decades-long process of an ever-closer economic relationship with the United States is now over. And as a consequence, many of our former strengths as a country—more particularly, our economic strengths based on close ties to America—have now become our vulnerabilities…
