Sid and the other billionaire bootlickers are using the culture war to distract us from our bills going up. Big Tech’s new AI data centers are a big reason why our power bills are rising

We are in an affordability crisis. Food is too expensive, farming is unaffordable, and why is this happening? Corporate monopolies have rigged the system to profit from our pain. Join our team as we fight to bust monopolies before they bankrupt us

All kids deserve adequate and healthy food. I’ve been a teacher, I know how important food is to a kid’s education/health. Not only should all kids have food, these foods should come from Texas family farmers/ranchers and coops to support our local farms

We are in an affordability crisis. Everything is too damn expensive and a lot of this is due to what I call the “monopoly markup” — monopolies cause inflation; busting them will lower it. Sign if you agree ⬇️

U.S. soybean farmers should be livid over the Argentina bailout!!!

U.S. offers "$200 billion in economic support to Argentina while that country drops its soybean export taxes to sell 20 shiploads of Argentine soybeans to China in just two days."

When I talk about busting monopolies, I mean them too. 5 corps monopolize the media. If we want a free press, we need to bust them up

We don’t need trillionaires, let alone billionaires, when over half of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.
