After abolishing the Electoral College & ending Citizen's United, nothing would be better for this country than public testimony about January 6th from Jack Smith.

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 countryโ€”more particularly, our economic strengths based on close ties to Americaโ€”have now become our vulnerabilitiesโ€ฆ

$40B for Argentina
$1B to refurbish Trump's Qatar jet
$230M for Trump's DOJ "compensation"
$200M for Kristi Noem's jets
$98M for Trump's golf outings

But no money to lower your healthcare costs.

I am trying to imagine how Democrats could possibly botch the midterms on the message

"the GOP cut children's cancer research so they could build a party room at the White House for the rich to dance in".

Thank you to the organizers of today's wildly successful (and peaceful) "No Kings" rallies. You did an amazing job. And thanks to all the millions of people who showed up to give us faith. And a special shout out to the White House regime and the Speaker of the House for all the free publicity!
