I wish we could cultivate a culture where people get excited about and share the new skills they've learned more than the new stuff they've bought.

$16 billion was spent in the last election.
Enough to eradicate world hunger. Twice over.
Our elections now feel like auctions. A contest to corral the most billionaires.
Citizens United put us on the fast track to an oligarchy.
For us to find our way back, it has to be undone.

Jeffries: In our nation's history, 25% of our nation's debt was accumulated during the four years of the former president, 25%. How dare you lecture America about fiscal responsibility ever.

Don't let Republicans mislead you—it's corporate greed driving up costs, not the Biden-Harris Admin. Companies use 'economic uncertainty' as an excuse to hike prices. #CorporateGreed

Important new paper on the effect of Citizens United on democratic institutions in the US.
tl;dr Citizens United meaningfully contributed to voter suppression & gerrymandering.

If the killing of the UnitedHealth CEO has taught us one thing, its that we're maybe not as divided as we think. When 90% of people empathize with the people the CEO exploited more than with the CEO, it should tell our politicians something
Stop bowing to billionaires & actually work for the people

Again, this is why Trump and his inner circle are so hellbent in making Ukraine sign a land cessation agreement. It's a resource grab.
The primary goal of Russia's invasion of Ukraine is to steal their resources and meet its broader strategy of market monopolization and price manipulation. Ukraine holds over 110 billion tons of proven mineral reserves across 100+ resource types. It is valued between $15 - $26 trillion. #opcanary 🧵

Call me crazy, but I think Justin Sun, a Chinese national being prosecuted for fraud by the SEC, sending Trump $18 million should be a bigger story
The direct enrichment of Trump by a foreign national weeks before he takes office has merited no coverage in the NYT or Washington Post

A Chinese national, charged with fraud by the SEC, just sent Donald Trump $18 million
Chinese Crypto entrepreneur Justin Sun paid $6.2 million for a banana — sold by Sotheby's as conceptual art — and then ate it last Friday.

Biden should do medicare for all, legalize weed, ban crypto, cancel citizens united, protect privacy, enshrine healthcare and all the other stuff Trump would have to choose to turn right around and cancel.

Hold the fuck on a second, let me see if I have this straight… MAGA wants Trump to pardon the January 6th attackers, who they’re also saying were “deep state actors” on “our side” and they were “sent by Pelosi”…
