Billionaires have set up this game where they have everything, while workers compete for the scraps.

But what if we stopped competing. What if we worked as a team and changed the game so everyone has what they need.

This Pope slaps
“Pope Leo said in a Christmas Eve sermon on Wednesday that the story of Jesus being born in a stable because there was no room at an inn should remind Christians that refusing to help the poor & strangers today is tantamount to rejecting God himself.”

Obvious to any REAL Christian. #MerryChristmas
Pope Leo, on Christmas Eve, says denying help to poor is rejecting God
Leo has made care for immigrants and the poor key themes of his early papacy.

Mr Cuban,

I just wanted to quickly thank you. My husband has XXXX cancer, a rare gastrointestinal cancer. We are between insurance right now and when we went to pick it up we were informed it was $29,000. We were able to get it from CostPlus for $990. Thank you for saving my husband's life.

“I’ve lived here for a long time, and I’ve never seen so many police cars.”

ICE’s occupation in Memphis, the largest Black-majority city in the country, has reshaped daily life, turning grocery shopping into a mission that risks one’s family being torn apart.
I'm a veteran criminal justice reporter. I've never seen anything like ICE-occupied Memphis.

“Four detainee deaths in one week is a red-hot crisis,” said Eunice Cho, senior counsel at the @aclu.org National Prison Project. “There is no question in my mind that this represents a clear deterioration of medical care and the worsening conditions in ICE detention.”
Four ICE detainee deaths in four days spark alarm as arrests grow
At least 30 detainees have died in 2025, prompting concerns about deteriorating conditions at facilities even as the agency has received an infusion of cash from Congress.

1996. Can you imagine if they had stopped him then?
HUGE NEWS from the new Epstein files:

Records show that Maria Farmer, who worked for Epstein, filed a "child pornography" report to the FBI in 1996.

The FBI has never before acknowledged that complaint. The case went nowhere, and mass abuse followed.

They didn't, in a meaningful way, release the Epstein Files. Any outlet that says in the headline they did is engaging in journalistic malpractice.

Over no public dissents, #SCOTUS *denies* Trump administration's application for a stay in the immigration judges case (about whether the dispute should be in a district court or before the Merit Systems Protection Board).

It's the Trump administration's first real loss at #SCOTUS since April.

mass murder
Trump has now conducted 28 boat strikes, killing over 100 people.

Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it.

He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner.

This is a danger to us all.

We're still getting several hundred thousands pages of the Epstein files before midnight.

The lack of full compliance, though, is going to lead to instantaneous court actions. Dems are ready to go.
