Feel it in the one drop
And we'll still find time to rap
We're making the one stop
The generation gap
Now feel this drumbeat
As it beats within
Playing a rhythm
Resisting against the system
Feel it in the one drop
And we'll still find time to rap
We're making the one stop
The generation gap
Now feel this drumbeat
As it beats within
Playing a rhythm
Resisting against the system

A handful of billionaires now have unprecedented control over banking, the food we eat, our healthcare, and the information we receive.
Many are now currying favor with Trump to avoid accountability and maintain their power.
This is what oligarchy looks like.

one of the most depressing realizations in politics is the day you understand that a lot of people would legitimately prefer to spend more money to make sure nobody “undeserving” gets a benefit than to make it accessible to everyone
Universal programs + progressive taxation is so much more efficient and equitable than means testing. www.vox.com/policy/39322...
What if everyone qualified for welfare benefits?
Universal programs are much easier to administer than means-tested ones.
