While Trump appoints 13 billionaires to his cabinet and Musk, Bezos and Zuckerberg see their wealth increase by $217 billion since the election, 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, 25% of seniors live on $15g or less and millions cannot afford rent.

SAY NO TO OLIGARCHY.

Trump voter: Get rid of the illegal immigrants. They broke the law. Simple as that.

Still Trump voter: Supported elevating a man convicted of sexual assault and 34 other felony counts to our White House.

Someone make sense of this for me?

🧵🧵 Trump plans to scrap an ICE policy that restricts arrests at churches, schools and hospitals. On the church front, this would be a dramatic shift in how gov. treats religious liberty. It's also crucial to the Christian nationalist movement, and gives away the ethnonationalism driving much of it.

The long-standing policy has prevented ICE agents from arresting immigrants at so-called "sensitive locations" except under certain circumstances.

This song brings peace to my soul “The Spirit is moving over the waters of our tears / Our bodies are yearning for the joy of coming years / But the Spirit turns our empty groaning into prayer /Even now we wait in hope for what the Spirit bears / Spirit move! Keep on moving”

Who gets to define if a network is “operating in the public’s interest”?? Yikes
Brendan Carr, Trump's FCC chair pick, is signaling his intention to punish broadcasters that the incoming administration believes has been unfair to them.

He's doing something else here, too: he's discouraging broadcasters from critically covering Trump moving forward.

America now has 815 billionaires who currently hold a record $6.7 trillion in wealth.

The bottom 50% of Americans control $3.7 trillion in wealth.

When 815 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Prophetic 😩
30 years ago today, I warned that America was becoming a two-tiered society composed of a few winners and a larger group left behind, whose anger and disillusionment could be easily manipulated.

I took a lot of heat for this speech at the time. Watch and tell me if I was wrong.

I’m starting Advent a little early because I needed an extra dose of hope right now. I’m finding so much hope in the writings of @frutledge.bsky.social. Thank you for reminding me of the incredible hope we have in the midst of current darkness. 1/2
