I was born with a plastic spoon in myyy mouth…
Four dead in Ohio…
Close to the edge, down by the river…
We rode to the levee, but the levee was dry.
The carpet crawlers, heed their callers…
Wrapped up like a deuce, another runner in the night.
Going crazy on you.

Yes, Mr. President: You’re right. We do have “the worst health care” of any major country.
Despite spending twice as much per capita, we are the only major country not to guarantee health care to all as a human right.
The solution: Medicare for All.

If you have to accept that greed is human nature and we should organise around it, you also have to accept that people begging for food wanting to set fire to trillionaires is also human nature.

The reason why Social Security will be insolvent by 2033 is because the rich don't pay their fair share into it. For a person making $175,100/year, they pay $10,918 of taxes. For a person making $100M a year, they also pay $10,918 in taxes. Abolish the Maximum tax! SS will be good until after 3000.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 91st day out of the last 103.
12 days of work in 103 days.
With full pay and benefits.
The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.
It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

We don’t have to rely on the federal government to advance a progressive agenda. Several states are taking up the baton. Here's just one example you should know about. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/a-wealth-tax-that-works

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.
UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.
Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

🚨Pasadena, Texas: ICE cut off power to a family home, broke out windows that were in the children’s room and threatened to gas the home if the adults didn’t come out.
The youngest child is 2 years old.
This happened with the assistance of local police. No warrant.

The disappearance of America’s leadership class at a time like this means that the rest of us have to be leaders. We can no longer wait to be led by those with the power and authority to lead. You must lead, I must lead, all of us must lead. We are the leaders we’ve been waiting for.

Absolutely wild the GOP is carrying water for a dude depicting himself as a king in a jet dumping poo on Americans.
Impossible to take anyone still standing by Trump seriously on any topic. Mike Johnson the “conservative Christian” is just cool with this at a values level, eh?
Mmmkay.

They are running ICE ads.
They aren't the only company, but I think we should make an example out of Spotify and do an economic boycott against companies supporting masked, armed agents terrorizing innocent Americans with impunity.
