I want to live in a world where free speech is not squelched by arbitrary censorious practices, because it runs counter to your narrative. “All animals are equal, some are just more ‘equal’ than others.”
AOC, @aoc.bsky.social, making the case for free speech alongside universal healthcare is so KEY for the left, because it's time progressives reclaimed the mantle of fighting for free speech from the faux free speech warriors of the right.
AOC: I want to live in an America that guarantees healthcare to every person.
I want to live in an America that has a living wage for every person
I want to live in an America where you have free speech to express yourself and not be afraid of being put on a list or deported.

Here’s a thought, & a catch-phrase for all those “rich” folks: “Tithes for Tax!!!” You lead by example, convince your colleagues to set-aside 10% of EVERY dollar they receive annually e.g., salary, campaign cash booty, gifts, investment windfalls, kickbacks, etc., and donate that to the gov’t
AOC: We need to be taxing the rich on the floor of the Congress
We need to be establishing guaranteed healthcare on the floor of the Congress
We need to be passing a living wage on the floor of the Congress

We will not be distracted.
We will not be discouraged.
We’ve got our eyes on the prize.
And we will build the prosperous, free nation for all that we deserve.
The time to organize is now.

And how is that going to make those policies/views any more palatable and acceptable to the American voting public?
going to start calling myself a centrist and then listing all my leftist views as proof, just going to start moving the overton window by force

No, that’s not at all what I said. With regard to a small group (billionaires or otherwise) governing 8 billion people, isn’t that exactly what the World Economic Forum (WEF), cliques in the UN, or E.U. are attempting to do as we sit right now?
So you agree billionaires have a fundamentally different worldview than that of the working class. Maybe we shouldn’t allow the world view of such a small minority govern the lives of 8 billion people.

I don’t recall any squawking about frequent days “out of the office” to shuffle in the sand at Rehoboth Beach….
I know there is some anxiety around how to protect yourself in light of Muskrat and his herd of shitler youth getting their hands on all our personal information so here are the steps you can take to protect yourself. I’ve seen these in various threads but thought it worth putting them together🧵 1/?

Be careful what you ask for. It’s all fun and games until Robespierre gets in charge.
In the next few years we’ll find out which path this country takes. Germany in the 1930’s, or France in the 1780’s. Fascism, or revolt against the oligarchy.

The ignorance around using the term “Nazi” to label an opponent, someone with a different viewpoint or opinion, is appalling. There must be a lot of broken mirrors in “Leftist-Land.”

Yea, and that worked out so well! It’s all fun and games until Robespierre gets in charge.
Well for the cutoff: if you want to end all billionaires, the lower bound is 1 billion on the dot (thats in USD, since a lot of billionaires live in the US and we have to choose a currency anyway)
I dont exactly remember how the french did it, but the revolutionaries were in chatge of that

That’s how seeding works- you see that in virtually any tournament bracket, regardless of sport. It also, can produce some great Cinderella-story upsets. During the previous 4-team BCS years, there were numerous blow-outs - much worse than we saw over the past couple days.
I am not above admitting that it's funny CFB decided to triple the size of the playoff and is being rewarded with incredibly lopsided first round games

And why would you place your faith & dependence on those institutions? It is nice for a safety net to exist when needed, but that does not preclude wearing and tying-off your safety harness.

Went to watch a movie last night. Preceded by at least 15 minutes (or more!) of back-to-back ads, THEN maybe 3-4, maybe 5, movie previews then a few more commercials. ~$12 for a large popcorn and lg drink. Ridiculous!

My oh my has the “hero-to-hated” pendulum swung.
Shocking as it sounds, it’s quite possible people prefer the civility and community of Bluesky over being force fed some cooked up algorithm concocted by a bombastic billionaire to amplify trolls, bots, and miscreants. Imagine that!
