I don't need something to affect me personally to care. I amβ€”and will continue to beβ€”outspoken for ALL Americans. I care about people, even those who chose hatred and fear in November. I’m angry and disappointed, but I won’t let their hatred change who I am. Stay Strong. Take care of each other.

πŸ“ŒMEDIA: Stop calling Jared Kushner a "high-level negotiator." He's a damn thief operating in his repulsive family's best interests not ours.

Jeff Bezos is worth $220 billion. After building that fortune from overworking and exploiting his own workers, Bezos is now developing a fund to acquire manufacturing companies and automate them. Why do we always hear about immigrants taking jobs when the oligarchs are actually to blame?

When 3.5% of a population actively participates in sustained, peaceful protest, it can topple authoritarian regimes β€” like the one currently in the Oval Office. We need 12 million people to show up on March 28 to get to 3.5%. Will you be one of them? Find out how at nokings.org

Ideally the President of the United States and the stupidest person on the planet should be two different people…

What I always hear: β€œWe can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.” What I never hear: β€œWe can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.” Funny how that works.

So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion. That's roughly $1 billion per day. $41,666,667 per hour. $11,574 per second. People do not want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

Y’all are praising Tillis for going off on Noem because of the dog thing. I get it. She’s a psychopath. Tillis cares more about that dead dog than he does any human being. He voted against halting the war in Iran. Just remember that when you’re congratulating him on his strong worded performance

I just saw someone write that they sent Thom Tillis a thank you note for his speaking out. With all due respect, Fuck Thom Tillis. He fucked us over for YEARS!! He hates Noem & Miller and he’s calling them out. Good. He still won’t say anything against Felon47. There are better uses for stamps.

One of the unacknowledged advantages of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power. The intentions of the oligarchs are fully exposed and more blatant than ever. But remember: We outnumber the oligarchs.

When the U.S. Supreme Court said that you could detain people based on their race, their accent, or the language they spoke… there is nothing to preclude ICE from doing that while you’re standing in line getting ready to cast a ballot. Stacey Abrams Voting-rights expert

This is an authoritarian power grab, full stop. Nationalizing elections would put the executive branch in control of who votes and how. That’s how dictators rig outcomes, crush opposition, and assault democratic self-government. This should alarm everyone: www.ms.now/news/trump-s...

ms.nowTrump suggests federal control of elections in β€˜some areas’In a lengthy interview with NBC, the president said he will accept the results of the midterm elections if they are β€œhonest.”

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

A US citizen filmed federal agents smashing his car window, as authorities begin a surge of immigration enforcement operations in North Carolina. The Honduran-born Charlotte resident filed a police report after the officers let him go.

I'm seeing people wonder why ICE is going after Charlotte. ICE has been at war with Charlotte's sheriff ever since he won in 2018. We'd covered this at Bolts back in the day; this quote is from that sheriff:

Bolts@boltsmag.org

β€œWhen the 8 African American sheriffs took over the largest counties in North Carolina, it became a threat to the good ol’ boy system,” says the sheriff of Charlotte. These new sheriffs broke ties with ICE. But GOP lawmakers cracked down this week, overbidding the governor’s veto to adopt this law:

Let this sink in. The President of the United States is now appealing a court order forcing him to feed starving children.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance. The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income. They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive. Wanna fix fraud and abuse? Fix that.
