The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.

Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.

The list goes on and on.

Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

@serenityposting @JasperQLee @JoshuaRush Didn't the SC uphold partisan gerrymandering in it's most recent ruling?

BREAKING:

ABC has accused Trump's FCC of violating its free speech rights — arguing that regulators had a "chilling effect" on free speech by trying to punish political content they disagreed with.

@JoshuaRush I guess I'm wondering if this ruling would apply ...

[JustAmanda @AmandaWokeAF]

@JoshuaRush Didn't the SC okay partisan gerrymandering? This ruling is confusing.

[JustAmanda @AmandaWokeAF]

@JasperQLee @JoshuaRush Agreed completely, especially after this last SCOTUS ruling.

[JustAmanda @AmandaWokeAF]

@Quilly_Dilly @JoshuaRush The SC allowed it for the red states...

You reduce crime by eliminating poverty. You reduce crime with universal healthcare, public housing, livable wages, and free college. You reduce violence by creating happy, healthy communities that aren’t constantly fighting over basic needs and material resources.

Wall Street Journal Editorial Board goes to town against Trump admin mass deportation policies.

Focuses on empirical study finding ICE arrests have decreased employment among U.S.-born men with less formal education.

"In other words, deporting law-abiding workers reduces job opportunities for American workers. ... This isn’t a novel finding, but it shows how deporting noncriminal immigrants is economically counterproductive."

They need to teach this in schools, kids need to know this.

Rightwing terrorism has been the biggest threat in the US for years, per every study on this from UMD’s START, CSIS, ADL, Brookings, Cato, and the National Institute of Justice. From 2022 to 2024, every single extremism-related murder in the US was carried out by a rightwinger.

Our media is controlled by just a handful of billionaires and their corporations. And Trump is making things even worse.

Here's how we stop it.

"violence isn't the answer" only gets said when oppressed people start fighting back, not when the oppression is happening

The Donald Trump administration appointed Robert Mueller who was Bush’s former FBI chief. Marco Rubio chaired the Senate Intel Committee which confirmed Russia’s interference in the 2016 election.

No immigrant stole your job. You were laid off by a capitalist who wanted cheap labor and took advantage of that immigrant to increase his profits, and nothing makes him happier than watching you blame the worker instead of him.

[Team Talarico @TeamTalaricoHQ]

.@JamesTalarico: The kind of religion that says you can treat people however you want as long as you have a personal relationship with Jesus is an abomination.

Scripture says you can't love God and hate other people.

You can't love God and abuse the immigrant.
You can't love God and bully the outcast.
You can't love God and oppress the poor.

We spend so much time looking for God out there, that we miss God in the person sitting right next to us.

[Joe Walsh @WalshFreedom]

Trump is the most anti- free speech, anti-free press President in American history.👇
