We live in 2 Americas:
In 1 America, the 8 wealthiest men, all Big Tech Oligarchs, are now worth over $2.5 trillion & have never had it so good.
In the other America, according to a new poll, 66% of our population cannot afford groceries.
We can do better. We must do better.
When Charlie Kirk was killed, people said he was a father taken who didn’t deserve to be murdered for doing what they love etc.
This week, two unarmed, undocumented fathers were killed by ICE
Where’s that same outrage? Does our humanity end at immigration status?
The fact that women can have their nudes leaked and have their whole career go down the drain, but men can have a full-blown rape allegation and still end up as president? Yeah, I don’t wanna hear a single person argue that gender inequality doesn’t exist.
Tonight Trump will re-litigate the 2020 election.
Why?
In support of his SAVE act, which is actually a Voter Suppression Act.
This is a Hail Mary effort to keep his corrupt power grab from being swamped by a blue wave in November.
Trump promised to cap credit card interest rates at 10%.
He lied.
Last quarter, while working people struggle to pay their bills, big banks made a $49 billion profit charging 25-30% credit card interest rates.
We must take on the outrageous greed and usury of Wall Street.
Trump’s election speech tonight is not about the 2020 election—it is a threat against the election he's afraid to lose in November.
Trump knows he can’t defend Republicans' disastrous record, so he’s trying to discredit voters who will judge it in November.
TRUMP’S LIES, CLIMATE CHANGE AND THE FUTURE OF THE PLANET
The last eleven years have been the hottest eleven years on record. The last three years have been the hottest three years on record. Europe just saw its worst heat wave in recorded history that set all-time heat records in seven countries, killed more than 10,000 people, and caused the worst heat stress ever in half of the continent’s largest cities.
Much of the American west just saw its warmest winter on record, and as a country, the United States just saw its worst spring drought in recorded history. This summer alone we have seen multiple record heatwaves that have exposed hundreds of millions of Americans to dangerous levels of heat.
In both the United States and Canada, this heat and drought is driving longer and more intense wildfire seasons, including the more than 800 wildfires across Canada and northern Minnesota that are currently causing dangerous levels of air pollution for at least 115 million people across 20 states.
Let’s be clear: It is not normal for Detroit, Minneapolis, and Chicago to have some of the most dangerous air quality in the world.
NO, Mr. President: climate change is not a hoax. It is reality. And your ignorance is putting our kids and grandkids at risk in exchange for the short-term profit of your billionaire friends in Big Oil.
Our job: Reject President Trump’s lies and take on the crisis of climate change and the greed of the fossil fuel industry by transitioning our energy system to energy efficiency and sustainable forms of power. When we do that, we cut carbon emissions, reduce energy bills, and create millions of good union jobs.
And, by the way, we save the planet for our kids and grandchildren.
