When they show you their priorities- believe them.
They are willing to tap our savings accounts to give breaks and incentives for more data centers and big business. But, will not do it to ensure our teacher and support staff don’t get a pay cut.
Shameful #lalege
Two Black lawmakers were arrested for their opposition against white state legislators eliminating Black representation in the state of Tennessee.
Absolutely insane things are happening in the year 2026.
All the states now drawing new congressional maps to eliminate Black districts were slave states that had joined the Confederacy, waged war on the USA and then imposed Jim Crow laws. That MUST be included in all media coverage for context!
Louisiana's version of The Heritage Foundation is called The Pelican Institute. They were the ones who propelled Kevin Roberts of Lafayette, Louisiana, the head of The Heritage Foundation and co-author of Project 2025, into national prominence.
What happens to the south, happens to us all.
I'd like to "refresh your memory to 2005, when Katrina was going on, when all of us could have been homeless in front of a gas station," said state Rep. Sylvia Taylor, in opposing HB211, which would make sleeping on the street in Louisiana a crime. House passes it 70-28. #lalege
Jails can never be “mental health care providers” because being locked up in a cage is itself horrible for one’s mental health. And jails can never “serve the people being held there” because the jail is a tool of oppression & serves the ruling class.
Costco makes penny-level margins on every gallon of gas it sells. The fuel operation runs close to break-even on ~$27 billion in annual revenue. And they just announced they're building standalone gas stations with no store attached.
Sounds insane until you see where the money actually sits.
NEW: Walmart found a creative, illegal way to make sure they have the lowest prices.
They're forcing companies to raise prices on any competitor who dares to sell items at a lower price than Walmart.
They're using their size and reach to squeeze out stores across America.
The Electoral College. Equal representation in the Senate. Racial gerrymandering. All are relics of slavery & undemocratic processes designed to maintain white supremacy.
Until we have this conversation, America will have a hard time actually becoming “a more perfect union.”
