"Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage.
The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.”
It’s about control.
Let me get this straight: it was too expensive to cancel up to $400 billion in student loan debt (which would have freed up the spending power of millions of Americans so money going back into the economy). So instead, [checks notes] we're going to give $300 billion to Iran.
What sucks is that life could be so easy. So easy. There are enough resources to end world hunger, homelessness, and poverty. We could slow down and fairly utilize and distribute them. Instead, everyone suffers while 20 men control half the world’s wealth.
Good morning and Happy Sunday to everyone celebrating President Obama Appreciation Day today, because he's infinitely better than the squatter in the Oval Office, and never used taxpayer funds for a lavish birthday party for himself.
Better in every way.
The most annoying thing about being human right now is knowing we already have the intelligence and resources to end world hunger, fight climate change, and cure cancer, but greed and billionaires keep millions suffering instead. The wasted human potential is heartbreaking.
Education has really radicalized me I don't wanna lie. Knowing stuff has made me deeply angry about the world. If you're not angry, you literally just don't know enough.
