#MLK on the myth that capitalism grew out of Protestant work ethic:
“The fact is, capitalism was built on the exploitation & suffering of black slaves & continues to thrive by exploiting the poor—both black & white, here & abroad”

NEW: @Brandon4Chicago has won his election for mayor of Chicago.
This is a win for the history books. Brandon Johnson just defeated a wave of far-right money and misinformation thanks to people power and his positive vision for a safe and thriving Chicago.
@elisabethepps The Ped-ago shops in Boulder and Golden are woman owned, and the owner is reeeeaaaaly family friendly. Pedago’s are def more expensive — but she offers a warranty, and she sells used bikes at a great discount!!!
In the latest returns, @SolforCO has significantly narrowed the gap. She's now just 545 votes behind, with more ballots yet to be counted. In the last update alone, she had a net gain of +525 votes.
So, if you went to sleep on the CD3 primary, wake back up.

I shifted 6 months of my contributions to my kid’s college account to @elisabethepps campaign.
Our community & kids deserve leaders who can’t be bought by corporations #coleg
(1/5) Corporate interests are pulling out all the stops - and breaking dark money spending records - to try to defeat @WorkingFamilies champion @elisabethepps, because they know she can’t be bought.

The problem isn’t the prospect of Elon Musk owning twitter.
The problem is a system that allows a service that functions like a global communication utility to be privately owned altogether.
We shouldn’t hope for benevolent overlords. We should organize for systems change.
