Get mad at untaxed corporations *instead of* working/poor people, immigrants, & the disabled. On Instagram: Youshouldbeangry2020.
TAX THE RICH ALREADY!
@AOC @RepKatiePorter Disabled people need to be able to marry without losing their (really insultingly low for 2020) benefits. Most households need 2 incomes. This penalty is rooted in infantalizing notions of disabled ppl. For one thing, most SSI checks go straight to rent...
Last year, we proved Donald Trump guilty of abusing the power of his office.
But Republican Senators refused to convict, claiming on principle, voters should decide.
Now, those same Senators wish to overturn the election results.
They have no principle, only fear and ambition.
Excessive sounds can also drive people to suicide. We were not wired to be able to tolerate extreme high pitched frequencies and the idea of "let's just use that in pest control & anti-dog barking instead of people cleaning up after themselves (or training their dogs)" is absurd.
@ilhan@aoc @RepKatiePorter Today's Seemingly Insignificant But Really Not Once You've Personally Experienced It Issue: What are you doing to get useless but harmful #ultrasonic pest/dog barking 'conttol' devices/scams banned from the market? Not only are they ineffective,/ 1
This is yet another of one of our social policies that is something that doesn't get a lot of traction unless you have been personally impacted by it which is very unfortunate --because sound literally can destroy a person's life. Sounds can drive people to move at great loss.6/
@niyasutton@ankithharathi@whoissizzle The vast majority of wealthy people got there through inheritance
The USA actually has less social mobility than almost any western country
In this way, the middle class refusing to take its blinders off and see #TheRealLooters and how the hntaxed rich and untaxed corporations hoard wealth does as much harm to keeping social movements down than the lobbying of the rich themselves.
The middle class can stop its fear of being associated with "the poors" at any time & start advocating for policies that benefit it as well ...the untaxed rich are relying on middle class hatred of the poor to keep the status quo, pass it on🔥
@AOC RAISE SSI TO HUMANE 2020 LEVELS. Y'ALL GETTING MAD AT $600, TRY LIVING ON NOT KUCH MORE THAN THAT, PAYING RENT, FOOD, AND OTHER EXPENSES. REFORM SSI NOW! THE RATES ARE TOO LOW AND THE PENALTIES FOR PT WORK/MARRIAGE/SAVING KEEP DISABLED PEOPLE POOR AND ON THE SYSTEM LONGER!
A reminder of how we’re ending the Trump Administration:
- Spiking COVID rates, still no national plan
- 300,000 people dead
- No deal to give survival checks for the American people
- Another looming government shutdown
- A massive cyber attack by a foreign power
If Republicans are suddenly so concerned about government spending after their years of corrupt giveaways, I have a great solution for them.
Let’s repeal the $2 TRILLION GOP tax scam from ‘17 to pay for a whole slew of proposals that actually help working people.
Done ✅
