If you aren't reading @doctorow these days, you probably don't understand all the hidden forces that are making you/us miserable. Instead of throwing eggs at each other, spend a couple minutes digesting this today #GotchaCapitalism

@DorisMatsui Please sponsor the Iranian citizens who have been sentenced to execution for protesting. Some European legislators have done this in the past weeks and it is saving innocent lives.

@SenAlexPadilla Please sponsor the Iranian citizens who have been sentenced to execution for protesting. As members of German and Austrian legislatures did last week.

Iran's gov is sentencing people to death for being LGBTQ. Elham Choubdar and Zahra Sedighi-Hamedani are two such women on death row right now. I am talking about these people because Iran's gov has hesitated to kill their citizens who are known outside Iran. #FreeIran2022

[Benjamin Roye 🧢≥ @artlt3_engineer]

Iran's gov is cracking down on all dissent. Saman Seydi and Toomaj Salehi are rappers who spoke out against the gov and are sentenced to death. Niloofar Hamedi and Elham Mohammadi are journalists who broke the news of Mahsa Jhina Amini's death. #FreeIran2022

Iran's gov is a gang that hides behind religion. Armita Abbasi was beaten and raped by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard and has since been removed from the hospital where she sought treatment. Her family has no idea where she is. Imagine living under such a regime. #FreeIran2022

[Benjamin Roye 🧢≥ @artlt3_engineer]

Iran's gov has passed beyond legitimacy. Sahad Nour Mohamadzadeh was arrested and accused of setting fires during a protest, tortured into a confession, accused of 'war against god' and has been sentenced to death. This is medieval behavior. Intolerable. #FreeIran2022

[Benjamin Roye 🧢≥ @artlt3_engineer]

Iranian gov is engaged in terrorizing its own citizens. Parham Parvari was simply walking home past a protest when he got arrested as the police swept up people. He's been accused of 'war against god' and is to be executed. #FreeIran2022

[Benjamin Roye 🧢≥ @artlt3_engineer]

Iranian gov is acting horrifically. Hadis Najafi was shot repeatedly at a protest. Hamid Ghare-Hasanlou attended her funeral where a policeman was killed. Hamid was beaten, arrested, subjected to a sham trial for the killing and has been sentenced to death. #FreeIran2022

The most powerful tool of oppression is keeping you so busy with the daily struggle that you don’t have the time to connect all the dots and become truly enraged.

I had an ankle fracture surgery cancel this morning because he couldn’t afford his deductible. This guy will never run or walk without pain again. He will never work construction again. And he has insurance. That he pays for. And he still can’t afford his necessary surgery.

Yup. As frustrating as Manchin is, he's probably the best case scenario for a senator from WV. Dems have to find additional seats from the 50 the GOP holds right now.

[NO_TO_RIOT_BLOCKCHAIN_BITCOIN_MINE @WitchesFor]

For as much as we're mad at @Sen_JoeManchin, let's NEVER FORGET that the @senategop & @housegop are UNANIMOUSLY opposed to helping Americans in one of the most uncertain & tumultuous times in the history of our nation.

Voter registration should be automatic when you turn 18.

And Election Day should be a national holiday.

RT IF YOU AGREE.

Is the SUPPORT act advanced by Ilhan Omar exactly the UBI plan we need. No. It is, however, great progress in the right direction so I am definitely in favor.

I don't want to sound like your cringy brother-in-law slinging his MLM on FB, but I read this newsletter called Morning Brew every day. It's free. Concise. If you have any interest in business and stock info: https://t.co/uu0uG1QFML

Because it's deceptive statistics. Poorer households hold a larger part of their wealth in their homes and cars, two asset classes that spiked in price because of pandemic shortages. But this isn't accessible wealth. Same home, same car. Trade-ins just as highly priced.

Why am I thinking this news is not going to get a lot of play?
