I really loved the theme of loneliness in I Love Boosters being a result of unbearable capitalism…the way it stifles true creativity…how community is found in unity around common goals…felt that deep in my soul
.@BootsRiley talking about reporting in the Intercept that showed Police Departments/Unions switching from defensive to offensive messaging in the wake of George Floyd's murder and fabricating crime panic stories like "CVS's in the Bay Area are closing because of shoplifting" narratives that helped inspire I Love Boosters #ILoveBoosters

the CATO Institute.. a libertarian think tank funded by the Koch brothers.. just published a study showing immigrants paid more in taxes than they received in benefits every single year from 1994 to 2023..

they reduced the deficit by $14.5 trillion over 30 years.. they earn less per hour but work at higher rates.. which means higher per capita income.. which means higher taxes paid..
the country spent 30 years being told immigrants were draining the system.. turns out they were funding it.. and the people who told you that knew the numbers the whole time
