���Because of lobbying, extremely rich monopoly owners are able to bribe and/or convince government officials to side with their personal causes, allowing monopolies to continue their harmful actions.”

[Devon Burger @devonburger]

“A reason that the U.S government hasn’t been able to fully control the the creation of monopolies today is because much of the government is corrupt and owners of the monopolies lobby them.”

Can’t wait to use Taylor breaking Ticketmaster to teach my social studies students about trusts and monopolies for our unit on the Progressive Era

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Break them up.

I just saw a meme about Noah's arc, and a thought popped into my head, and I checked the dates, and around 4800yrs ago seems to be the claimed date roughly, which did match what I was thinking, and so I present this thread:

UNEXPECTED ANIMALS THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN ON NOAH'S ARK

The #1619Project published 3 yrs ago this Sunday. The fact tht so many keep trying to dismiss, discredit ths work written mostly by historians is greatest testament to its power. If you all had not supported, embraced the project like you have, they wouldn't still be fighting it.
