Corporations aren't people, but those who run them are. Addicted to power, destroying for a fix, a threat to themselves & others. Join the Intervention...
'How the Fight to Stop Insider Trading on Congress Failed" (Hint:
We still allow those addicted to corporate power & money in politics to write and enforce -or not enforce- laws that would regulate the substances of greed addiction. We can change that).

@1a@ShaneGoldmacher@kenvogel@smotus @ErinChlopak @campaignconnor@RepJayapal and over 90 co-sponsors of HJR48 would like you to know that the bill bans any contribution that creates more influence than any other ordinary citizen’s influence. (When candidates co-sponsor HJR48, we deem them “sober” in the addiction to power & money in politics)
Here’s the way I see it: you can own and trade individual stocks, or you can serve the public interest as a member of Congress, but you shouldn’t be able to do both at the same time. We must ban members from owning and trading stocks. #StopTheTrades
@PramilaJayapal You're invited join our next #livestream@RepJayapal! Those who know that addiction to wealth & power is how a government gets bought by an industry are exactly the leaders this nation needs right now.
Last day to register to vote in the Missouri primary is July 11th. (Those registers as Independents can vote in either the Democratic or Republican primary). #Missouri#Elections#Election2022
In a nation steeped in addiction to wealth & power at any cost, some at MONICC and our other chapters affected by the election, feel this is somehow sobering.
#SoberSenate#Recovery
I have known @EricGreitens for 30 years. He is a broken man, who will do anything, including inciting violence, to regain power. He’s not the same person whose weddings I went to. Eric, drop out. Try to repair the damage you have done, to your family, your country, and yourself.
@45Kristy@RepJayapal We invite a government that is fully sober when it comes to the addiction to any and all corporate power & money in politics. The substance of this addiction: Wealth & Power. The effects do seem endless, yes. So, we focus on #Recovery, substance control, regulation, prohibition.
@PramilaJayapal Thank you @RepJayapal for giving us HJR48 as a means for candidates to pass our #SobrietyTest. Today, #gun manufacturing corporations have more rights and protections than our children. Today, corporate personhood matters than our kids’.
Yours in #Recovery to #SoberUpCongress
Wondering what to do about the Senate's addiction to NRA campaign cash?
"join us, recovering enablers and once-codependent constituents, and learn what it means to draw strong boundaries on a disease that otherwise continues to live on the lives it takes"

On the day of a mass shooting and weeks after news of Roe, Democratic Party leadership rallied for a pro-NRA, anti-choice incumbent under investigation in a close primary. Robocalls, fundraisers, all of it.
Accountability isn’t partisan. This was an utter failure of leadership.
In #Texas#DemocraticPrimary runoff in TX 28th, @JCisnerosTX leads in Bexar County 8:1 against the 9-term incumbent, Henry Cuellar, who may have received $3M from corporate donors. In Webb County, Cuellar leads 2.5 votes-to-1. 10% left to count in Bexar. 5% left to count in Webb
It's just a coincidence that PA's #NationalIntervention Coordinating Committee is "PANICC"!
But, the #PAPrimary outcome will be no coincidence. Just math.
TODAY'S YOUR LAST DAY TO SEND YOUR PA PRIMARY BALLOT/VOTE EARLY IN PERSON
So: Don't PANIC, #PANICC! Go mail/do your vote!
