Every time I bring up a Universal Basic Income, people lose their minds and say, "I don't want my taxes paying for it."

Here's my question:
How much are your taxes already paying for poverty?
How much are we spending on homelessness, emergency rooms, shelters, policing, courts, jails, child welfare, lost productivity, and food insecurity?

Poverty isn't free. In fact, poverty costs society a fortune.

The real debate shouldn't be whether we can afford to reduce poverty, it should be whether we can afford not to!

BREAKING: DOJ opens a criminal investigation into Gavin Newsom. After Comey, Letitia James, Mark Kelly, and others, the pattern is clear: investigate critics, pardon loyalists. That’s not democracy. That’s autocracy.

BREAKING: Tensions Are Escalating In Albania.

After days of protests over a controversial luxury resort project, demonstrators in Rrjoll, northern Albania, tore down fencing surrounding the construction site.

Protesters say land belonging to roughly 200 local families was confiscated to make way for the development.

The confrontation comes as environmental and anti-corruption demonstrations continue to spread across the country.

This is no longer just a dispute over a resort.

It’s becoming a broader fight over land rights, political influence, and who benefits from Albania’s development boom.

ridiculous that we have all these supposed billionaire geniuses running around, and their greatest innovation of our lifetime has been stealing our personal data to sell us targeted ads.

I'm not surprised this cartoon came true.

I don't mind at all having to pay taxes when the poor can't. What really pisses me off is having to pay taxes when the rich won't.

Manitoba becomes the 1st province in Canada to mandate nurse-to-patient ratios.
As a former ward nurse who often cared for 8 patients at a time, the move toward a 1:4 nurse-to-patient ratio is great news. This means safer care for patients & a more sustainable nursing workforce.

Elizabeth Warren’s proposed 3% tax on people with over $100M in wealth would generate $30B in revenue each year on Elon Musk’s fortune alone. That’s about how much the US spends each year on affordable housing subsidies.

Tax. The. Rich.

Just want to remind everyone that Elon Musk canceled $400 million in food aid for Gaza and Darfur, and to remind everyone when he held up a chainsaw, fed USAID into the wood chipper, and thousands of people have already died as a result.

That's who you're defending. History's first trillionaire.

Note to anyone angry that Trump's name was taken off the Kennedy Center, don't you worry. You can still find his name in the Epstein files over 38,000 times.

They literally met in the Situation Room to come up with a defense for the President of the United States raping children.

[guyfelicella🇨🇦🍁 @guyfelicella]

I can't believe the comments from people defending Elon becoming a trillionaire. No one defends extreme wealth more than mediocre men who have far more in common with the average worker than they do with Elon Musk.

The Ford government is escalating its fight to cancel all summer meetings of the committee responsible for vetting PC appointees to provincial agencies & boards, now taking the dispute to the Speaker.

Critics say it’s “astonishing the lengths they’ll go to not be held accountable.”

But the government argues historically, this committee has never met during breaks.

Instead of playing Captain Canada, the Premier of Ontario @fordnation needs to release his phone records as ordered by the Ontario Court of Appeal.
