Biggest theft of our lives. That was our money and they handed the refund to corporations instead of back to you

If Luigi Mangione had done what he is accused of doing then this is the kind of thing he would’ve done it about.

Almost every step of the way there’s someone who can just magically approve what you need to try and save your child but the point is to make you submit to the humiliation ritual.

Private health insurance companies defraud taxpayers out of $80 billion per year — just in case you were looking for some fraud to start with.

The U.S has already spent $29 billion on the Iran War.

That money could fund the free lunches of every public school student for the entire year.

A 5% wealth tax on billionaires IS the compromise.

BREAKING: Trump economic adviser Kevin Hassett just said the quiet part out loud.

“If the war were to be extended it wouldn't really disrupt the US economy at all. It would hurt consumers…but that's really the last of our concerns right now."

They don’t care about us at all.

Tennessee is considering a bill (SB1868/HB2526) that would lock up foster kids indefinitely, even if they haven’t been charged with a crime. You can help kill this bill today.

Here's what happens when kids are locked up without a crime:

Hillary Transue was a teen in Pennsylvania. She made a MySpace page mocking her high school’s strict vice principal. At the end she wrote, "When you find this I hope you have a sense of humor." He didn’t.

Instead of detention or a meeting with parents, Hillary was taken to juvenile court before Judge Mark Ciavarella. Her hearing lasted about 60 seconds. She was handcuffed right there and locked up. Her mother was horrified as Hillary who had never been in serious trouble, was treated like a dangerous criminal.

Years later it was revealed Ciavarella was taking millions in kickbacks from private detention centers to lock up thousands of kids in the now-infamous Kids for Cash scandal.

Fortunately for Hillary, she had a loving family and "only" spent about a month locked up.

SB1868/HB2526 would allow Tennessee to detain foster kids, potentially until they are adults, without a charge even being filed, based on predictions about their behavior.

We’re going to protect these kids from ever being put through that. I’ll explain how you can help in this thread.

In the weeks leading up to the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran, it should come as no surprise that Members of Congress were buying defense stocks.

They want to enrich themselves from this death and destruction while sending other families' loved ones off to war. Disgusting.

[Claire Valdez @claireforny]

The fact that a 5% wealth tax on just 938 billionaires could pay for all this shows you just how much money the oligarchs control.

I'll be signing onto @BernieSanders and @RoKhanna's legislation the moment I get to Congress.

[Greg Stoker @gregjstoker]

If you are in the US military you are not currently fighting for your country - you’re fighting for a small group of inhumanly rich transnational billionaires who do not believe in nation-states in the same way you do.

I’m 4th gen Army. Deprogramming is difficult, you got this!

Here come all the braindead “don’t blame me I voted for Kamala” takes.

Apparently y’all weren’t paying attention during the State of the Union when Democrats stood up and applauded Trump’s call for war against Iran.

Both parties serve the same capitalist and imperialist system.
