They have no concern or idea of what it means to be deeply American. The America that I've sung to you about for 50 years is real, and regardless of its faults, is a great country with a great people. So we'll survive this moment.” Springsteen

They're defunding American universities that won't bow down to their ideological demands. They're removing residents off American streets and, without due process of law, are deporting them to foreign detention centers and prisons. This is all happening now.

In my country, they're taking sadistic pleasure in the pain that they inflict on loyal American workers, they're rolling back historic Civil Rights legislation that led to a more just & plural society, they're abandoning our allies and siding with dictators against those struggling for freedom

In America, they are persecuting people for using their right to free speech and voicing their dissent. This is happening now. In America, the richest men are taking satisfaction in abandoning the world's poorest children to sickness and death. This is happening now. In my country,

Please share!!! This is getting ridiculous—they just can’t accept a loss. Please help spread the word to North Carolina. The North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled in a 2-1 decision that over 60,000 votes cast in last year’s closely contested state Supreme Court race must be verified and recounted.

America has always had oligarchs. The Rockefellers, Carnegies, etc., but in the past, they would be give to society. Now these “broligarchs”, they want to keep all of their money, influence the system to go unchecked in their greed, & create an even bigger divide between the haves and everyone else.

In 2005, when the mortgage bubble burst and the economy collapsed, it wasn’t because of Medicaid, or government waste, it was because we should have had more oversight, regulations and less greed. Firing inspectors and cutting programs that help struggling and poor is just mean.
