WHO ELSE AGREES?! 🤚✨

Send them a $1,300 check every month and tell them America is so great it's issuing a regular dividend to citizens now just like our greatest corporations do.

The Census Bureau’s new proposed rule would drastically change how many seats each state receives in the House of Representatives and how much federal money your community receives. Use this page and urge them to say NO: act.standupamerica.com/letters/cens...

ICE VIOLENTLY BEAT A FATHER IN FRONT OF HIS 1 YEAR OLD CHILD. Please repost this every 🔊 bsky.app/profile/resi...

Donald Trump and every one of his appointees and cabinet members and advisors must be destroyed financially, stripped of literally all their money and assets, and denied all future government employment. Let them live off of whatever UBI and public housing/health care they can scrounge up.

This is a big one that I think many people don't fully appreciate. Given a room of 1,000 people, it can be hard for one person to find and help those who need the most help. Give everyone UBI and watch as more than half the room leaves, because they only needed a bit of money. Those left need more.

Universal basic income ensures that everyone has the ability to express basic demand for basic goods and services. This is market improving. Markets can't differentiate between 0 and Ø. A store can fail because not enough customers. But is that because they didn't like it or they did but were broke?

I’m with Homeland Security Investigations. I came here to talk to you about some online threats you made against ICE. Get the fuck off my property.

The food people need is in grocery stores. They just need the permission slips (cash) to access it. Food banks should not exist. They are a symptom of failed policy. They exist because universal basic income doesn't. We need UBI and it's a fight because the people doing this are doing it on purpose:

This is why it's such nonsense for anyone to say that with UBI, people will lose meaning. First, jobs aren't any source of meaning for many people with jobs. Second, the jobs people can't say no to are in the way of a getting a lot of meaningful work done. And third, the rich seem to find meaning.

I feel that over half of what is being given to the military right now should instead be put towards benefitting the public through stuff like universal basic income and single-payer healthcare

The take that UBI is bad because it would make us need government is bad. The same argument could be used against doing Social Security or Medicare if we didn't already have them. If everyone needs a government program, that's good for democracy and bad for politicians who threaten those programs.

More importantly, why the fuck would you TELL the public where you’re storing “sniper ammo”

Got my updated COVID and flu shots today because I prefer not dying and also fuck RFK jr and this whole willfully ignorant and malicious administration.

New article from me where I propose a Pigovian automation tax to slow down the deployment of AI by companies in a way that also creates an incentive for them to embrace shorter workweeks, lower their prices, boost the incomes of displaced workers, and take a healthy step toward Medicare for All.

If you're in or near Portland, OR, come to this event next week! And if you can't come, share it with those interested in universal basic income who can!

It won’t cost billions. Knocking that stupid arch down will take no time at all, it will just have to be hauled away and the grounds restored. Same with the Rose Garden. I don’t know what they’re going to do with the stinking ballroom, but that has to go also, and that could be big bucks.

THIS 👇 HERE TOO, AS WELL.......

Making sure that unpaid care work is supported is great, but limiting it to only married couples and reducing the support for single and unmarried working parents just isn't the right way to go about it. The right way to do it is universal basic income.

I wrote about the proposal for RISE Pilots, which is a new conservative alternative to UBI that looks to consolidate a bunch of existing programs into one benefit with a low phaseout rate—which is good—but instead of using unconditional cash, using programmable currency with behavioral requirements.

America today - taxation without representation. . . 🤣🤣🤣 Money for Israel Money for Argentina Money for ICE Money for Trump Money for APAC Money for Baron You get the picture

Because of union loss, offshoring, automation, and gig labor, workers have far less collective bargaining power to demand a larger share of the pie. I believe the only real solution is to distribute that share directly as UBI and, in doing so, skyrocket the individual bargaining power of all workers

There’s no legitimate purpose for ICE to have this information. There are a ton of nefarious ones, though.
