I don't need something to affect me personally to care. I amβand will continue to beβoutspoken for ALL Americans. I care about people, even those who chose hatred and fear in November. Iβm angry and disappointed, but I wonβt let their hatred change who I am.
Stay Strong. Take care of each other.
GAME CHANGER: Montana just found the "exit ramp" to kill Citizens United. They aren't waiting for the Supreme Courtβtheyβre going around them. 74% of voters are on board and corporate lawyers are PANICKING. This is how we win. ποΈπΈ www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/army-secre...
Shout out to the woman working with the Philadelphia 76ers (in town to play the Clt Hornets), who asked for directions to #NoKings in #Charlotte and walked with us. Said she might not be home, but she had to find a protest. π―ππ½ π«π
Charlotte showed up today. Grateful I got to hear Dr. Ibrim X. Kendi speak. (And grateful to people who shared video b/c I couldnβt hear everything. π) #NOKINGS#charlotte#NC
Jeff Bezos is worth $220 billion.
After building that fortune from overworking and exploiting his own workers, Bezos is now developing a fund to acquire manufacturing companies and automate them.
Why do we always hear about immigrants taking jobs when the oligarchs are actually to blame?
When 3.5% of a population actively participates in sustained, peaceful protest, it can topple authoritarian regimes β like the one currently in the Oval Office.
We need 12 million people to show up on March 28 to get to 3.5%. Will you be one of them?

What I always hear: βWe canβt afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.β
What I never hear: βWe canβt afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.β
Funny how that works.
So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.
That's roughly $1 billion per day.
$41,666,667 per hour.
$11,574 per second.
People do not want this.
They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.
Yβall are praising Tillis for going off on Noem because of the dog thing. I get it. Sheβs a psychopath. Tillis cares more about that dead dog than he does any human being. He voted against halting the war in Iran. Just remember that when youβre congratulating him on his strong worded performance
I just saw someone write that they sent Thom Tillis a thank you note for his speaking out.
With all due respect, Fuck Thom Tillis. He fucked us over for YEARS!! He hates Noem & Miller and heβs calling them out. Good. He still wonβt say anything against Felon47.
There are better uses for stamps.

Maybe we should draft the US Menβs Hockey team to war in Iran. I mean, if theyβre so patriotic, they should be happy to fight for thier country, right?
One of the unacknowledged advantages of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power.
The intentions of the oligarchs are fully exposed and more blatant than ever.
But remember: We outnumber the oligarchs.
Iβm surprised at the number of Red Wings fans who are surprised Larkin is trash.
The Wings will never win a Stanley Cup while he is captain. Knew that the moment he was given the C.
When the U.S. Supreme Court said that you could detain people based on their race, their accent, or the language they spokeβ¦ there is nothing to preclude ICE from doing that while youβre standing in line getting ready to cast a ballot.

This is an authoritarian power grab, full stop.
Nationalizing elections would put the executive branch in control of who votes and how. Thatβs how dictators rig outcomes, crush opposition, and assault democratic self-government.
This should alarm everyone: www.ms.now/news/trump-s...
Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

I'm seeing people wonder why ICE is going after Charlotte.
ICE has been at war with Charlotte's sheriff ever since he won in 2018.
We'd covered this at Bolts back in the day; this quote is from that sheriff:
βWhen the 8 African American sheriffs took over the largest counties in North Carolina, it became a threat to the good olβ boy system,β says the sheriff of Charlotte. These new sheriffs broke ties with ICE.
But GOP lawmakers cracked down this week, overbidding the governorβs veto to adopt this law:
Trump launches a military occupation of Charlotte, NC, to punish the city for having a Democratic governor and Democratic mayor. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...
Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.
The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.
They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.
