“They got money for wars, but can’t feed the poor.” — Tupac said it years ago… and here we are.
The Pentagon is now asking for an additional $200 BILLION for this war.
We always find the money for war.
But when it comes to housing, healthcare, or feeding people? Suddenly it’s crickets.
US National Debt hit $37 trillion in August.
Then $38 trillion in October.
Now $39 trillion in March.
One day after the Supreme Court lifted the ban on racial profiling, federal agents swarmed a car in Van Nuys.
Four masked agents with guns drawn yanked people out, slammed them to the ground, and pointed a weapon at a pregnant woman.
There is no justification for this. None.
Wyoming legislators have proposed one of the most extreme anti-library bills nationwide. It would effectively eliminate teen sections in public & school libraries under threat of $50,000 fines for "sexually explicit" materials.
The bill ITSELF is sexually explicit.

“You a U.S. citizen?”
“Uh yes” then let me go..
at least he didn't do something truly reckless like try to forgive student loans
Donald Trump said no new wars.
Remember that tonight.

Well, I had an interesting Sunday night, how 'bout you?
AOC: We heard that we should take your word that Medicaid will be protected — that we should trust you that no one is going to be affected by this. But as a woman, the word was given that my rights would not be taken away by the Supreme Court — and that wasn’t true.
Elbows all the way up 🇨🇦

No, russia's attack on Sumy wasn't 'a mistake.' No one accidentally uses a cluster munition warhead against a crowded city center on a major holiday. Neither was the bombing of the Kryvyi Rih playground a mistake, nor were the filmed murders of POWs.
russia systematically uses terrorism as a weapon.
20,000 more (including 4000 overflow) join Bernie Sanders, AOC and the fight against oligarchy— this time in Utah!
This is an unstoppable movement!

Good morning everyone

So grateful for all of you fighting, never giving up.

I'm 60-something.
Each day, the world's richest man threatens to take away Social Security that I earned AND a cruel president wipes out more of my 401K savings.
Destroying both public and private income at the same time.
Trump's Golden Age is a nightmare for those in their Golden Years.
