they start wars to use the weapons they bought for billions from billionaires and then say we need to spend more billions to buy more weapons.
Two great reasons to pass Bernie Sanders' 5% billionaire wealth tax:
1. $4.4 TRILLION in revenue for education, healthcare, childcare, and housing
2. Less money for the billionaires rigging our economy, warping our politics, and controlling our media
That's called a win-win.

Being against Trump isnβt enough. We need leaders.
Yes, I want Democrats to win the midterms. But I want Democrats who will tax the rich, work for universal public health insurance, end subsidies for coal and oil and instead support renewables, will abolish ICE and help immigrants live in peace, make unionizing easier, and so on.

I don't think people understand that if you shut down the government, ICE and CBP do NOT shut down. They're funded by supplemental money from the BBB. That's why dems are separating the DHS funding bill and asking for restrictions. I want them to demand a rescission of that funding or shut DHS down

"One of the people detained on Wednesday was Micheline Ntumba, a mother of four who was followed home by ICE agents after she dropped her child off at school. Ntumba has a pending asylum application and no criminal record."
Pure thuggery. The actions of an authoritarian state.
AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are whatβs paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.
