Since the pandemic, billionaires have captured $1.7 million for every $1 the bottom 90% of the world population gained in newly created global wealth. So about that revolution…


It’s wild that there’s hardly any documentaries, movies, school lessons etc about John Brown. They want white kids to learn #history and not feel like all white people sucked, then start teaching them about the (few but nonetheless very real) ones that didn’t


Biggest endorsement for the value of higher education, I have seen in recent times

Bonus map: 2024 if everyone expect non-college educated whites could vote And this really just shows how utterly reliant Trump and the GOP are on that voting bloc

Notice how it’s always “vote according to Biblical values!” until it comes to welcoming the immigrant, helping the poor, feeding the hungry, bringing healthcare to the sick, forgiving debts, caring for our planet, laying down our swords, or loving our neighbors.

Then Jesus said unto the sick, “you better have insurance.” Then Jesus said unto the stranger, “are you here legally?” Then Jesus said unto the hungry, “my taxes better not be paying for these loaves and fishes.” Then Jesus said unto the poor, “this is your own fault.”


The #Bears are who we thought they were

The biggest change I've noticed is that for the last three days, people are treating Trump appropriately: as an old, tired, racist and sexist man who is basically a failing comic with no new material trying to gin up a laugh by repeating his greatest hits.


Remember when Argentina’s elite visited the US Bureau of Indian Affairs to learn how to kill, expropriate and enslave its indigenous population, and enacted white supremacist immigration policies to position itself as “the Paris of South America”?

Reminder that Argentina was once as rich as the US and Buenos Aires was "the Paris of South America". So what happened? Here's how it looked — and what it teaches us... (thread) 🧵

Sonya Massey was somebody. She was treated like nothing by the officers who shot her after she called them for help. Sonya should still be alive today. We say ‘Black lives matter’ because it’s clear that to many, our lives don’t matter. Sonya mattered. We matter.
