How is being dependent on businesses that poison our food, water, and air any better than being dependent on government?

Brokers and hedge fund managers are walking around NYC with lots of cocaine on them. Somehow they never seem to get chased, tased, beat up or killed by the police.

We ask 18yo kids to sign up for a massive financial commitment with student loans. They end up trapped in debt with absurd interest rates.
And. We. Do. Nothing.
Keep the poor/middle class "right where they belong" and limiting upward mobility.
It's oppression plain and simple.

We will not rest until we see the end of white supremacy and the creation of a world where black people can live with dignity, respect and prosperity.
We call on the solidarity of all oppressed people of color, the marginalized, & the working class to join us in this struggle.

We understand that achieving this will not be easy, but we are committed to the struggle. We can build a new world order that truly reflects the interests of black people.

THE WORD: The Black New World Order is a utopian communist society that aims to bring about true liberation for black people. We believe that the only way to achieve this is through the total ownership of land, the return of stolen black land, & the full ownership of resources.

What's so bad about giving everyone healthcare? That's a pro-life position. (Or at least it should be)
Nationalizing healthcare is a no-brainer.

Since the elites can meet at Davos once a year, I say we convene an annual meeting of the global working class so we can decide what OUR agenda is for the world moving forward. Hint: it doesn't include billionaires.

What Ron DeSantis is doing in Florida is just a rehearsal for what he intends to do with the entire country if he becomes president.
Y'all realize that, right?

Girl, shut up.
Where were you when the THUG you endorsed for President called on the Proud Boys to "stand back and stand by," and then they stormed the Capitol?
Do us all a favor. Sit this one out.

In 2021, I called for BLM and Antifa to be declared domestic terrorist organizations.
Tonight, with the violence and rioting in Atlanta, I’m renewing that call.
We must treat these thugs just like we treat any other group using political violence to intimidate their enemies. twitter.com/RepMTG/status/…

About 4000 Americans dead in 8 days. So losing about 500 to Covid daily and this is likely a low estimate. Stay safe.

Let's be clear, with private health care.
You will get a bill.
You will wait longer.
And the staffing crisis will get worse.
A private system is not innovation like Justin Trudeau claims — it will make things worse.

.06% is 200,000 Americans dying annually from COVID
It's probably higher than that
But when put in this context, the way our country's owners see it, it's acceptable
But when 1 of the 3,000+ a week is you or yours, it matters
Everyone matters!

The US empire is telling Moscow "I'm the craziest motherfucker around, I'll keep ramping up the brinkmanship looking you right in the eye and daring you to use nukes," while telling the rest of the world "I am the voice of sanity that you should all look to for leadership."

Biden’s apparent mishandling of classified documents is a disaster. It may not be as willful and corruptly intended as Trump’s, but it’s nevertheless a serious breach of the responsibilities he undertook in his prior roles.

After health insurance companies raised prices 24% last year & made nearly $12 billion in profits last quarter, 38% of Americans now report they or a family member put off needed medical care because it was too expensive. We must end this corporate greed. We need #MedicareForAll.

If AOC wants to present a unified Dem party as means of mounting a strong opposition to the far right, she’s not even pretending to be the same candidate that ran in 2018. There can be no leverage without breaking ranks.#WorkersStrikeBack
