'Russian-linked accounts' spent $150k on FB ads during the '16 election & it was made out to be the most egregious foreign influence of a US election in history by liberal media.

AIPAC has DIRECTLY given US politicians $18 million this cycle alone (plus $100 million pledged).

Capitalism has destroyed the family unit by (1) forcing parents into the workplace for 80-120 hrs/wk, (2) making basic human needs unaffordable, (3) forcing debt on all, and (4) equating human worth with $. Generations of children are left on their own to navigate this toxicity.

The capitalist ruling class in the US came to the realization decades ago that turning public housing residents into prison slave laborers was a profitable business decision... and took direct steps to make that a reality. Now they're doing the same thing with the homeless.

It’s important we don’t do this alone.

(Also it’s much more fun getting bullied when you can laugh with pals about it)

Rent is unaffordable for half of Americans. People are routinely skipping meals, borrowing from family and putting off needed medical care just to make rent. Anyone who tells you the economy is good is lying to you.

This isn't to suggest you shouldn't exercise your 2A rights whenever possible. By all means, please do. Pool money if necessary. Train, respect it, be safe, responsible, transparent, and follow laws. We shouldn't allow capitalists/fascists to have a monopoly on gun ownership.

We Will Not Go Back The lower you fall on the socioeconomic ladder, the more you'll realize how meaningless these things are. With the exception of maybe gun ownership, which is still limited by purchasing power. Many can't see beyond the weekly struggle to acquire food & shelter under capitalism.

31 people have died awaiting trial at Rikers since Eric Adams became mayor. If you’re wondering why you didn’t hear about it—that’s intentional—Eric Adams administration ended the policy of informing the public of the deaths.

USians are the most armed populace in history but also the most controlled. This is a testament to the power of propaganda, which creates widespread division via manufactured fear, a collective slave mentality disguised as work ethic, and blind worship of ruling-class authorities

This shit is so cut and dry and is exemplary of the disconnect between the perceived rights of your second amendment and the reality we actually live in where the state can extrajudicially execute you .

When governments represent the interests of the masses, they hold the rich accountable. The US government was set up in the exact opposite manner, so it exists to protect wealth & corruption while punishing the masses thru various means on a daily basis.
