WOW! Karma works in mysterious ways, in this case protecting copyright from a person who thinks he's 'above' the law? Do you support this legal 'action' by the 'iconic' Kenny Loggins, YES or no? 🙋‍♂️ #NobodyIsAboveTheLaw #SueTrump #ProtectArtistsRightsFromThieves ⤵️

There is NO actual reason not to have basic income. And just pages and pages of good ones.

The Guaranteed Income Pilot Program Act has been reintroduced by Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman. It would launch a national experiment that would provide a monthly income floor to 20,000 Americans for 3 years. It is cosponsored by: LaMonica McIver (NJ-10), Rashida Tlaib (MI-12), Danny K. Davis

Here’s how the government shutdown ends.

TAX THE RICH!!

Wow

I want you to rewatch and reread this 18 times. Donald Trump is the first president in US history to deny food to citizens. Us.

Wow. What an event. Thank you to the thousands who packed a stadium in Queens, NY to say: New York is not for sale. Together we are going to take on the oligarchs and the political establishment and elect Zohran as the next mayor of New York City.

America deserves politicians who fight for us, not for the oligarchs.

We need universal basic income for many reasons, but one that is perhaps the most important right now is how much it would strengthen democracy. Universalism is cohesive. Unconditionality grows trust. More access to resources and less instability means more civic participation

Trump is throwing 15 million Americans off health care. He's doubling premiums for 20 million Americans. Now, he's refusing to use a $5 billion emergency SNAP fund to keep 16 million kids from going hungry. But the 1% keep $1 trillion in tax breaks. Oligarchy in action.

Let’s be clear: Donald Trump has the power to ensure 40 million people don’t go hungry during the shutdown. But he wishes to inflict the maximum pain on those who can least afford it. He won’t fund food. But he’s happy to build a golden ballroom.

Pretty much every major problem in the world would be solved by taxing billionaires out of existence

“Socialists are on the precipice of controlling one of the most powerful posts in the country. And this isn’t just about New York. Liberal voters are shifting left—and fast.” The The New Yorker interviews Daniel Denvir, host of the Jacobin podcast The Dig.

Jeff Bezos has become $227 billion richer since 2012 increasing his wealth by 1,135% while Amazon spends over $12 million a year to prevent workers from joining a union.

The USDA has $6B in contingency reserves for occasions like this. The Trump regime is making a purely political choice (an illegal one of course) to stop paying SNAP benefits. They believe that if 40M Americans start going hungry, Dems could get the blame. They're gambling lives.

And our public capacities are degraded and depleted.
