The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

For every fascist authoritarian, there was a Chamberlain who tried appeasement, or a Schumer who opted for stern letters over dogged resistance.

Fascism thrives in the face of timid opposition.

This is why voters are desperate for candidates who will truly challenge Trump and the oligarchs.

How about we signal that we will let our t-bills mature and not reinvest?

@rgillies.bsky.social “About 60% of U.S. crude oil imports are from Canada, and 85% of U.S. electricity imports are from Canada.” What proportion of their total requirement do we fill?
