It had to do with power, not race. Racism must have both present. Your example has one. maga trolls are dumb.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

The idea that you need meat for protein is like still believing the earth is flat — easy to debunk, yet stubbornly recycled by those too slow to update their thinking.

Dr. Lisa Calderón (@lisafordenver.bsky.social) is right: 2G makes elections more complicated, more expensive, and rewards corporate-backed candidates.
Denver needs leaders who represent *people*, not money. Vote NO on 2G.
Join Dr. Lisa Calderón vote NO on Question 2G. "This measure would make our local races more expensive, more complicated, and tilt the field toward big-money candidates over grassroots progressives... Vote NO on 2G to keep elections people-powered, not money-driven."

Nearly 8 in 10 Americans agree that spending by wealthy donors and corporations in our elections gives rise to corruption — including majorities of Republican and independent voters.

Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

We must overturn Citizens United.

John Hickenlooper has voted to approve trump's cabinet nominees 10 times this year and doesn't support universal health care. He is way too moderate to be Colorado's senator.

@breslinforsenate.bsky.social is the strong progressive leader that we need in Congress.

End the 6 week paid vacation you’ve taken. Join your Democratic colleagues and negotiate an end to this shutdown.

71.5% of ICE detainees have no criminal convictions, according to government data.

Don’t fall for Trump’s lies about targeting the “worst of the worst.”

As Trump's regime terrorizes communities to fill up detention centers, remember that some of his biggest donors are private prison corporations.

Everyone loves animals, right up until you ask people to stop eating & exploiting them. Then suddenly they’re diminished to protein, cheese & outdated traditions 😕

Full disclosure- I am not a Newsom fan, but on this point, we agree. What normalizes troll behavior is pretending it doesn't exist and ignoring it until we have nazi trolls running things. Salute to the women of color who are running Newsom's social media accounts, they are the real heroes here.

WELKER: Part of your tactic is to imitate some of what we see from online from President Trump. Do you risk normalizing that behavior?

NEWSOM: Quite the contrary. The whole expression was to not allow it to be normalized. He's dressing up as the Pope! It's madness. And so I put a mirror up to it.

99% of us on the wrong side of their doors

They get tax breaks, we pay twice, and fight their wars

And we wonder why they cut scholarships and aid

It’s designed to keep the status quo, we’re the new slaves
