•Waltons can write off their mansions
Why? B/c millionaires write tax law for billionaires. We need a Congress for working people—not the .1%

It costs ~$70 to produce a year’s supply of insulin. Yet, the average annual cost of insulin went from $2,864 in 2012 to $5,705 in 2016 to $12,000 in 2022.
That’s a 17,142% markup.😳 That isn’t inflation. It isn’t supply chain issues. It is 100% corporate greed.

Labor Day reminder: If the min wage increased at the rate of inflation & productivity since 1960 it'd be $26 today—not $7.25. Meaning—billionaires & corps have stolen at least $19/hour from working Americans for 60 years
We don't suffer a lack of resources—but an excess of greed

I attended an interfaith event Friday & the evangelical pastor lamented "America's lost her way b/c she forgot Jesus."
I asked, "As a Muslim I love Jesus too—but when did America 'follow' Jesus? During Native Genocide? Slavery? Jim Crow? Invading Iraq?"
Deafening silence ensued

In Idaho you can't donate organs from someone who died w/o their prior consent—but Idaho's new abortion bill would force an 11-year-old rape victim to have her rapists child w/o her consent.
In short, even a corpse in Idaho has more rights over its body than do women & girls.😳
BREAKING: The Supreme Court allows Idaho to enforce its strict abortion ban, even in medical emergencies

Remember, America isn't $32T in debt because the poor rely too much on welfare and pay too little tax—but because billionaires pay too little tax and rely too much on corporate welfare.

Two weeks ago Tempe, AZ police dove in to water to save a dog from drowning, and then did a media tour about how they're heroes for saving a dog.
Last week the Tempe, AZ police watched a Black man drown as he begged for help because "they can't swim."
I don't have the words.

One of the most horrifying realities of these masked Nazi terrorists is tomorrow they'll remove their mask, hide their swastika, & go to work alongside Black & brown & Jewish people & pretend like they're not out to commit genocide...& we have no way of knowing who they are.

•Cancel medical debt!
•Make insulin free!
Most of Developed World:
•What is student debt?
•What is medical debt?
•Insulin is already free!
What GOP call “socialism”—even conservative parties in most developed nations call a “human right.”
