The ‘17 $2T tax cut gave $.83 of every $ to the very richest corporations & individuals. The tax rate has been the primary weapon of oligarchy in creating a massive transfer of wealth into the hands of 1% over the last 40 years. Do not let them get away with not discussing taxes.

No, we need to speak up and let our politicians know it’s what we demand. Politics is created by buzz. You start spreading a conversation and letting candidates know that you support the ones who stand for the things you support.

Why are we talking about lowering stimulus checks for the middle class and poor, but not increasing the tax rate for billionaires?

#WealthTax: 2% on people who make over $50M a year, 1% more on people who make over $1B a year. We should not be protecting billionaires at a time like this.

I don’t think so. Not at all. You never vote for someone because you expect to agree with everything they do. Biden has already done a lot of things I’m excited about. And where we disagree with him, as citizens we should say so. That’s how democracy works.

“White House open to narrowing who qualifies for stimulus checks...” Not okay. It’s not just about how much money people make; it’s also about how little help people have received over the last year. Help people enough to make a difference! washingtonpost.com/us-policy…

Dignity & honor at the Capitol tonight as the Prez & First Lady, others show respects to fallen Capitol policeman Sicknick. Such solemn moments are an important part of our healing from the trauma of Jan 6 & all the chaos that preceded it. It will take time but we will get there.

Prayers for Aleksei Navalny. Now that we have a new administration, hopefully @SecBlinken will be able to exert influence to secure his safety and release.

Not just as a society; also as individuals. As Gandhi said, “The end is inherent in the means.” We have to call out the “tough, cruel and tribal” within ourselves as much as within the society. They will remain outside as long as they remain inside.

THIS. This is what’s wrong with America... “A Post analysis found 45 of the 50 biggest
U.S. companies turned a profit since March. The majority of firms cut staff and gave the bulk of profits to shareholders.”washingtonpost.com/graphics/…
