There are men alive right now who have never been charged with anything.
Who give commencement speeches.
Who sit on hospital boards.
Who are photographed at charity galas in cities where the poor sleep in doorways two blocks from the venue.
Their names appear in the right places. Their calls are returned.
Their crimes are managed by lawyers whose fees alone could feed a village for a year.
And somewhere, a nineteen-year-old who threw a stone at an armored vehicle is in a cell with no lawyer and a file that says "terrorist."
The difference between those two men is not what they did.
It is who they did it to and how much money stood between them and consequences.

This is the most concise deconstruction of the entire system you’ll see. It goes right to the foundation of the political system we have been living in for centuries. From enclosure to liberal democracy, the whole corrupt package designed to serve a ruling class.

You thought the war on terror had nothing to do with you.
You thought it was about deserts and beards and names you could not pronounce.
Then you woke up in a city where every corner has a camera.
Every whistleblower is hunted.
Every protester is catalogued.
They built the cage far away.
Then realized it fit perfectly over you.

I would much rather live in a society where everyone has healthcare, housing, and food than a society where 3 billionaires own more wealth than half the country.

I do not care if your last name is Trump or Clinton, if you trafficked and abused people, you should be held accountable.
It should be easy for both political parties to say this.
This is not a partisan issue.

It takes 50 votes to abolish the filibuster.
If Republicans really wanted to reopen the government, they could abolish that.
They don’t because the filibuster allows both parties to get nothing done and blame the other side.

Reminder: the billionaire class is organizing, the working class should organize, too.

I was sabotaged by someone in my own party for calling for Palestinian peace and statehood.
The corrupt elite are trying to take me down for exposing their Epstein ties.
I get publicly mocked by both sides for being a lone vote against defense contractor handouts.
The elite see me as a threat to their greed & power, so they're doing everything they can to stop me. Because they can't control me like they control other members. I won't be intimidated.
