“Billionaires create wealth.” No, workers do that. The word you’re looking for is “hoard.”

To be honest, I haven't been able to focus as much on my police accountability agenda, partially because I don't sit on the community safety committee and as housing chair I've had my hands full. But I ran for City Council twice on police accountability issues & you can expect to hear more from me!
I did see a caddy with a diamond in the back Where I grew up a 10 year old caddy wasn't exactly rare or expensive. Republicans hate it when non rich people get welfare.
The FBI has ADMITTED it has the Epstein Files redaction TRAINING VIDEOS that an anonymous FBI source told me about last year. TODD BLANCHE was required to release these under the Epstein Files Transparency Act. TODD BLANCHE is unfit to serve as Attorney General. VOTE NO. @judiciarydems.senate.gov
It's astonishing that at this time in American history it is conceivable that the U.S. Supreme Court might help a convicted felon steal an election.

I have never seen someone so flummoxed by the concept of feeding people lmao
Will Stancil@whstancil.bsky.social · last wk.Politics aside, do people believe city-run grocery stores with deeply discounted prices are a good POLICY idea? What are they intended to accomplish, in your view? What problem do they solve? Would you implement them if not running for election? I'm sincerely curious in people's answers here.
While Montanans face higher prices across the board, politicians are doing favors for their corporate donors in Congress. @samforstag.bsky.social knows its past time for real change, which is why he signed onto our #UnrigWashington campaign. Visit samformontana.com to learn more.
One thing I appreciate about Candace Avalos is that she doesn't just identify problems, she sticks with the work long enough to build actual policy. loom.ly/on6bgCc

One person getting extra food from the food bank that maybe they don’t need is a far smaller problem than one person hoarding wealth and causing thousands to go without food. 
Some people see a person expressing themselves & immediately think, “How can I make this more acceptable?” Babe, nobody hired you as my ghostwriter.
A diary isn’t supposed to be evidence against you. It’s supposed to be the one place you’re allowed to be unfinished.
Don't you hate it when someone asks for your opinion, then spends twenty minutes explaining why your opinion is wrong? Babe, you wanted agreement, not conversation.
I don't remember learning how to read people. I remember learning that getting it wrong had consequences.
People think hypervigilance means constantly looking over ur shoulder. Sometimes it just means noticing the room went quiet before everyone else did
Americans love stories about individual scammers. We seem a lot less interested in systems that quietly fail millions of people at a time.
One suspicious car has somehow become a better argument than empty stomachs.
Progressives will feed a hundred people in case one needs it. MAGA will cut off 100 people if one abuses it.
Everyone knows someone who "saw a Mercedes at the food bank," yet somehow nobody ever wonders whether the driver lost their job, inherited the car, borrowed it, sleeps in it, or bought it before life fell apart. One suspicious car has somehow become a better argument than empty stomachs.
We’re in the middle of a brutal wildfire season. Thank you to all of the firefighters working long hours in difficult conditions to keep Oregon safe. For updates: www.oregon.gov/osfm/wildfir...

The entire Democratic establishment and its corporate donors are rallying at the last second, along with $40+ million from AIPAC, to push Stevens over the edge. Tells you they're terrified of what Abdul represents. Hope Michiganders can see through it.
This lady always orders 2 cinnamon rolls when I'm getting my coffee. Today she ordered 1 & the owner wouldn't let her pay & I've been grieving for them both all day.
