I'm an artist whose day job is working to make basic income a reality and I love to foster dogs. President of USBIG.

Disabled people are far more likely to be victims of abuse. We are forced into legislated poverty and made to depend on toxic people for our survival. Many “caregivers” will take advantage of the situation, putting us in increasingly dangerous situations. We deserve autonomy.

LRP you couldn't comprehend the sheer amount of locals i would hear from at my old place of work whose lives & livelihoods were SAVED, just by gettin that free cash from Dolly. and that was 10 YEARS AGO this fall. and they're STILL talking about how much receiving that money meant to them. UBI NOW

Dolly Parton represented the best of us. She lived a life full of empathy for others. She never lost touch with her roots and always showed a deep thoughtfulness for the wellbeing of others, especially through her dedication to inspiring a love of reading through her Imagination Library for kids. 😔💔

Disabled people are the canaries in the coal mine. We are far more reliant on infrastructure and the supply chain to survive. Natural disasters can and will kill us first. The power outage in Gary, Indiana is impacting people’s access to medicine and oxygen. Check on the disabled.

Dozens of gas-burning power plants are being built across the country, solely to power data centers. These plants could emit as much planet-warming pollution as half of all passenger vehicles in the entire country in a single YEAR. We need a data center moratorium — now.

"There has been a plunder of the commons... and they've been turned into sources of huge rental income. That is illegitimate, that is unjust, that has no moral principle justifying what's been happening and we should be very angry." — Guy Standing

Retraining as the only path forward for shifting economies does not work. Look where the coding generation is now - theyre some of the first on the chopping block now. People deserve REAL security through this #AI shift. No one deserves to navigate this without UBI

The Fourteenth Amendment, written in the blood of the Civil War, says in Section 4 that this is blatantly illegal: “[N]either the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States.”

AI is built on EVERYTHING humanity has produced. It’s our collective right to have a share of the wealth and a UBI would help give us security through this next economic shift. No AI Without UBI !

We've started a @change.org petition demanding leaders ensure people get a share of AI wealth. AI companies are getting rich off our data, and displacing our jobs at the same time. A Universal Basic Income is a must in the AI revolution. Sign the petition today & share! #AI #Jobs c.org/D6bd6M7Gdz

No, it’s not ‘normal’ for humans to be in competition all the time. It’s not normal to work for most of your waking hours of the day. It’s not normal to be stressed 24/7. Stop taking a few hundred years of capitalism and pretending that’s just how being human is. It’s not.

✍️ It's official! The Millionaires Tax is signed into law. HUGE THANK YOU to Governor Ferguson and all the lawmakers and advocates who have gotten us to this point. This fight isn't over, but our movement is only getting stronger.

Big Tech AI is stealing from us, building their data centers with our tax dollars, they're raising our utility bills and destroying our land. And they're trying to sell us the biggest scam of snake oil that they can sell our knowledge back to us? We're being scammed so hard and we need a UBI.
