This holiday season remember that the cancelled child tax credit—which slashed childhood poverty by 30%—would've cost only $1.7T over the next decade, while the ever expanding Defense Budget will cost around $9T over the next decade.
Children are suffering and starving now because corporate bought politicians would rather buy bombs than bread.
Thank GOP & Manchin/Sinema for this cruelty & grotesquely misplaced priorities. A reminder that our standard must be justice above all—or we all suffer.
FRIENDS: We are MeidasTouch, the unapologetically pro-democracy organization many of you know from Twitter, YouTube and elsewhere.
With the chaos at Twitter, we want to build our platform here on Mastodon to make sure we can continue to spread our message.
Can you please BOOST this post, FOLLOW our account and encourage your followers to do the same?
Every news outlet should stand up a Mastondon instance for their reporters & staff.
It’ll be great to see [email protected] or whatever domain they want to use.
Built in verification. Every reporter for the Washington Post on a washpo domain. Every reporter for the New York Times on an NYTimes domain. Etc, etc.
Plus the “local” feed for each instance becomes a feed of all the posts from that institution mixed together — providing extra discovery.
Many of the journalists Elon suspended today on Twitter are here on #Mastodon. Please follow and boost:

Coffee drinkers! Listen! Starbucks workers nationwide are starting a 3-day strike today (Friday 12/16) as part of their effort to unionize.
How can you help? Don't cross the picket line. Get your coffee elsewhere. (Preferably at independent coffee shops. Long live small biz).
And spread the word! Make this message viral. Let's hold billionaire corps accountable because worker's rights are human rights. Let's go.
