WOW. Two things from this article:

1) Twitter/X is *paying* Chaya Raichik / Libs of TikTok for their terrorism. 

2) Thank you to Deb Haaland, Tyler Cherry, and everyone in the federal government working on our behalf toward a brighter future. As much as I spend time pointing out US corruption, I know some people are genuinely trying to make things better. It’s so important.

 The cost of everything these past couple years is corporate greed (100%). 
Defenders of Washington seem to use "inflation" and "supply chain" as if these things are out of our control. But, corporations in nearly every sector - from utilities to food - have been making record profit while more Americans find themselves impoverished. Let's be real. Get more angry about those stock buy-backs. Keep fighting. USA corruption is staggering, so let's make the rich pay or get rid of $ entirely.

 #housing crisis in #Massachusetts 😡 
Imagine being trapped inside your home for two wks, unable to get deliveries, even. This is the situation for numerous pple in a MA apartment building. The elevator at Ruth Lillian Barkley housing complex had been acting up well before this current breakdown. GBH News reported on it a week ago. And $100k had been allocated for emergency service. We ought to spend this cash to have people there every day, providing company and bringing deliveries to residents. 
 Holy shit. PAY ATTENTION, friends. #Albertsons and #Kroger are set to merge, so they would be owned largely by countries like #SaudiArabia in the Middle East 😰

This CANNOT be allowed. Remember, SA has significant control over #Twitter and is jailing people for political speech. Now they want to control our food? I know #Walmart is a major grocer right now, but that doesn’t comfort me.
