Health insurance companies stole $20.5 billion from taxpayers last year. Privatizing Medicare breeds corruption, the buying of politicians, and a transfer of wealth to insurance CEOs and their investors while seniors pay more to receive less. levernews.com/the-20-billion…

Last year, Washington state enacted a wealth tax on capital gains profits of the richest .2%. It was fought tooth and nail by billionaire-funded groups & passed by one vote. In one year, it's raised $850 million for child care & school construction—triple what was expected. 🧵

Socialists aren’t driven by envy of the “more successful.” We are socialists because we want workers to have what’s rightfully theirs — and we know a world with less greed and envy, and where everyone has what they need, is possible. jacobin.com/2023/04/social…

As an aside, only some governors attract attention nationally, and their record after securing a governing majority has nothing to do with it. Tim Walz is a mild-mannered former social studies teacher from a rural area, so he doesn't excite anyone. His record should!

Soviet Russia’s food shortages were frequently held up as proof of the Communist system’s failure to provide for its citizens. But here in hyper-capitalist America, tens of millions of people are going hungry. jacobin.com/2023/05/americ…

@M_A_Frasca @fandsf It might help to have someone read it to you. Or an audio book type thing. Poems, traditionally were not meant to be read but heard.

@M_A_Frasca @fandsf 😕there are some poems that read just like music lyrics. And some, like those of William Carlos Williams that are prose with interesting line breaks. Pauses that give you a feel for the rhythms of human thought. I wrote my Project Exodus like mini scientific field reports.

If you’re enjoying your weekend, thank the labor movement. And if you’re winding down with a movie or TV show, thank the working people who create the stories we love. I stand with @WGAWest, @WGAEast, @SAGAFTRA, and #DGA in their fight.
