In about 14 hours I'll be in Maryland

I once clicked on an alt-text to read,
and the alt-text was "Image" 🙃

Do not do this.
That's not how it works, at all.

Fantastic news! We've reached 1 million votes! But please keep sharing and voting in case some votes are invalid!

EU citizens, please sign this petition to ban so-called "conversion therapy" in the EU. It's a practice that's extremely harmful towards LGBTQ+ people.

The site is a little slow, but keep trying!

It's already banned in some countries but we need a EU wide ban!

We now have eight countries past their thresholds, and we have at least 1,000,000 total votes.

So keep signing & voting!

@AlexanderKingsbury @neptune22222 where do you think wealth comes from? People have to earn the wealth. For the rich, their wages have kept going up, but not for the poor

@AlexanderKingsbury @neptune22222 no you actually didn't answer the question asked.

I asked you how many billions you are ABLE to spend. I didn't ask how many you are allowed to. Jeff Bezos can spend hundreds of billions. You are ABLE to spend 0. Therefore you are not equal to Jeff Bezos

Next time actually answer the question dumbass

As you can see here over the past several decades, as the Billionaires have been increasing their wealth immensely, American workers' real wages have not increased.

@AlexanderKingsbury @neptune22222 is it 0?

@AlexanderKingsbury @neptune22222 how many billions of dollars are you able to spend influencing politicians?

@AlexanderKingsbury @neptune22222

Jeff Bezos may only get one vote like me but that doesn't mean he has equal influence to me in the political system. He has billions of dollars he can spend on campaigning for a candidate convincing other people to vote for them. If he calls up a politician they will take his call. I can't do any of these things.

"The bottom 50% of Americans held just 2.4% of U.S. wealth in 2024, down from 3.5% in 1990 and hitting an all-time low of 0.4% in 2011.

Since 2022, the bottom 50% has experienced a steady decline in its share of the nation’s total net worth, dropping quarter over quarter."

So when the BOTTOM 50% of the population's wealth is declining where do you think that wealth is going?

@AlexanderKingsbury @neptune22222 that's an interesting theory but when you just look around at our society you will see that our people are in fact getting poorer. Housing prices are skyrocketing, rents are increasing, health care costs are increasing, food prices are increasing, the social safety net is being demolished, and wages are stagnating,all while these Billionaires, who are actively influencing our politicians that pass these policies, are getting richer

@AlexanderKingsbury @neptune22222 it's a problem because the Billionaires are increasing their wealth at the expense of the rest of society. They're getting richer while we are getting poorer

Every American thinks they are a temporarily-embarrassed millionaire

Can't be overstated how fucked up it is that Black folk came up with a word to express people being aware of the oppression of other people and it's now targeted by far right governments globally as something evil that must be destroyed

If you don't hear from me for some time just know this is why
