    There are 607 billionaires in America. There are 328,000,000 people in America. Right now those 607 people have more access and power in our democracy than the 328m combined. This isn’t about the dollar amount that people donate; it’s about what they get in return.

    And yet these ppl who create hateful laws like CA’s prop 187 never seem to learn their lesson. Oppression will always be met with resistance, creating new generations of leaders from the communities they attempt to degrade.
