a lot of people i’ve interacted with still think the whole chiquita death squads thing was only a rumor so I wanted to point out that they owned up to it and got fined.

https://www.justice.gov/archive/opa/pr/2007/March/07_nsd_161.html

so a corporation literally funded right wing terrorists to kill innocent people and only got fined. $25 million. chiquita has annual revenues of $3 billion. that should really have been a wake up call to anyone thinking corporations are treated unfairly, but it wasn’t. this is capitalism.

Pepsi is also directly responsible for the coup of Allende. Allende was actually supposed to win the 1963 election, but was unable to bc corporations like Pepsi poured millions into his opponent’s campaign. In return, his opponent promised to protect their investments. In 1970, when Allende finally won, the CEO of PepsiCo explicitly demanded President Nixon stage a coup against Allende bc as a socialist, he would threaten Pepsi’s and other foreign investments. Pressured by these corporations, Nixon eventually took action https://www.theguardian.com/business/1998/nov/08/observerbusiness.theobserver

Y’all should be paying attention to the midterms.

running for a senate seat in Texas is the zodaic killer himself ted cruz and new comer to the senate beto o rourke.

now lemme tell you about my man

Beto O’ Rourke

he’s a democrat, something texas desperately needs. He:

also notable: unlike cruz, beto would not have voted to confirm kavanaugh.

beto being elected would be huge for texas. as someone from there, lemme tell you, he’s someone the state sorely needs. texas is in desperate need of a democrat and Beto is our best bet. in recent polls, cruz was shown to be ahead, but not by much. cruz. cannot. win.

there are ways you can help! if you live in Texas, you can sign up to volunteer. you can volunteer to do things such as send texts, emails, knock on doors. typical campaign stuff.

if you don’t live in Texas, you can donate. you don’t have to live in the state to donate. donating is one of the best ways you can support him because it funds his campaign! as mentioned above, he doesn’t take PAC money. he is 100% grassroots campaign, funded by people, for people.

i’m going to reiterate this. any us citizen* can donate. any. doesn’t matter where you live in the united states. so, I urge. if you don’t live in texas, donate. the average donation amount is $35, but any amount will help.

*if you don’t live in the united states/aren’t a citizen, legally you cannot donate. i don’t make the rules guys.

if you can’t donate, please reblog this so others can see it. people can’t vote in midterms if they don’t know who their nominees are.

this midterm election is crucial. getting Beto into the senate is crucial. reblog or donate!

The other bright side to just the fact that Beto O’ Rourke is running and doing so well, just the existence of his campaign, even if he loses is putting a massive drain on Republican funding to try and keep Cruz in power, so even if you think he doesn’t stand a chance or he’s not worth the effort of your vote or your money but you support him theoretically. You can still get the consolation prize of sucking up Republican funds that were intended to shore up other candidates just to try and keep Texas from turning blue.

Man I’m not even from Texas but I love this guy!!!

Also?! Is a babe

Seriously! I’m no longer in Texas, but this guy had my vote. Every vote especially counts in Texas, where it’s so fucking huge.

I LOVE BETO. Fellow Texans, you really should vote for him. He is a good guy and would be good for us.
