The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020 — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%. It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low. We must unrig the system.

Meta paid its lowest effective federal tax rate in company history last year. Earlier this month, Meta began laying off 10% of its workforce. More than 8,000 people will lose jobs as it ramps up AI investment. Zuckerberg is now worth $215 billion. Second Gilded Age.

Ohio’s state sales tax exemption for data centers cost $1.6 BILLION in 2025 — 11x more than its original estimate. That’s $1.6 billion that could have gone to public schools and healthcare instead of Big Tech CEOs’ pockets. Is it any wonder communities are organizing against data centers?

Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft are all planning huge layoffs. Amazon got $17.5B in federal tax breaks last year. Jeff Bezos is worth $271B. Meta saved $13.7B in taxes. Mark Zuckerberg is worth $231B. Microsoft saved $12.5B last year. Its CEO is worth $1.3B. This is what a rigged economy looks like.

#TrumpVotesByMail So...it's wrong to vote by mail unless you are a Trump, then it's ok? Cool, cool. Trump wants to end voting by mail in the SAVE Act, and will hold up Congress till he gets it. Call your Senators at 202-224-3121 and tell them HELL NO on the SAVE Act!
Florida election records show Donald, Melania, and Barron Trump all voted by mail in the Florida Florida election records show Donald, Melania, and Barron Trump all voted by mail in the Florida HD-87 special election.

This is despite the fact that Trump calls voting by mail "cheating" and is trying to significantly restrict voting by mail in his SAVE America Act.

Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, and Tesla paid just 4.9% of their profits in federal corporate taxes in 2025. They have seen their collective tax bill drop by $95B thanks to two rounds of Trump tax cuts. Meanwhile, they've laid off thousands of workers. Trickle-down economics was always a scam.

Polymarket, the gambling app that lets users bet on just about anything, was being investigated for violating money laundering laws. Then Trump became president. The DOJ dropped its probe. And Don Jr. (who was an investor) got hired as an advisor to the company. Funny how that works, huh?

ICE and CBP agents seem to enjoy gratuitously breaking glass—from car windows to store fronts to homes. It’s an expression of unchecked power and dominance: “We’re in charge. We break and shatter what we want.” And nights of broken glass have been a harbinger of worse to come.

Amazon just announced another round of 16,000 layoffs, months after it laid off 14,000 workers. Reminder that Amazon CEO Andy Jassy raked in over $40M in 2024. And Amazon is spending at least $75 million producing and promoting the Melania documentary. The system is rigged.
