Dear Trump voters, You wanted mass deportations. Well, hundreds of thousands of people have been deported. NOW WHAT? • Did you get that job they supposedly took from you? • Did grocery prices drop? • Is rent cheaper? • Did your health insurance premiums drop? #TrumpsAbuseOfPower 🧵

Kroger just announced the largest layoffs in its history, with plans to cut 3,000 employees as it ramps up use of AI. Reminder that Kroger has spent $12.3B on stock buybacks since 2019 and paid its CEO $14M last year — 417x its median worker's pay. AI is turbo-charging corporate greed.

The main reason I’m voting for & raising money for Abdul in spite of the concerns I have is that if Dems don’t flip the Senate, Trump will have at least 2 MORE Supreme Court nominees—likely 35-yr old Hitler Youth types—confirmed, along with 100+ other federal judges w/lifetime appointments.
