Why are ICE agents masked to begin with? Our law enforcement officers shouldn’t be anonymous. Ever.

What happened before Mayor Baraka’s arrest needs daylight. Did masked ICE agents let him in just so they could arrest and perp walk him to send a message of fear. Because that’s what it looks like. We’re sliding into fascism—and fast. And if we don’t stop it now, we may not get another chance.

“Abolish ICE” is the moderate position. Radical is “prosecute every ICE employee under RICO.”

May Day Reminder: The Federal Minimum Wage - in the richest country EVER - is still only $7.25/hr. UNACCEPTABLE.

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978? 100%? 500%? Try 1,085% Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Cal-Maine, the biggest egg producer, has been accused of using bird flu as cover to jack up prices and triple its profits from a year ago. It also received $22M in federal aid. While you're getting gouged at the grocery store, your tax dollars are subsidizing corporate greed.

Newsom: In 2023, Californians contributed $83.1 billion more to the federal government than we received back. And for your viewers: that other state—Texas—took $71.1 billion more than it contributed to the federal government. California: $83 billion, contributor. Texas: taker.

The good news is that the constitution provides ways for Congress and the Judiciary to reign in a power-hungry president. The bad news is those people are all scared of him.
