Amazon Web Services hosts massive surveillance systems for both ICE and DHS. Citizens Bank provides nearly $1 trillion in credit & bonds to private prison companies. AT&T has a $147 million contract to provide communications services to DHS. Know who is profiting from ICE’s cruelty.

This is how our government has been corrupted: 1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office 2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor 3) Donors make huge profit 4) Repeat We must get big money out of politics. It is the root of our dysfunction.

Republican logic: Hold the majority, refuse to negotiate, go on vacation, blame Democrats for the shutdown. FACT: @housedemocrats.bsky.social have been showing up to work ready to stop the shutdown and save health care. Republicans have not.

We do not deploy American forces against Americans in our own cities. Our military is not trained for domestic law enforcement. It’s illegal and un-American.

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022. That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations. So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

Whenever law enforcement agents are given a quota of a specific number of people to arrest or detain, especially with the WH policy director screaming at their superiors to hit those target numbers, bad things are going to happen. Quotas always result in civil rights violations.

I think it’s notable that ICE isn’t conducting raids in red states, but is instead targeting deep blue states with big migrant communities that will fight back. They want violence to justify more violence. This is fascism 101. We should laugh at them and treat them like the cowards they are.

Tyranny requires constant effort. Oppression is the mask of fear. Authority is brittle. And most importantly: you are never truly alone when standing up to authoritarianism. You have friends everywhere.

Last Friday, Trump's EPA shut down a Biden-era website mapping locations of dangerous chemical plants. The chemical industry, which gave over $1M to Trump's inauguration, heavily lobbied the Trump administration to scrap the website. See how this works?

The Government’s Chemical Disaster Tracking Tool Just Went Dark

The chemical lobby demanded Trump make the locations of high-risk chemical plants secret. The EPA did just that.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

Missouri does NOT have a capital gains tax. But the federal tax code does. So what the GOP's bill would do, is allow wealthy people to get reimbursed w/ YOUR state tax dollars for what THEY paid to Feds. It's a shell game where the rich win, you lose, and Washington DC gets paid.
