One of the biggest legacies of 9/11 was the rapid growth of mass surveillance. Whether it's the PATRIOT Act, Palantir, or Flock cameras, Americans don't want more erosions of our civil liberties in the name of "security."

Twenty-five years after the attacks on 9/11, we remember the victims, the families who lost loved ones, and the first responders who sacrificed everything to save others. Texans carry their memories with us to this day.

25 years ago, terrorists killed nearly 3,000 people, including 2,753 New Yorkers. As we remember that terrible day, let us also remember the first responders, office workers and strangers who ran toward danger to help each other.

Trump's attacks on our civil liberties didn't come out of nowhere. The groundwork for his Orwellian surveillance state was laid by the post-9/11 PATRIOT Act. Only one Senator at the time had the foresight to see what it would unleash.

In the 25 years since 9/11, the United States has spent $8 trillion+ on wars that have taken millions of lives in the name of fighting "terror." Can you imagine if we had instead invested those funds here on climate, health care, housing, and education?

Just a random reminder that over 50 members of Congress collectively own millions of dollars in defense contractor stocks. They stand to personally profit from wars that enrich these contractors. Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption. Watch how they vote this week.

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1.5 trillion. Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government. Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits. The military industrial complex is cheering today.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market. Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. The evidence of corporate consolidation is everywhere. It means more power for them and less freedom for you.

The Trump regime is withholding $259 million in Medicaid funding from Minnesota over loose allegations of "fraud." Meanwhile, Trump has pardoned multiple convicted fraudsters, including several who gave money to his campaign and Super PAC. The "law and order" president.

AI chipmaker Nvidia reported $120 billion in profits over the last year, in part thanks to Big Tech’s massive data centers. Meanwhile, monthly electricity costs have skyrocketed by as much as 267% in areas near data centers. Big Tech barons are getting rich while everyone else pays the price.

People don't want data centers polluting their cities. They don't want masked thugs terrorizing their neighbors. They don't want warehouses being turned into ICE prisons. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

When oligarchs talk of “personal liberties and free markets” they mean their own liberties to become even richer and more powerful. When oligarchs speak of “freedom,” what they actually seek is freedom from accountability. Know the truth.

Last March, a 23 year old named Ruben Ray Martinez was shot and killed by an ICE agent. He was a U.S. citizen from San Antonio. ICE did not disclose for 8 months that they were the ones who shot Martinez. Americans deserve immediate answers and an independent investigation of the shooting.

Trump has suffered major losses recently — in both federal courts and the court of public opinion. It's why he lashes out at the media, spreads lies, attacks his political enemies, and tries to rig elections. These are the actions of a tyrant with his back against the wall. Be warned.
