If ashli babbitt's family can get $5 million after she literally broke into the Capitol to overturn an election, Renee Good's family should get at least triple that for ICE agents murdering her in the damn street.

Enjoin the outlet that aired the propaganda from cashing the check. Make the media production company and the outlet as co-conspirators and escrow funds transacted or promised.

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.

Something is seriously wrong. How many trademarks does his gaggle of tools control? The obvious: Donald Trump and his companies hold 119 trademarks in mainland China (plus 21 more in Hong Kong and Macau), giving him a larger intellectual property portfolio there than in the United States.

Who can ask about valid warrants? Any arresting, detaining, transporting or deporting requires due process and clarity of who, what, why, when and as sworn peace officers they have a duty to protect and defend the rule of law. If given an illegal order they have an obligation already.

Please stop overestimating what a democratic Congress can do. The oligarchs are spending money to make you think a Dem Congress can arrest people and hold trials and pass laws without a POTUS signature so that you’ll be disappointed when they don’t do stuff they can’t do. Don’t fall for it.
