Meta paid an effective fed tax rate of 3.5% on its latest tax bill — its lowest on record. Mark Zuckerberg's net worth just hit $222 billion. And Meta is pumping $65 million into elections this year to boost AI friendly candidates. Now it's reportedly planning to lay off 15,000 workers. Hello?

What person in their right mind would send their children to die in a corrupt politician’s war? Evidently we no longer have to wonder.

This song is about survival, resistance, and the power of refusing to be silenced. History repeats itself when people stay quiet. Don’t stay quiet. Don’t look away.

21 Republicans voted against the funding bill. If Democrats were a united block it would have failed and DHS would NOT have been funded. But these 21 corporate Democrats, including my corrupt congressman @repbillfoster.bsky.social happily voted with the MAGA Trump agenda, and the vote passed.

7 democrats voted with MAGA republicans to push through ICE funding. If they voted no, it would’ve been blocked. Hakeem Jeffries can’t get his caucus in order to stop ICE fascists as they arrest without judicial warrants, kidnap children, & kill citizens. Indefensible (Image via @indivisible.org)

So to make sure I got this right—the man who bombed 7 nations, kidnapped a head of state & stole their oil, is threatening to invade Greenland to launch international war on Europe, while sending the military to wage domestic war with Americans—just accepted a second hand Nobel Peace prize. Got it.

MAGAs: The left is escalating the rhetoric by calling us Nazis Also MAGAs: Look at our new podium, featuring a Nazi slogan about the time Nazis wiped out an entire village in Czechoslovakia and killed up to 5000 innocent people in retaliation for one Nazi being killed. "One of ours, all of yours."

Trump will spend his weekend promoting a new golf course at his resort in Scotland – costing taxpayers an estimated $10 million. After this jaunt, he will have spent at least $52 million of taxpayer money on golf trips. If that’s not fraud, waste, and abuse, I don’t know what is.

Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants. Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this. Do not.

Never before in U.S. history has one man exercised such unbridled discretion affecting the lives of so many, while simultaneously preventing others — Congress, the courts, the American people — from having a say or even knowing what he’s going to do next. This is dictatorship.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

At no point in this entire article of 16 paragraphs does ABC mention that another cop killed this cop by shooting her in the back. Nor does it mention the name of the cop who killed this cop. Nor does it mention that the civilians involved never fired at them. ABC might as well be state media.

A reminder that the man who ignited violence at the George Floyd protests was identified by police as a white supremacist conspiring to harm the causes of racial justice. Felt like that’s important to share as we observe the Trump regime spew an onslaught of disinformation about LA.

White supremacist & son of a cop Phoenix Ikner killed two people & is being infantilized as "struggling with mental health from a rough childhood"—yet US Citizen Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a Latino American who committed no crime but is suffering in an El Salvador death camp. This is American fascism.

Florida: Juan Carlos Lopez-Gomez (20) is being held in the Leon County Jail, charged with illegally entering Florida as an “unauthorized alien." Lopez-Gomez is a U.S. Citizen, born in the USA. He showed his U.S. birth certificate in court. The judge held him in jail anyway. This is Fascism.

Chuck Schumer just cancelled his planned book tour this week over "security concerns." Here's the thing: A man who is too cowardly to face the American people is too cowardly to lead the American people. Schumer should continue his cancellation strategy & resign his Senate leadership & retire.

As Trump tries to dismantle the Department of Education, remember that his plan to cut the corporate tax rate to 15% would give the 100 largest corporations a tax cut larger than the entire department's K-12 budget. Really think about how twisted this all is.

No. Trump backed down because the markets were crashing. Mexico had already put 10,000 troops at the border in a deal four years ago with Biden, who didn’t have to threaten tariffs to get it.
