Every country has a powerful right wing that argue “if you tax the wealthy, they’ll leave”

We need to start calling their bluff.

We need to make it so the ultra wealthy either contribute enough to be a positive part of society, or be globally shunned and unable to extract further funds from us.

Genesis is only 19 years old, but when her mother was kidnapped by ICE, she was left with no choice but to care for her younger sister, pay the family’s bills, and do all this while going to school.

We cannot allow ICE to continue tearing families apart.

A friend of mine in Chicago just shared a video on IG of an ICE operation near her house. The operation happened just minutes before the neighborhood Halloween parade. ICE used tear gas and multiple parents had to wash their kids' (including toddlers) eyes out.

Only 50 years since women have been "allowed" to get a mortgage all by themselves withoutca man. That is all...50 years! 🤯
We haven't gotten much further.

I haven’t seen anyone talk about how Jane Doe - an Epstein survivor - just sued the Bank of New York Mellon for funding Epstein and failing to file a Suspicious Activity Report. A Mellon heir is the one who gave $130M to pay the troops. Seems bribey to me.

What congress? We don't have a congress at the moment. Maybe every state should hold new elections right now to replace all the gop who have quit their jobs!

I know this is obvious. And I know we all know this.
But if the President can raise taxes because an advert annoyed him, without even consulting Congress, then the US constitution is simply not functioning as intended.

Of course it is. They gave their puppet a toy to play with to keep him from saying anything stupid about their real plans.

No matter how much the media rushed to defend Karoline Leavitt the other day, it’s clear that the ballroom is, in fact, Trump’s top priority.

When the president is destroying national landmarks, murdering fishermen, raising prices because he's angry over a Reagan video, and kidnapping parents in front of their crying children is probably not an ideal time to have a lazy, completely incompetent legislative branch perpetually on vacation.

The donation will hardly make a dent in the billions of dollars used to pay troops every cycle.

A whole bunch of Americans died in a field in PA trying to stop Osama Bin Laden’s cronies from destroying the WH.

That asshole just destroyed the WH for him.

The terrorists must be so pleased.

TACO accomplished what Al Qaeda could not,

while all the mouth breathing “patriots” let him do it.
