Taxing billionaires out of existence may be the most critical domestic policy fight of our lifetimes.

Masked federal agents are terrorizing our communities — teargassing babies and pastors, kidnapping our neighbors and shipping them off to foreign torture prisons, and killing innocent people.

But we’re not powerless in this moment. In fact, we have an opportunity to rein in ICE this month.
