The President of the United States unilaterally levied a tax on all of us and is redistributing our taxes to a core segment of his supporters.
Trump: "I'm delighted to announce this afternoon that the US will be taking a small portion of the hundreds of billions of dollars we receive in tariffs ... and we're going to be giving and providing it to the farmers in economic assistance. We love our farmers. The farmers like me ... $12 billion"

Ismael Ayala-Uribe came to the US at 4 yrs old & worked down the street from my parents house where he was detained in an immigration sweep. He died in ICE custody from lack of medical care.
This man died from being at the wrong place at the wrong time because of #IceLawlessness, cruelty & racism.

In South Minneapolis, Minnesota, nearly two dozen neighbors confronted and surrounded ICE goons after rapid-response alerts were issued. The goons were questioning an East African man when the situation escalated, and they eventually left the area without making any arrests.

The officer and the agent in charge must be held immediately accountable. Assaulting a sitting Congress member, especially after she clearly identified herself as such, is a felony. (To be safe, bring 'em up on state charges, too.)

Layoffs have hit over 1.1M so far this year — the most since the pandemic.
Yet corporate profits continue to hit record highs, with corporations increasingly spending those earnings on stock buybacks to enrich execs and shareholders.
This is what a rigged economy looks like.

The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. We’ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesn’t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.
