Today in
Conversations with a republican
"immigrants don't pay taxes"
Immigrants pay about $100 billion in taxes annually.
"They can't pay taxes they don't have a social security number"
They get a social within two weeks of filing USCIS
"They don't file"
Over 90% file
The ignorance is palpable

WATCH THIS. He gets it right
Nottoway Plantation: the so-called “White Castle”, burned down. With it, a monument to whitewashed brutality.
We don’t need romanticized nostalgia for slavery. We need truth. Let this be the end of pretending these places were anything but what they were: crime scenes.

AOC: Fox News and the right-wing would have you believe that these American values are something out of The Communist Manifesto. But let me tell you Fox News, I don’t believe in healthcare, labor, and human rights because I’m a Marxist.. I believe it because I was a waitress.

Hey billionaires: Stop looking within the public policy realm for a price to end Trump’s wealth-destroying tariffs because a.) he wants the revenue, period; and b.) if there IS an escape route it’s probably through the corrupt purchase of Trump memecoins. My latest.

The president won’t clarify what his price for ending his idiotic trade war is. Maybe that’s because it’s something he dare not say out loud.
