87% of jobs at Amazon pay less than $20 an hour while half of its warehouse workers struggle to cover food and housing costs.
Meanwhile, Jeff Bezos saw his net worth increase by $7.9 million an hour in 2023.
Is this the "free market" Bezos is so desperate to defend?

The key is to engage over 3.5% of the country, a cross-section of society—clergy, kids, grandmas, teachers) using DIVERSE & CREATIVE tactics, with women in leadership.

There is no such actual thing as presidential immunity.
It's NOWHERE in the Constitution.

SCOTUS made it up more in 2024 to protect *their* boss and benefactor, Trump.
It is a cancerous, monarchical monstrosity.
