At least $12 *trillion* from global oligarchs is hidden offshore in secret tax havens worldwide. And it is headquartered right here in the USA.
Instead of cutting lifesaving programs like the VA, Medicaid, and food stamps, we should be cracking down on tax havens for the ultra-rich.

Your daughter has died serving her country, and now you have to hide her identity because the President and his supporters will predictably scapegoat her for the accident.

As bodies are still being pulled from the Potomac, Donald Trump and his grossly incompetent administration are blaming this deadly crash on minorities and white women. This is disgusting, racist and sexist. Their reckless actions have consequences and they should be held accountable.

The plane crash outside of Washington last night is devastating.
My thoughts are with the families and friends of all of those killed.
I also want to thank the first responders who did an outstanding job responding to this tragedy.

Dear the Media,
When something bad happens in an area under the executive branch's purview, and the White House goes "uh... a Black or gay person must've done it," you do not need to accept that. You're allowed to follow up in pursuit of the factual reason, not the bigoted excuse.
Love,

Cutting off grants to academia, pausing clinical trials, etc., is key to this administration’s plan to kill higher education. Targeting intellectuals is textbook fascism.
