If we tax billionaires and corporations adequately, taxes on literally everyone else can be reduced. Seems like a no brainer to me.

In case it's hard to read, the upper plate of the press has the following written on it: capitalism, monopoly, autocracy, and wage slavery. Is who you're voting for representing you or Mr. Pullman there?

The Canton Mill and now this— 1,000+ jobs & millions in tax revenue gone in 3 years. My plan: invest in climate-resilient infrastructure & renewable energy to create thousands of high-wage jobs that don't require a degree & can't be outsourced. We need real solutions on the table—not talking points.

Maybe instead of invading Greenland we put that money towards, oh I don't know, actually making lives better in the US? Just spit ballin' here...

Good info-graph on why Greenland is of so much perceived importance to this Administration. Also, nothing in this info-graph justifies invading our allies and sullying our reputation even more. Any cent spent on invading Greenland is money that should be spend domestically.

News in Minneapolis confirms that ICE is indeed going door to door. We are well past the "papers, please" phase and are now doing home inspections. Not long now until we see forced entry become the standard. I pray to God that I'm wrong.

This has been the plan for decades. Cut funding to education and preach anti-intellectualism. If you aren't asking questions, you aren't learning. If you aren't learning, you're not growing. If you're not growing, you're easily manipulated.

$170 billion for a para-military goon squad that isn't even addressing drug or human trafficking. For context, $40 billion annually would solve world hunger.

The murder of Renee Nicole Good by ICE is heinous. It unfortunately highlights the violence marginalized communities face & what happens when "leaders" actively feed it. The bare minimum we can give our vulnerable neighbors is to speak up against it. It's telling when you see who won't even do that.

Universal Health Care isn't radical: IT'S ALREADY THE STANDARD! When Americans are buying plane tickets and lodging to get medical procedures in other countries BECAUSE IT'S CHEAPER than getting it done stateside, you know the system is beyond broken.
