We wouldn’t be where we are right now if Trump and the rest of the Epstein class had been held accountable for their crimes.

Trump’s billionaire allies will now own CNN, Fox News, CBS, WaPo, WSJ and NY Post — plus 185+ local tv stations and news in 100 markets. They also control X, Facebook, Instagram, Threads, WhatsApp, TikTok, Truth and Twitch. This is all by design to manipulate and surveil us. Pay attention.

Deductibles should be $0 Premiums should be $0 Copays should be $0 Prescriptions should be $0 We could have guaranteed healthcare with Medicare for All and save up to $450B and 68,000 lives per year if politicians answered to us instead of billionaires and corporate donors.

Always voting to boost your stock portfolio or increase the profits of the corporations funding your campaign is never a coincidence — it’s always corruption. 👉🏻Ban stock members of Congress from trading stocks. 👉🏻Ban corporations and billionaires from buying elections.

Could it be the: a) unaffordable food, housing and healthcare b) masked, armed ICE agents terrorizing cities c) allegations of child rape and assault in the Epstein files d) taking bribes, running scams, and grifting off the presidency ✅ e) all of the above

If Democrats aren’t whipping votes against ICE funding, and letting conservative members vote to pass it, it means the Democratic Party supports ICE funding. If your opposition to fascism is performative, then you don’t actually oppose fascism.

Just 34 people control 12% of income in the U.S. and people still think immigrants are the problem.

ICE beat up and choked out a kid, who is a U.S. citizen, who was filming them, stole his phone, and sold it.

These agents are the violent criminals we should be locking up.

The U.S. just kidnapped a foreign leader and his wife. Venezuela doesn’t produce Fentanyl, but they do have the world’s largest oil reserves. This is the war the $23 million Big Oil gave to Trump bought.

“He raped me.” “Donald J Trump had raped her along with Jeffrey Epstein.” “She was found with her head ‘blown off’… there was no way it was a suicide.” Now we’re starting to see why Trump was hiding the Epstein files, and it probably gets much worse.

The 6 richest men in the world are all Trump allies. They control your algorithms and data on X, TikTok, Twitch, Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp, Threads, and YouTube. Just in case you’re wondering why more isn’t done to stop right-wing bots and misinformation on social media.

Companies should be required to explain why they can’t pay living wages, and why taxpayers need to subsidize their profits when they force their employees to rely on SNAP.

Over 71 million Americans are paid less than a living wage, and are forced into social safety nets like SNAP. If you think too many people are receiving SNAP benefits, don’t shame them. Shame their employers paying them poverty wages and forcing taxpayers to subsidize the rest.

1. Reagan’s speech is real 2. It’s public domain 3. Americans pay the cost of the added 10% tariffs, not Canadians 4. Trump keeps lying because he thinks you’re all too stupid to fact check 5. The average family will pay an extra $4900 this year because his tariffs

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Start charging AI companies, in full, for the energy they use and the pollution they cause, and they’ll quickly find a way to be more energy efficient and environmentally friendly.

Trump’s allies now control X, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, & TikTok. They own Fox News, CBS, WaPo, WSJ & NY Post. They own Sinclair Broadcasting which has 200 tv stations and local news in 100 markets. “Freedom of speech” is now what Trump and his billionaire pals say it is.

Donald Trump, who is actively covering up a pedophile ring that implicates himself and his friends, is helping the Catholic Church cover up their child sex abuse too. They say “protect kids,” but what they actually mean is “protect pedophiles.”
