Undocumented immigrants pay almost $100 billion in taxes each year. The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes each year. Stop pretending that immigrants are the ones taking advantage of taxpayers.

NEW: Unbelievable. A seemingly endless line of tanks & other military vehicles arrive in DC ahead of next week's parade. They departed Texas 5 days ago. What a colossal waste of time, money & military resources. All for a President who has shown zero respect for service personnel. (🎥 DW)

Pete Hesgeth — who wants to rename the Navy ship that honors Medgar Evers, a WWII veteran who landed on Omaha Beach — is using that same beach for a photo op in which he promises we will “never forget” the veterans there. What an unbelievable asshole.

ICE is an organization of thugs. The world should be calling them out on their behaviour, which includes apprehending people without due process.

ICE is the January 6 insurrectionists all over again. Only instead of attacking law enforcement, they are pretending to be law enforcement. And instead of just terrorizing at the Capitol, they are doing it EVERYWHERE.

A teacher breaks down after ICE causes multiple schools to lockdown during graduation ceremonies and parents to flee for their lives. Only the soulless aren’t hurting from what is happening in our country. This is affecting all of us.

Taking away life-saving medication from millions of the world's poorest children, with no notice, is one of the most monstrous things our government could do. Never forget it.

Welcome to America, where protesting illegal kidnappings without due process is an insurrection, but attacking the nation’s Capitol is not.

On this 6 June, I’m reposting this picture of an interview with 103 yo MG (ret) John Raaen. He was there on D-day, a new West Point graduate. With the Rangers on Omaha Beach. The real “CPT Miller.” And he’s still kicking ass.

It’s worth learning about Leonard Leo and his affect on SCOTUS choices and political outcomes.

Who is Leonard Leo? He's a lawyer, but he's never argued a case in court. He's never held elected office. But for years he rebuilt the American legal system, resulting in the Supreme Court's right-wing supermajority. By @andykroll.bsky.social‬ (Published Oct. 2023)

ICE — or Trump’s Secret Police? Add this to the fact that Trump’s government is apparently compiling a database to build profiles on American citizens.

Trump's tariffs, tax cuts, and austerity budget are a windfall for the super-rich at the expense of the poor. This is what class warfare looks like. [Via @4taxfairness.bsky.social‬]
