This is oligarchy. This is obscene. While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%. End this oligarchy.

If you need a mask to enforce the law, you don’t deserve a badge. Federal agents are snatching people off the streets—faces covered, names hidden. This isn’t safety. It’s secrecy. It’s not America. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/why-are-fe...

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."  -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

They were supposed to be deporting “gang members” and “criminals.” So far, they have kidnapped people working their day jobs and folks lawfully showing up for their immigration court appearances… It was always a lie.

In #Twillinggate #Newfoundland #Iceberg Alley has seen some amazing bergs. This enormous one was caught on video, just as it calved. Look at the waves from the ice movement and the shifting that takes place afterwards. What a capture.

and here we go.

"This case highlights the significant threat posed to U.S. citizens by frequent ICE errors, which are exacerbated when local law enforcement agencies participate in immigration enforcement...” www.bet.com/article/6rdn...

"Bishop Pham — who celebrated Mass at St. Joseph Cathedral before hopping on a bus to the federal building — said priests would return for similar 'walks in solidarity' at immigration court..."

Is it too late to give Sacha Baron Cohen an Oscar for this? Not a damn lie told. 🇺🇸

how's that 22 yr old grocery clerk with the weird eyebrows doing as dept of terrorisism lead?

THOU SHALT IMPEACH DONALD TRUMP BEFORE HE GETS YOU ALL KILLED.

No money for Medicaid or SNAP or museums or schools or sidewalks or gun violence prevention or art or libraries. Always money for war.

ICE striking cars and pulling guns on unarmed.

have we hit bottom yet?

Wake up Mac! Poconos is starting!

This type of thing has always been considered common in Russia, China, and other authoritarian countries around the globe. But this express activity has never been, until the age of trump, practiced by our government, on our people. But ours is no longer a “government of the people” #USDemocracy

At sunset, Cannon Beach glows with golden light as the narrow stone of Haystack Rock rises from the shore. It is a moment of calm and beauty. #BlueSkyArtShow #Narrow

Excuse me, but do they call you 'the Floofmeister'?

That Mike Lee federal land sale plan must be smothered to death immediately. He and his financial backers will never be happy until they’ve stripped the copper out of the country’s walls. And even then, they’ll hate everything and themselves because there will be nothing left to loot.

The U.S. Senate is currently considering a budget reconciliation bill that quietly includes language that could devastate our public lands. It would: - Make over 250 million acres of public land eligible for sale - Mandate the sale of at least 2 million acres of Forest Service and BLM land

oh, great. just freaking great.

Half a million Yemenis dead of famine. 150,000 killed in Sudan. Half a million Syrians killed. A UN report mentions Israel 188 times but never mentions the Islamist regime in Iran once. Arabs killing, dying oppressing Arabs. Where are the protests?
