Billionaires will fight tooth and nail against paying taxes that would barely impact their lifestyle, but could literally transform millions of lives. They owe society for all they've acquired, yet they have no loyalty or sense of obligation to society. And we've just accepted this as normal.

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING NEWS: Was just passed this from a fellow service academy grad. A Coast Guard Academy graduate posted this. They are reporting that ICE entered base housing and took a USCG spouse. I can’t confirm this but I’m calling for answers from the Coast Guard and Congress. This is unacceptable.

THIS IS WILD‼️ Florida got $67M from a Medicaid fraud settlement. Instead of using it for actual health care, Casey DeSantis funneled $10M to a “charity” she controls. That “charity” passed it to anti-abortion and anti-marijuana groups—who then helped fund GOP campaigns. Both measures lost!

There is no ambiguity. It is illegal to use taxpayer money to pay a foreign country to imprison people. Secretary Rubio owes us answers about this administration's blatant disregard for the law.

Nazis created propaganda films as a means to deceive the public about death camps. One film showed Jewish prisoners happy and thriving. The camp was described as a “spa town” where elderly Jews could “retire in safety.” Right now, we are seeing the same thing with El Salvador and America.

We've got Bill Kristol saying abolish ICE and standing up for trans people, David Brooks quoting the communist manifesto, and Sen. Van Hollen forcing a dictator to give proof of life of a hostage in a death camp. Meanwhile, Dems like Newsom are doing podcasts with fascists. Make it make sense.

As I envisioned - based on the vague SCOTUS ruling that failed to define what a “reasonable” amount of notice is - it appears Trump is giving 24 or 48 hours notice before deporting people under the AEA before disappearing them. He will argue it’s sufficient notice, & will refuse to return them.
