Finally…

Still waiting for snow.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

Waiting for snow.

Please share this post widely! Approximately half of the country's agricultural workers are undocumented. In California, it's 76% & we grow 2/3 the nation's fruit & nuts, 1/3 of the vegetables & produce 80% of the wine. Mass deportation is unbelievable stupid & cruel.

They’re nuts.

UPDATE: In less than 24 hours, after tens of thousands of moms called on Congress to hold the line and the federal courts stepped in, Trump's chaotic White House rescinded their disastrous memo to freeze funding that helps provide heath care, child care, school meals, housing assistance, and more.

Good news, Republicans— those jobs you wanted are available.

Don't know the original source but so very accurate.

Sending ICE agents to an elementary school is fucking evil. Harassing kids and teachers is not the answer to the issues we have with the border and immigration. It's not what most people voted for. abc7chicago.com/post/us-immi...

Also yes project 2025 was always the plan.

Everything is terrible except the view. The view is still wonderful.

This is a remarkable moment. Trump and Vance sit there in silence, as a bishop pleas with them to lean on their better angels and not follow through with their depraved campaign promises that target the LGBTQ+ community and immigrants. Never seen anything like this.
