For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13. For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26. Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency. It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

CNN’s @kaitlancollins.bsky.social : “Trump said 🇨🇦 is going to be implementing a $1.3 billion border plan... I should note that's actually something that was announced back in December.”

Call to action: 50 protests, 50 states, one day. #3E #USprotests #endimpunity #endautogenocide #endoligarchy #Feb5

From this morning:

Guardian vs. NYT. You know who's going to call things by their true names and who's not even gonna give you syrup with that waffle. Guardian: "Elon Musk waded into controversy on Monday when he gave back-to-back fascist-style salutes....

Day 1: Plain white eggs: $4.33 Gas: $2.88/gallon ✅Elon Musk gave the “Heil Hitler” salute at the DC parade after Trump’s inauguration. ✅The Trump administration shut down the border to asylum seekers. ✅Meta forced millions of Facebook users to follow Trump.
