The Trump regime's repeated attacks on "DEI," "wokeness," and the trans community have one clear purpose: If we are angry at each other, we don't look up to see how big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains.

Under the House GOP’s budget plan, the lowest-income taxpayers would see a LOSS of $1,125. The richest 0.1 percent of taxpayers, on the other hand, would see a more than $180,000 GAIN. This is trickle down economics on steroids.

This flew under the radar, but Trump revoked a minimum wage hike for companies that contract with the government. An estimated 390,000 workers will now see significant pay cuts. It's not surprising that Trump's populism is fake, but it's hardly ever been more clear.

Last year, the CFPB classified "buy-now-pay-later" apps in the same category as credit cards to better protect consumers. Is it any wonder that Big Tech billionaires pushed so hard to gut the CFPB? More Silicon Valley "innovation."

Gutting the Dept. of Education would be devastating to our nation's students — and our teachers. MAGA Republicans have been waging a war on public school teachers for years. They want public schools to fail so they can pour the money into private, for-profit schools.

I have no sympathy for Israelis, nor for Israel supporters who say they "feel unsafe". This isn't because I am uncaring, it's because I know any sympathy I might point in that direction will be harnessed and used to murder Palestinians, start wars, and destroy free speech rights.

Mahmoud Khalil expressed his political point of view peacefully. That’s supposed to be permitted in a democracy. If this egregious assault on civil liberties stands, what’s to stop Trump from arresting American citizens who support any cause his regime doesn’t like?

Why is Trump waging a war on the Department of Education? Because he knows that his biggest enemies are educators and younger generations of learners who are unafraid to speak truth to power. Attacks on education are central to the fascist playbook.
