Slavery has always been the goal.

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 85th day out of the last 97.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Lawyers allege cover-up after fed shoots at man during D.C. traffic stop Neither D.C. police nor the Department of Homeland Security have explained why the Homeland Security agent fired his weapon.

'Washington Post' editorials omit a key disclosure: Bezos' financial ties Three times in the past two weeks, editorials at the 'Washington Post' failed to disclose that they focused on matters in which owner Jeff Bezos had a material interest.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

Image shows a screenshot of a Perfect Union post that reads: MORE PERFECT UNION @perfectunion Showing a repost from Dre @CoachDre QB that says: “Did anyone else know that Al could surveil students and send automatic messages to police with no warning or protections. This child almost lost his life” The original post that Dre replied to below from philip lewis & @Phil_Lewis_ reads: “Baltimore high school student Taki Allen was swarmed by police after an artificial intelligence system apparently mistook his bag of Doritos for a gun”

Held up at gunpoint bc AI told police he had a gun WTF!!!

"They made me get on my knees, put my hands behind my back, and cuffed me. They searched me, and they figured out I had nothing. Then, they went over to where I was standing and found a bag of chips on the floor.” -Kenwood student Taki Allen

Trump bought the Argentina election by threatening to withhold U.S. funds unless his preferred candidate won. We can’t let the same playbook unfold here next week. Trump and his administration have already been making threats about the upcoming U.S. elections, and the warning signs are clear.

Of course. Chris Gober (a Republican who previously served as chief counsel for tech billionaire Elon Musk’s America PAC) announced his bid for Congress in Texas today.

The 37 ballroom donors won’t be remembered for generosity, but for funding a monument to authoritarian vanity during a shutdown, at a venue nicknamed after a sex trafficker, while Americans wonder how they’ll eat. History keeps receipts & their names aren’t coming off those walls

Reminder: November 4th is extremely important, don’t forget to vote!

Proof that the U.S. government social media accounts are in fact white nationalist propaganda accounts, funded by our tax dollars.

You’ve got to see this…

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

I don’t really think the framers intended for a president to have the power to slap a tariff on products from a particular country because he didn’t like a TV commercial they ran about him, but I suppose it is presently up to the Supreme Ct to decide how far the Mad King can go.

When the president is destroying national landmarks, murdering fishermen, raising prices because he's angry over a Reagan video, and kidnapping parents in front of their crying children is probably not an ideal time to have a lazy, completely incompetent legislative branch perpetually on vacation.

Supporters of Peace in Gaza Must Work to Ensure That No One Will Be Forced to Leave ​​Israeli and US leaders must commit to the Trump peace plan’s promise that no one will be expelled from Gaza.

Ending the displacement of Palestinians as well as the mass killing and destruction of Gaza’s infrastructure are clear requirements for anything approaching peace, writes @david-vine.bsky.social.

Guess it’s time to drop DoorDash too! They donated $1,000,000 to the Cuomo campaign. Leave it to corporations to try to undermine the public

This is how they steal the elections.

Trump Administration Moves to Deport Abrego Garcia to Liberia by End of October The government said Liberia had agreed to the deportation.

Could they just leave this guy alone? The Trump administration has informed a federal judge in Maryland that it plans to deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Liberia as soon as October 31.

Laws mean nothing to the Trump regime.

This is very good

Who could have seen this coming

Is the goal of this extended recess to show us that we don't actually need them? That things can, more or less, function without our tax dollars going into their pockets?

GOP will not end the shutdown because:

-they don’t want to take the blame alone for gutting Medicaid and killing the ACA.

-they need dem votes on this CR to blame them for the negative impact of the bill they authored.

-they need an excuse (albeit inappropriate) to not swear in Adelita Grijalva.

We’ve received a lot of questions about Trump’s demolition of the White House East Wing.

Here’s how the process is supposed to work:

2. Historic Review: The NPS, as custodian of the White House under the Presidential Residence Act and National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), must review all alterations for compliance with Section 106 of the NHPA.

Thou shalt not support a man who bulldozes the White House to build himself a golden ballroom whilst the government is shut down because he doesn’t want the financial records tying him to Jeffrey Epstein to come out.
