Amazon just announced another round of 16,000 layoffs, months after it laid off 14,000 workers.

Reminder that Amazon CEO Andy Jassy raked in over $40M in 2024.

And Amazon is spending at least $75 million producing and promoting the Melania documentary.

The system is rigged.

So you voted for Trump because.. Democrats like to kill babies, are pro crime, fund abortions, throw open the borders, give free money to everyone who wants it, give free health care to immigrants, and send your child home a different gender.
Well played, considering not one of those things is true.

ICE is upset that ICE isn't welcome in restaurants after ICE ordered food at a restaurant, ate it, then arrested restaurant employees, and ICE believes this is someone else's fault, do I have that right?

We stood shoulder to shoulder with the U.S. in war and crisis. Trump repaid that loyalty with threats, tariffs & insults. That’s not leadership it’s betrayal!

You don’t threaten your closest ally & expect respect. You earn isolation!

We’re not your Punching Bag!!

I just voted NO on the spending package because it still includes DHS funding.

NO blank check for ICE to continue lawless killings. Let’s get real changes made.

And yet Elon Musk just got a pay package worth $1 trillion.

Still don't think American capitalism is off the rails?
