Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022.

That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations.

So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

To the world:
We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media hereβ€”but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom.

It’s wild watching every advanced agency developed during my lifetime be destroyed on purpose, by people who want to profit from it and cheered on by those who will be hurt the most because they don't understand how things work.

The last time the US set tariffs this high, it was 1930 -- and it sparked a global trade war that caused international trade to PLUMMET.

My quilt, β€œThe Price of Democracy”, a statement about how some people used the price of eggs as an excuse not to vote for a woman president in the year 2024, knowing that the other choice would try to destroy democracy here and abroad.

Things will get worse before they get better. But we have thrown off our tyrants and our oppressors before.

We will hold the line, hand in hand with each other, from one end of this nation to the other.

I’m a Democrat. This is my district and I was at this meeting. We are gerrymandered to Hell. This was my neighbors and community letting MAGA know that we can get loud too.

I was there. I drove my car from my house less than a mile away. I sat with my neighbors and former school teachers. We were not brought in or paid but we are mad as HELL.
