I just want to live in a country where the leader can’t enrich themselves with our tax dollars, the government does what the people want, and the wealthy have to follow the laws.

You know, like a democracy.

Four Big Tech Companies Avoid $51 Billion in Taxes in Wake of One Big Beautiful Bill Act Four of the corporations whose CEOs flanked President Trump at his 2025 inauguration ceremony have now disclosed that they collectively received $51 billion in federal tax breaks in 2025, much of that...

Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, and Tesla collectively received $51 billion in tax breaks, thanks to the Trump and GOP corporate tax cuts signed into law last year.

Together they effectively paid a federal tax rate of 4.9%, according to @itep.org.

YouTube video by Cheri Jacobus Trump JUST shut down passport processing at public libraries just as he requires passport for voting

Trump's SAVE Act forces voter ID such as a passport to vote, while at the same time Trump's State Dept shuts down certain public libraries to cease processing passport applications! This is just like DeJoy removing mailboxes in Dem areas in the pandemic to thwart mail-in voting.

A New Governing Ecosystem Is Evolving | NOEMA Institutions of citizen deliberation are a counterweight to partisan electoral politics.

Ideas : Democracy renewal through Citizen Deliberation.

"The corollary in political life is to balance the power of special interests with the time, money and organizational capacity to dominate electoral democracy at the expense of the average person."

Extreme Inequality Presages The Revolt Against It | NOEMA Even the Davos elites are reading the tea leaves.

"The top 10% own 93% of all equities.
A similar gap in wealth ownership exists elsewhere.

In Europe, the top 10% own nearly 60% of all wealth, while the bottom 50% own 5%.

In Latin America, the richest 10% own 77% of all wealth while the bottom 50% own 1%."

New Mexico approves comprehensive probe of Epstein’s Zorro Ranch The so-called truth commission seeks to identify ranch guests and state officials who may have known what was going on at the 7,600-acre property or taken part in alleged sexual abuse in its hacienda-...

"The legislation, which passed New Mexico's House of Representatives by a unanimous vote, could pose risks to any additional politicians linked to Epstein"

LOL except how those unions combined represent 8 million people, and there are 924 billionaires in the United States. So it doesn't really shake out when you look at the per capita spend, does it?

"When inequality is too vast to last, it doesn’t. The skyrocketing valuations of Big Tech and the staggering concentration of wealth accruing to its titans only presage a revolt against the depredations of disparity."

#billionaires have too much power

Billionaires spend $2.6 billion & get a $1 TRILLION TAX BREAK.

Imagine buying a stock at $100 & getting back $38,461 in a few years.

But it's A TRILLION & it's not a stock paying it. IT'S YOU.

The billionaires are BUYING ELECTIONS TO ROB YOUR $.

Oh & they KNOW that will lose you your healthcare.

This is how much they are stealing from "We the people"

Tracker Newsletter: ICE in Focus As federal agents carry out Trump’s program of mass deportation, this limited-series newsletter will track what’s happening and what’s coming next.

Communities deserve to know that they might be next. People have a right to know who their neighbors are, especially when they amount to an invading force.

Presidential CORRUPTION is way over the top.

"The authorities are deliberately sabotaging the SMO!" - Russian patriots have concluded that the country is being run by "traitors and spies."

They're Coming for Our Daughters The conservative plan to shrink girls’ futures

The Heritage Foundation has released a 250-year roadmap to “save America.”

The document is a how-to guide for subjugating girls & young women: a detailed plan to push them out of college, funnel them into early marriage and motherhood, and then trap them there.

Textbook. If you are surprised, it is because this shit usually, at least not in the last 150 years, does not happen in the US. And the past is mild in comparison

We pay nearly all the bills while the Americans get to decide what happens next?

US administrations have always played a double game. Exhorting Europe to take more responsibility for its own defense... but always making sure Europe stayed sufficiently divided not to become a unified rival. Trump has blown up this game, presenting us with a unique opportunity.

It hasn’t gone unnoticed that all four people arrested today, including two journalists, were Black.

And now we find out the charge is “conspiracy to violate civil rights,” a statute rooted in the Ku Klux Klan Act.

Sit with that.

A brand new Super PAC — Elect Chicago Women — just dropped hundreds of thousands of dollars into this race. Why?

Because it’s actually a front for AIPAC dark money. And they’re doing everything they can to buy my race:

This is right wing media in a nutshell. Fear sells, especially to ignorant white people. May I live to see the day Fox News goes down in flames.

The NFL Is “Socialist” on Purpose, and It Exposes Republican Economic Stupidity The NFL proves that rules, referees, and “redistribution” are the only way any game, including the American economy, actually works…

"For capitalism to work in a way that doesn’t produce oligarchs and monopolies, it must be regulated. Capitalism, after all, is just a game that people play using money and mutually agreed-upon rules. Just like football."

The Republican Women Senators Who Cosponsored the SAVE America Act We're coming for every one of them. 60% of voting-age women are under attack, and we are fighting back.

UPDATE February 13 2026

"The 19th Amendment forbids denying any citizen the vote on account of sex, and a name change must never become the weapon that destroys that guarantee. "

The problem with Palantir is not that it is American as much as it is providing the US government, tools to spy on basically anyone using the internet. It was founded by extreme right people like Peter Thiel, who are big donors to Trump. Liberty and free speech are not part of their vocabulary.

This is the way forward. Palantir is a hostile agent.

27 Billion, sorry we don't have staff anymore for mandated oversight work.

In a well regulated, governed country, that's a BIG failure.

In a corrupt to the bone third world country that's a BIG success.

Republicans Will Detonate Their Secret Weapon at the Midnight Hour to Stop Women from Voting The Republican Senate will pass the SAVE Act at the midnight hour before the midterms, and tens of millions of women will discover their names don’t match their birth certificates when fixing the cris...

"The SAVE Act passed the House in April, and 69 million American women are about to discover their names don’t match their birth certificates while the deadline to fix the problem has already closed."

They’re Coming for Your Vote. Make Them Pay at the Polls. From the suffrage parade to the SAVE Act, the objective has remained unchanged: fracture women’s political power through incremental barriers, a strategy history shows fails when women move together.

Are you one of these women ?

"The Brennan Center for Justice reports that 34 percent of American women lack immediate access to citizenship documents reflecting their current legal name."

"Any woman whose name changed through marriage or divorce is at risk"

We Need To Talk About The Carolina Coup. What can we do about it?

"Compliance in the face of openly and corruptly partisan courts does not preserve democratic norms. It facilitates authoritarian consolidation. Every time we follow the old rules while the other side rewrites them, we make the next theft easier."
