When You’re a Billionaire, Your Hobbies Can Slash Your Tax Bill Thoroughbred horses, auto racing, massive ranches, luxury hotels. The hobbies and side businesses of the ultrawealthy create huge write-offs that can let them get away with paying little or no income ...

When you hear of a billionaire losing money on a pricey hobby or side business — whether it's a race horse or a newspaper — remember that those losses can actually create huge write-offs that let the ultrarich get away with paying little or no income tax.

Brent Hennrich is running against KKK sympathizer, MGP.

Goodbye, @gluesenkampperez.house.gov
@bhennrich.bsky.social seems to be much more aligned with our values and basic human decency.

Quick round up:

- the government is covering up evidence the president is a pedophile
- he’s openly taking bribes from foreign governments
- his masked agents are shooting citizens in the streets
- the FBI is helping him steal the election
- he’s threatening war against multiple allies

Morale plummeting among ICE agents over long hours, quotas and public hatred: reports

Politicians gotta start calling for Miller to go. Right now.

The ass kissing of Trump by execs of Apple and Amazon and others coupled with ongoing silence from many in the tech and biotech and science areas about ICE and related evil activities is extremely disappointing.

Exactly right.

Bovino's leaving? Great, get Noem to resign.

Noem resigns? Great, defund and dismantle ICE.

Go after Stephen Miller too. Bring charges against ICE thugs at the state and local level. Lawsuits. New state laws restricting them.

Every possible angle.

Making anyone who voted yes on Money for Murder pay the price is merely a first step. We must blast the echo the oppo to beat the oppo thinking into oblivion & demand anyone we vote for govern in our interests, not appease billionaires.

Minneapolis Is Going on Offense Against ICE We spoke to a Minneapolis organizer about the community-organizing infrastructure there in response to ICE, why targeting corporations that profit from ICE is working, and how other cities could do the same in their fight against ICE terror.

Woke up this morning to multiple news headlines pushed to my various devices by multiple news outlets… yet not one was about yet another extrajudicial execution conducted by ICE death squads in occupied Minneapolis. But if I need "6 tips for shoveling snow," good to know that WaPo's got me coverd.

Stop the Weakened ALPR Bill: SB 6002 Stop the Weakened ALPR Bill: SB 6002 BY MONDAY, JAN 26 AT 5PM Overview An amendment was added to Senate Bill 6002 that would extend the retention time of data collected by license plate readers from ...

WA STATE: Take action ASAP to stop the weakened ALPR bill! A new amendment would expand data retention from 72 hours to 21 days. Even without this amendment, SB 6002 still fails to include key protections. Tell Senate to oppose this by Mon at 5pm. 👉Template + links: tinyurl.com/oppose-6002-...

PSA: Somebody is posting false reports to ICE tracking apps in Seattle. It’s possibly right-wing trolls or ICE themselves.

This one, posted today, included an AI generated photo of ICE at a 7-11. Use caution before sharing.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

Here's an easy action you can take right now: Add this phone # for @waisn.bsky.social to your contacts so you know where to call in ICE activity if you see it: 1-844-724-3737. Acronym SALUTE helps you remember most useful things to document & share: Size, Action, Location, Uniform, Time, Equipment.

SEEING IS BELIEVING

DHS claims the car being chased rammed the ICE vehicle. The video shows the opposite.

📌 A father and son, a US citizen, are chased. The teen is beaten and seriously injured. The father is deported.

DHS lied. The video tells the truth. Excellent reporting by Antonia Hylton.

Losing my mind at the Dems with their billionaire backers and powerful friends who have come up with the brilliant strategy that the party should adopt the policy positions of the avg MAGA voter — apparently ignoring that independents and swing voters even exist. Is this what $40 million gets you??

Until he explains why he voted for the Laken Riley Act, I don't believe he wants to do anything but "re-form."

Pew Research Institute (2023):

• Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants

• Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants

• Blue State Minnesota has 130,000.

And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration."

It's *not* about immigration.

When I lecture to students about how the apparently thriving economy of the 1920s was really a house of cards just waiting to be knocked down, one of the points I stress is how much a small number of the very rich were essentially propping up consumer spending in unsustainable ways

Talked to a Somali man today who said his mosque last night was surrounded by neighbors ready to protect them against ICE if needed. Made me feel proud to live in this city.

“This is an attempted authoritarian overthrow against the United States Constitution and the U.S. government… [Trump] wants to seem strong, but he is not that strong. Organizing against him works. Fighting him in court works. Pushing back works. Protesting in the streets works.”

21-year-old activist injured by ICE:

I will be blind for life. I have fractures in my skull that they can't fix. They pulled a piece of plastic the size of a nickel out of my eye. I had shards of metal, glass, and plastic behind my eye and in my skull. They said it was a miracle I survived.

The purpose of any messaging is to move people toward what we need them to believe & do. We need people to see ICE accurately - as the gestapo, a criminal enterprise destroying us from within. That's why any reference to "reform" or "train" goes against our material & narrative goal.

checking in on the president of the United States

This visibly gets to him so people should keep doing it.

Moderates support abolishing ICE, 45-35.

15% of Trump 2024 voters support abolishing ICE as well.

Balvino and his fascist goons going door to door in St. Paul

Bovino is on the ground doing door to door raids in St. Paul Minnesota at this hour.

These house raids are being done by a mix of ice and customs and boarder patrol including bortac teams.

THEY ARE GOING HOUSE TO HOUSE
