What do these corporations have in common?

Netflix
Ford
Tesla
T-Mobile
Duke Energy
DISH Network
Metlife
Dominion Energy
United States Steel

In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes.

This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

Raskin: "This is what Viktor Orban has done in Hungary -- to clear out the civil service with real expert professionals and people devoted to the public interest and replace them with a bunch of party hacks and sycophants to the dear leader."

They keep talking about messaging... Send out the messages, please!!!

They need to get boisterous and loud AF about what they got going on instead of chasing these imaginary dragons they have flooding the always.

Get like Jasmine and AOC, goddamnit!

Fight these fuckers!!!

Tesla Paid Zero Federal Income Tax in 2024, Despite $2.3 Billion in Income This brings Tesla’s average tax rate over the past three years to 0.4 percent.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024.

You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right?

Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year.

You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

It's been swinging right since 1980. After this election I don't believe I'll live long enough to be around when "liberal" is a good label again. Listen to the folk music of the early and mid 1960s.

Idgaf I’m still fighting for guaranteed healthcare.

Aspiration is the answer. Not just β€œwe’re not the bad guys.”

We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. πŸ‘ŠπŸ½

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942.

I know. I was there in those camps.

Support our campaign to oppose MAGA extremism

HHS should protect lives, not endanger them. RFK Jr.'s conspiracy theories, anti-science agenda & vaccine lies would put us at extreme risk. if he were to gain power.
Urge your senators to reject Trump's dangerous HHS Sec'y nominee. http://dlvr.it/THhyvf

Trump is an extremely dangerous man--stupid, vindictive, fixated on payback for his enemies. This country will be lucky to survive him.

Anyway as they pull bodies out of the Potomac bear in mind that the guiding ethos of Trumpism is that the TSA, NTSB, and FAA should be radically downsized and run by dudes whose main qualifications are loyalty are a willingness to say β€œcunt” a lot

If every single democratic senator doesn't vote against RFK Jr., I don't know what.

VOTE NO. ALL OF YOU.
