The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

What I don't have in experience, I make up for in integrity.

And what Andrew Cuomo lacks in integrity, he could never make up for with experience.

Please fight back. This is our chance.

North Korea isn’t the only dictatorship where Dear Leader hangs giant banners of his own fat face on public buildings.

Must be nice to have no oligarchs on your supreme court.

He has violated his oath of office too many times to count - his very mode of operation and his conception of the presidency is a violation of his oath of office.
He has undermined our elections.
He has attacked our veterans.
He has attacked minorities.
He has been unjustly cruel toward immigrants,

KILMAR IN BALTIMORE: “Never lose hope. Promise me you’ll continue fight for freedom — not just for me, for everybody.”

He was just taken into ICE custody.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia detained by ICE during Baltimore check-in The detention, which was expected, happened after Abrego Garcia walked into the Immigration and Customs Enforcement building in Baltimore for a check-in after being released from custody on Friday.

Let’s be clear: deporting Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda makes no sense—it’s not his home country. Nothing about this process has been fair. ICE is targeting him with cruelty. This is the weaponization of government, not justice.

If a president wanted to become effectively a dictator, he’d likely:

1. Purge govt of non loyalists
2. Weaponize law against opponents
3. Use military to police opposition strongholds
4. Threaten media, schools, businesses w penalties to get them to heel
5. Change election rules in his favor.

Unfortunately, I don’t think there will ever be a final form of ignorant and racist groups like this. ☹️

This feels like a moment out of Hunger Games. It’s mortifying in reality.

Trump says he will lead 'movement' to end mail-in voting President Trump said on Monday that that he will lead a movement to get rid of mail-in ballots, claiming, without providing evidence, that it leads to voter fraud.

President Trump is trying to seize control of our voting system and illegally override state election laws – this is an unconstitutional power grab. We cannot let this stand.

Looks the other way when ICE kidnaps people? DUMP THEM

Paying workers pennies on the dollar? DUMP THEM

Did they cancel DEI? DUMP THEM

Selling brands complicit in genocide? DUMP THEM

Do it loudly on social media. Let’s make our exes famous. 🫦

If you think it’s problematic that Homeland Security sent ICE to intimidate Governor Newsom during this press conference

Just wait until Trump applies the $30 billion allocated in the Big Ugly Bill to expand ICE

And sends out these thugs to “maintain order” during the midterm elections

Tucked into the hillside of Binjiang Village, this ancient Chinese temple, Jinlong Temple in Luzhou City, Sichuan Province(四川瀘州金龍寺), boasts a massive golden dragon head sculpture: about 12 m long and nearly 10 m tall, gracing the staircase in front of the Hall of the Four Heavenly Kings.

We all know what is in those files.

WHAT THE HECK IS IN THOSE FILES?!

There's no way we should be hosting that murderous Russian dictator on American soil.

D.C. is not a dangerous city.

Nor is L.A.

The only danger is the Trump regime and its secret police force—ICE.

They are committing crimes.
They are terrorizing communities.
They are tearing families apart.
They are kidnapping people.

They are the problem.

And we the people are done with them.

Good morning,

Bcuz he’s singlehandedly fucking up the economy and bcuz he’s in the Epstein files, Trump will throw a big piece of red meat against the wall today to distract you. Don’t fall for it. Violent crime is down in DC. Fuck the tyrant & his hard on for troops on our streets.

Happy Monday.
