When billionaires can buy elections, you don't have a Democracy, you have an auction.

This chart explains why things only get worse for the working class.

Swastikas and nooses are dangerous hate symbols used by white supremacists to celebrate the history of hatred, mass murder and terrorism of the white supremacist movement.

Removing the hate symbol classification is an attempt to normalize white supremacy.

Never let hate win.

The military is legally obligated to disobey illegal orders.

Trump wants the Democrats reminding them of that to be arrested, and reposting calls for them to be executed.

This is fascism — and pretending it’s not only empowers him to do worse.

Pay attention.

They’re not “donations.”

They’re bribes.

Donald Trump took $116 million in bribes from at least 30 individuals or companies who then directly benefited from his actions.

Everyone understands it, and yet he’s still allowed to sell off his policies to the highest bidder.

How Trump’s trillion-dollar war machine enriches the 1% Congress will decide in the coming weeks whether to approve a $1 trillion military budget for 2026.

Taxpayers paid $103B for stock buybacks for Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, General Dynamics & Northrop Grumman over the last decade.

They donated to politicians who bought their stocks and gave them contracts, then both made money.

And you’re worried about what people buy with SNAP?

Trump’s “healthcare” plan will bankrupt and kill millions of Americans.

We can eliminate the private insurance industry, and save $650B per year with Medicare for All — which would cover everyone, save families money, and include dental, vision, hearing, prescriptions and longterm care.

Why Trump can't make the Epstein scandal go away His ordinary scandal management techniques are not working.

He pretends that sexually assaulting women is normal…

That cheating on your taxes is normal…

taking bribes is normal…

corruption is normal…

racism is normal…

fascism is normal…

Now, that pedophilia is normal.

None of it is normal.

Grand theft government President Trump is in the process of sending millions of dollars in taxpayer money directly to his political allies — and himself.

What Trump is spending our tax dollars on while cutting our healthcare:

💰$500M payout to himself
💰$50M to Mike Flynn
💰$4M to 8 GOP Senators
💰billionaire tax cuts
💰$1B to upgrade the plane he got as a bribe

Robbing us to enrich himself and friends
popular.info/p/grand-thef...

Far-Right: self-proclaimed Nazis are fighting with the people trying to protect pedophiles.

Far-Left: people fighting for universal healthcare to protect people from the Republicans’ healthcare cuts.

Centrists: These are equally bad and offensive to me.

Trump, Clinton, Bannon, Summers and the wealthy, powerful people on both sides of the aisle who keep us divided being part of the same pedophile friend group should be eye-opening to the people who still believe our struggle is Right vs Left, and not the Top vs the rest of us.

Trump is having his DOJ pay himself and his friends millions of dollars, and Republican Senators put a $500k payoff to themselves in the shutdown bill.

They’re stealing our tax dollars while telling you the mom on SNAP wanting to buy a box of cookies for her kids is the problem.

Companies should be required to explain why they can’t pay living wages, and why taxpayers need to subsidize their profits when they force their employees to rely on SNAP.

53% say billionaires are a threat to Democracy

53% support limits on wealth accumulation

71% support a billionaires tax

Your reminder that Republicans are currently gutting healthcare and food assistance to give more tax breaks to the billionaires buying elections for them.

Layoffs since April:

Amazon: 30k
Intel: 25k
UPS: 20k
Microsoft: 15k
Meta: 3600
Target: 1800
Charter: 1200
Paramount: 1000
Rivian: 600
xAI: 500

Add Verizon to the list.
They just laid off 15,000 and then their stock went up.

Your reminder that the stock market isn’t the economy

No surprise here:

Conservative Problem Solvers Caucus Democrats exist to undermine the Dem Party in the name of “bipartisanship,” to advance a GOP agenda.

Notice how they never get Republican Problem Solvers to cross the aisle for Democratic priorities.

“Mr. Trump ‘knew about the [underage] girls’”

This needs to be printed out on posters, and carried around by reporters, so Republicans can’t say “I didn’t see it” when asked.

Trump truly is running the country like he ran his casinos — into bankruptcy.

And he's planning to treat American families like he treated his contractors — screwed over.

Trump knew his tariffs were illegal, and made sure there's no way to fix the situation.

Trump pardoned his associates who tried to help him overturn the 2020 election.

He pardoned 1500 people who tried to violently overthrow our government on January 6th.

Trump is proving that he’ll pardon anyone for any crimes they help him commit.

Complete lawlessness.

Not to nitpick, but giving every American $2000 is way more socialist than using our tax dollars to fund free buses.

Trump’s tariffs jacked up prices, forcing families to spend thousands more on everyday essentials, leading to mass layoffs and tanked the economy — “whoops, here’s $2000”

The new “DOGE saved so much money that we’re sending every American a check” just dropped.

50% of workers can't afford healthcare.

People are using buy now, pay later apps to go into debt to buy groceries.

GoFundMe has 250k pages for medical bills and 40k for tuition.

… and Elon Musk gets a $1 trillion pay out.

And people think moms getting SNAP are the problem.

Your reminders that the stock market isn’t the economy, and unchecked corporate greed isn’t compatible with a moral or thriving society.

If at least 26 billionaires can waste at least $27 million trying to defeat Zohran Mamdani, then those same billionaires can afford to pay an extra 2% on their income over $1 million to make New York a better, thriving city for everyone — including themselves.

Andrew Cuomo gave more money in taxpayer subsidies to Elon Musk than the entire cost of Zohran Mamdani’s free bus plan.

It’s not unreasonable or radical to want our tax dollars to go to programs that help us, instead of as giveaways to billionaires.

They’re not “donations.”
They’re bribes.
Donald Trump took millions in bribes for political favors.

Everyone understands this, and yet he’s still allowed to use the most powerful position on the planet to run his grift, and the best Republicans can do is say “I didn’t see it.”

If Andrew Cuomo is the right choice for fascist, right-wing billionaires, he’s the wrong choice for NYC.

This isn’t complicated.

“Billionaires will leave NYC if NYC elects Zohran Mamdani, because he’ll tax them” is a myth created by billionaires who aren’t going to leave NYC, and who don’t want you to vote for Zohran Mamdani because he’ll tax them.
