Undocumented immigrants pay almost $100 billion in taxes each year.

The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes each year.

Stop pretending that immigrants are the ones taking advantage of taxpayers.

Just deactivated my X account. Feels good.

Find your allies, gather progressives around you. Break bread together. Learn to trust people you don’t normally mix with etc. We have been de-collectivised by capitalism.
