If a bank can use a persons wealth as collateral for a loan, it can be taxed.

“But it’s hard to tax wealth cause it’s hard to measure at any given point in time”…Miss me with that bullshit.

Just tell us what you told the bank to get that loan, patriot. 👀

There are sitting Members of Congress afraid to say that accountability ought to apply to the most powerful person on the planet.

That alone should tell you all you need to know about who the fuck they are, and these cowards should never hold public office again.

How the Epstein Cabal defeated #MeToo

Jeffrey Epstein engaged with billionaires, academics, and journalists who shared his disdain for accountability and diversity and used their power to crush "wokeness."

Welcome home Liam ❤️❤️

JUST 1 MORE THING: If we’re to accept this idea that a person having a firearm at a law enforcement encounter is per se evidence of a person’s intent to “inflict maximum harm,” doesn’t it then follow that law enforcement can’t constitutionally bring firearms themselves, per multiple Amendments?

Anyone who works for ICE Enforcement should be employable anywhere. Ever again.

Put it on fucking job applications.

I don’t give a fuck…every single CBP AND ICE agent should be outed, and every single communication and piece of paper from this administration should be immediately declassified when we have forced these cowards and their enablers in Congress from office.

A coworker took this from her apartment. I haven't seen a crowd this size before. Maybe the first Women's March? But it was much much warmer that day. ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA!

Minnesota is the best of us.

Larry Fink, CEO of global investment firm BlackRock, shows up to billionaire camp, Davos, to admit the system is broken — then asks for a conversation instead of a tax bill.

We’ve been talking for years! Billionaire wealth is up 81% since 2020.

This isn't leadership—it's stalling.

Today we honor Dr. King—and his economic vision.

MLK didn’t just dream of racial justice. He demanded economic justice: higher wages, labor rights, dignity at work.

We would do well to listen to his words and voices like his—and have the courage to act to make their vision our reality.

Stage 5 pundit-brain is watching an innocent woman being killed by agents of the state and going, "hmm this says a lot about the urban-rural divide in America."

Inasmuch as you did these things to one of the least of these my brethren, you did them unto me.

Minimum wages have gone up, and the sky didn't fall!

Seattle now leads large U.S. cities at $21.30/hr.
18 states + DC are at $15+.

When workers have more money, they spend it locally — and local businesses grow.
That’s how jobs are created.

Spire’s ex-CEO: fired ➜ $2.4M severance.
Workers: laid off ➜ unemployment line.

You get fired, you lose your paycheck. Unless you’re a CEO — then you get a million-dollar consolation prize.

Same economy. Very different rules.

I think about this July 2024 threat from the head of the Heritage Foundation quite a lot these days.

it really clicked when I learned that some of those high-profile 1990s militias were specifically and almost exclusively opposed to the fed govt that added the 13th, 14th, 15th, and 20th amendments to the constitution

Background checks don't happen until after people start work, one official said, as HR rubber-stamps applicants in days. Training was slashed from 16 weeks to six, with sit-ups eliminated because recruits couldn't handle them.

ICE recruitment is going well.

If calling a state secret police agent a murderer for committing murder will lead to more murder by the state secret police, it sure seems like the problem is with the secret police

More proof that traditional media is out of touch:

The level of pearl clutching over Mayor Jacob Frey dropping a well-deserved f-bomb versus the outrage over the murder of Renee Nicole Good

JFC. A guy murdered a woman and it’s on Frey to “bring down the temperature?”

FYI: Judge Ellis (Chicago ICE case) noted in November that video evidence shows ICE "brake-checked other motorists in an attempt to force accidents that agents could then use as justifications for deploying force."

The issue with ICE is not training, the issue with ICE is that it fundamentally should not exist. The violence is the purpose

WHERE THE FUCK IS CONGRESS

Schumer has got to fucking go.

Not a word from the FBI or any other DOJ component that I’ve seen.

Black folks are not being "mean" to you when we are truthful concerning the historical pathologies of your kinsmen...

Truth is the greatest love

Yes, JD. Let’s ask them if they think a stay at home mom, avowed Christian, and widow of a veteran deserved to be shot in the face and left to bleed out in her own car after dropping her 6-year-old off at school, for the crime of looking out for her neighbors. Let’s ask everyone running for office.
