HANDS OFF!
This is the moment where we say NO. No more looting, no more stealing, no more billionaires raiding our government while working people struggle to survive.
On April 5th, we take action. Across the country, thousands of people will march, rally, disrupt, and demand an end to this billionaire power grab. We'll show up at state capitals, federal buildings, congressional offices, and city centers-anywhere we can make sure they hear us.

The point about most of DC being beholden to the tyrants in charge bc of the funding explains a lot. I Still wish everyone would just say F- off and do what is right by the country.

🚨 Trump and Musk want to fire federal workers, gut public services, and hand our government to billionaires. We’re not letting that happen.

"No Other Land," the Palestinian-Israeli made film showing the destruction of the occupied West Bank's Masafer Yatta by Israeli soldiers, just won the Oscar for Best Documentary.

It can't get a distributor in the US.

Which tells you everything about censorship in the US.

10,000 King Soopers workers are currently on strike for better pay and working conditions.

Instead of negotiating in good faith, parent company Kroger has been using scabs and prioritized $7.5B in stock buybacks.

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]
