You're welcome
Since when are Americans told who, and how, they should mourn?

Trump revoked Biden's executive order cracking down on anti-competitive corporate practices.
This gives Big Tech, Ag, Pharma, and airline monopolies even more power to price-gouge and rip you off.
CEOs have been kissing Trump's ring — look at what they're getting in return.

If you give Putin Ukraine, he’s gonna want Alaska.
How bad can it get?
America first right?

What a way to reach across the aisle.
Your Prime Day reminder that half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food & housing costs.
A third have had to rely on government assistance like SNAP — which is about to get cut.
If Bezos can spend $50M on a wedding, Amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity.
For anyone who is elected to represent US citizens:
Doing what is right is more important than keeping your job.
If you can’t do what is right, you don’t deserve to keep your job!
The president needs to be impeached and removed ASAP! He has violated the constitution too many times.
🚨🚨The White House is pissed off about this ad so you know what to do, share it everywhere! ICE is disappearing people just because of the color of their skin! No Warrant! No Due Process! This is not who we are as Americans! #MAGAKidnappers want an all white America, fuck that‼️

That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations.
So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?
Same here.

THIS is waste and abuse.
You can't call immigrants lazy moochers looking for government handouts and then round them up at Home Depots where you know they are looking for work.
You can't say immigrants don't follow the rules and then round them up in courthouses where they are following the rules.
Get your lies straight.
This...is...not...honest.
This pic is from five years ago and not even in Los Angeles. Immoral opportunists like James Woods and Ted Cruz trade on lies to promote other lies.

A $45 military parade for a draft dodging felon *is* waste, fraud, and abuse.
Paying the National Guard to attack US citizens *is* waste, fraud, and abuse.
I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple.
Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.
