federal taxes you pay this year will go towards this. they won't go towards programs or services that help people, they killed those. they won't go to science, they ended science. they will fund this. you'll be paying for this.

His company got caught committing racial housing discrimination.
He spread lies about the exonerated Central Park 5.
He entered politics with the racist birther lie.
There's a reason Trump was once endorsed by David Duke and the KKK's newspaper.
When your representative says "Don't talk to me about my own morality," I suggest talking to them about their own morality INCESSANTLY.

Tech billionaires aren't robber barons.
Robber barons donated money to educational and cultural institutions, from universities to newspapers. Tech billionaires are destroying them - and building their fortunes on destroying the human capacity to think, learn, empathize, and concentrate.
If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

BREAKING: 8 more U.S. Attorneys in MN resign from Trumpโs DOJ in protest as backlash grows.
This isnโt normal; isnโt routine reshuffling. Itโs a rebellion.
Last month, 6 veteran prosecutors quit in protest. Normal staffing for the MN DOJโs office is around 50 attorneys. Theyโre down to just 9.
Not earth-shattering, but a small, fast, smart, civic, right move. These add up, and they illustrate the right instincts and intentions for New York City.
