Meta just paid the lowest effective federal tax rate in its history.
Thanks to tax breaks and loopholes, it avoided $13.7B in 2025 federal income taxes.
But now it's planning to lay off 10% of its global workforce (8,000 people) by May 20 — with more job cuts later this year.
Trickle down hoax.
Tesla saved $400 million on its federal taxes by shifting billions of its U.S. profits to countries with lower tax rates.
Yes: While you paid your taxes in full, giant corporations maneuvered to pay as little as possible — and it’s all perfectly legal for them.
The system is rigged.
Americans are losing a game they don’t even realize is being played.
Why send bombs when foreign adversaries can install puppet leaders who weaken the country and its allies from within?

Amazon, which saved $4B in taxes under Trump's Big Ugly Bill, has cut 30,000 jobs since last October.
Verizon, which saved $2B, plans to cut 15,000 jobs this year.
Meta, which saved $3B, plans to lay off 20% or more of its workforce.
Trickle-down economics is a cruel joke.
Who wants to settle for “MAGA” when we could actually “make America greater than ever before”?
Not by going backward—but by moving forward with strength, integrity, and a future big enough for all of us.
Somehow too many people don’t realize that we don’t need to settle for MAGA. We could instead actually “Make America greater than ever before”
Build child care centers.
Build health centers.
Build community centers.
Not data centers.
And not ICE detention centers.
This is brilliant. Pass it on.
This documentary covers many of the essentials and how it relates to the US today

The Epstein money trail leads straight to 45*!
45* sent FOUR THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FIVE (4725) wire transfers to Jeffrey Epstein.
They totaled over $1.1 billion. 😱

Tax cuts for giant corporations and the super rich.
Paid for by cuts to the social safety net for everyone else.
Trickle-up economics.
"The new law forbids counties and local law enforcement from contracting with ICE. It mandates that public bodies terminate any existing immigration detention agreements and prohibits the use of public property for federal civil immigration detention..."

The first crack in the wall: An ICE agent just quit.
After everything we’ve learned about this morally bankrupt administration, it is unconscionable that anyone tied to it is still allowed to decide whether children are taken from their families and transported elsewhere.
Facebook launched 22 years ago this week.
In 2025, Meta paid an effective federal tax rate of 3.5% — its lowest on record.
Meanwhile, Meta is pumping at least $65 million into super PACs to stifle regulation of AI and tech.
Trickle-down economics isn't just a hoax, it's corrosive to democracy.
Bezos blogpost includes his promise for “unwavering commitment to The Post” while outlining the threats and pressure he faced from those trying to extort him with sexually explicit photos.

Michael Sanchez “suspected the texts btwn Bezos & his sister were obtained by the NSA, British intelligence, or the Mossad.”
Michael “has ties to Roger Stone & Carter Page, two Trump associates caught up in the Russia investigation.”

Tabloid magazine covers related to Bezos blackmail case
When Bezos was blackmailed w sexually explicit pics he responded:
“The Post is a critical institution w a critical mission. My stewardship of The Post and my support of its mission, which will remain unswerving, is something I will be most proud of when I’m 90”
What changed?
This made me weepy
The only way they win is if regular people are convinced that they can do nothing. It just isn’t true.
I highly recommend the book “Moral Ambition”
A powerful & inspiring reminder that ordinary people helped abolish slavery, save Jews in WWII, and make civil rights and suffrage real
Authoritarian regimes never end well—even for the oligarchs who support them.
Authoritarians seize businesses, imprison or exile CEOs, & eliminate them.
Oligarchs require bodyguards—bc they are terrified of their own gov & their own people who they exploit
We don’t need to wait for a complete collapse before building America 2.0.
Now is the time.
Peter Thiel has been open about this for a long time. Trump is a way to break the republic, which can then be replaced by “free economic zones” with oligarchs as dictators and tech as a taskmaster for helpless humans without any rights. (1/2)
AOC on ICE: It’s our task to figure out how to claw back what has essentially supercharged this agency into becoming a relentless domestic paramilitary that is also a blank check to Palantir to create facial-recognition scans on U.S. citizens.
Kudos to Mayor Mamdani.
This is what economic justice looks like.
And it's a reminder of how we can fight corporate greed at the state and local level. www.motherjones.com/politics/2026/01/mamdani...
