Can we fucking talk about the fact that shitbag corporations like Amazon don’t pay a single cent to maintain the roads they use, the transportation system they use, the courts they use, they pay fuckall for the infrastructure that is absolutely critical to their business.
WE Pay for ALL that shit.
If Congress can evict 2 members for "sexual assault"

📌MEDIA: Stop calling Jared Kushner a "high-level negotiator." He's a damn thief operating in his repulsive family's best interests not ours.
There should be a law passed, and enforced, that we will no longer have for profit prisons of any kind! Ever again! Incentivized incarceration should be a crime against humanity and should be retroactively enforced! They know what they are doing is wrong!

'The Whole Country's Going to Get Blown Up': Trump Renews Genocidal Threats to Iran as Ceasefire Collapses
"Whether he means it or not, his saying it is an indelible moral stain on our country," said one law professor.
I don't think I'll ever get over Clarence Thomas ruling on cases related to Jan 6 knowing that his wife was an active participant in the attempted coup.
Or ruling on cases related to government regulations and a wealth tax knowing he took gifts from billionaires.
It's a disgrace.

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.

Trickle-down economics is a cruel joke.
The Great Palestinian Revolt of 1936-39 began on this day 90 years ago.
Palestinians struggled against the pro-Zionist British Mandate. In retaliation, the British destroyed over 2,000 Palestinian homes over the next three years.
The conventional thinking that Trump will eventually suffer Nixon’s fate has been proven wrong. The Republican Party of the 1970s was tethered to constitutional governance. Today’s GOP has degenerated into a neofascist political cult, writes @blumslaw.bsky.social.
Once again our war criminal president threatens attacks on civilian infrastructure. Another war crime.
