Then, make a beeline to read those books, if you can. Find out for yourself why those people want that book banned. Find out for yourself if they can be trusted to know what’s best for you.” ~ Jeff Zentner

Arresting the very ones that served and fought for every Americans’ freedom is next level malevolence.

Before they were arrested- Vets are demanding an end to the war on Iran at the Cannon Building in Washington, D.C.

We are 7 weeks into the most egregious stock market manipulations of our lifetime.

Orchestrated by a crooked president and his underlings.

Billions siphoned via false proclamations of ceasefires and peace talks.

With the criminals in charge, every day is a crime spree.

Amazon will pay $20.5 million to settle allegations that two of its Oregon data centers helped contaminate groundwater.

This is exactly why communities across the country are organizing to stop data centers — and winning.

Never doubt your power to change the system.

Hey, so ICE is still kidnapping and disappearing people in the United States.

Just because they got quieter about it doesn't make it okay.

Abolish ICE. Chinga la Migra.

Happy Tax Day, New York. We’re taxing the rich.

Big Oil is terrified they will be held accountable for decades of lying about what they knew about climate change and for the harms their Big Tobacco-like advocacy for fossil fuels has done to us all.

Trump: "Powell is a bad chairman, and I was surprised when Biden extended him"

(Trump appointed Powell)

Trump Threatens to Fire Powell if He Does Not Resign From Fed

Breaking NYT:

Trump is now threatening to fire Jerome Powell if he does not resign from the Federal Reserve.

Powell's term as Fed chair officially ends on May 15, but he can stay on as a governor until 2028 and has said he would not leave until the criminal investigation is over.

Meanwhile, the typical American will pay a federal income tax rate of 14.5%

This is what a rigged system looks like.

Facebook and Instagram Tighten Censorship Rules for Saying “Antifa” Meta’s new rules let it ban users or suppress comments that include the word “antifa” alongside “content-level threat signals.”

Meta recently added new restrictions around "Antifa content" on Facebook and Instagram. Internal documents I reviewed show it applies when a user merely uses the word "Antifa" in a post.

ICE Concentration camps; though privately owned; are still under Congressional Oversight.
Now, after DOZENS of Deaths, Congressman are showing up unannounced to inspect.
One congressperson found conditions that he described as Squalid and Filthy.
Worse than MAX Prisons.

Yep 100%. The actions of a narcissist.

Trump will only become more belligerent as the limits of his power become more obvious.

For Trump, failure does not lead to lessons learned.

For Trump, failure leads to fear of humiliation which leads to more aggression.

Billionaires get paid in stock worth billions.

They use that stock as collateral to borrow billions.

They use those borrowed billions to buy everything, including media outlets which then pump bullshit like this to keep you in the dark about the tax loopholes designed just for them.

Every Republican in Congress should be forced to read Trump’s posts out loud on camera every single day, then look straight into the lens and say, “I still support this man.”

In case anyone is still confused
