The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

In the past month, a serial child rapist has murdered 100 people in the Caribbean, destroyed the East Wing of the White House, neutralized our Congress, & stolen food from 20% of American children.

We pay him, house him, drive him, fly him, and pay for his bodyguards.

Tom Tiffany, and the rest of Wisconsin's Republican delegation, found over a trillion dollars in tax breaks for billionaires like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos. To pay for them, they have robbed Wisconsinites of Medicaid and Medicare funding, and are now going after ACA and Social Security funding.

I’m so excited! I finally got my 4th type of orchid to rebloom. It’s an Oncidium, which I bought over 2 years ago.

A 66-year-old competitive runner.

Six broken ribs.

He won’t be able to run his marathon anymore and all because ICE didn’t like how fast he moved his car.

This isn’t about “immigration enforcement” anymore.

It’s about unchecked power and the normalization of state violence.👇

#Trump may have immunity from the Supreme Court, but nobody else does — something #ICE agents would do well to remember.

For anyone saying that the ICE agents are just doing their jobs, so were the German soldiers loading Jewish people onto trains.

Note: This is me — I asked this question.

You’ll hear me say “yes you have” here — because Johnson was already *directly asked* about one of these instances (when the Presbyterian minister was shot in the head with a pepper ball) in one of earlier shutdown press conferences.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 5d

Q: Just last week a minister was shot directly in the face with a pepper round by a DHS agent that left his face bloodied. Are you concerned that this is a religious freedom issue?

MIKE JOHNSON: I can't comment on any of those instances. I haven't seen or heard any of those videos

Fall beauty. Note the yellow Tamaracks in the wetlands. They're the only conifer that lose their needles in the fall.

Since Tr$mp has retaken office, nearly a million Americans have lost their jobs. That's the largest number of layoffs since 2020, during his previous term.

More than 100 former top Justice Dept officials, including dozens of former prosecutors, file court brief opposing James Comey's prosecution:

"not the judgment of an impartial prosecutor, but rather an expression of retributive animus by the President"

It will end. All dictatorships end. The only questions are when and how much damage will they do before they are gone.

In Chicago, ICE tried to seize a Latino man—but his Black neighbors refused to let it happen. They stepped in, stood tall, and claimed him as their own.

That’s what solidarity looks like: when the people say no, the raid ends there.
This is how we win: together.🔥

So this billboard is located by I-5 in Lewis county, between Portland and Seattle. For years and years it’s been a right wing bullshit sign. Recently the tribe that historically owned the land bought it, and here is the sign now.
