Yes your taxes should support disabled people.

They should support homeless people.

They should support those living in poverty, children and the elderly.

This is literally the purpose of taxes, and I would far rather support those who need it than continue to enrich the elite.

There are Millions of Americans in need of real Doctors, but Donald and his psychos are trying to ensure they lack health insurance...

However, it seems that a Psy.D. might be of benefit to him, if he so desires.

Sean Duffy is out there saying “No Kings” protesters are paid antifa.

Nobody told me that.

What’s the pay?

ICE has been deployed to *provoke* civilians, not to protect them. They want to throw tear gas canisters and get people on the streets riled up, all to create footage for Fox News and Newsmax, et al., that will be used as a pretext for imposing martial law to lower voting rates in Democratic cities.

Remember how MAGA told us Javier Milei would fix Argentina's economy with his right-wing policies?

And now we are bailing out Argentina with billions.

Remember how MAGA told us Donald Trump would save US farmers with his right-wing policies?

And now we are bailing them out with billions also.

If you're wondering why Donald hasn't done anything to fix the economy, bring down prices, or stop the violence by ICE in our cities . . . he is focused on bigger issues.

It bears repeating that this funding continuing to go to red districts comes disproportionately from blue districts that are being deprived of funding. Talk about socialism!

"They know that in a functioning one-person-one-vote democracy, they could never pass the unpopular self-enriching policies they want. So they know they must focus on preserving and expanding the precedents that permit them to buy American democracy."

months ago, Trump stated he plans to significantly downsize or potentially eliminate FEMA. Thus, funding will be distributed directly from the White House, resulting in less federal aid for disaster recovery.

Tragedies in Alaskan villages. NOTHING done by FEMA OR the US government.

Many small towns are flooded, and people are being rescued by local departments

grateful portland has risen to the challenge so far in peacefully protesting the ICE facility and that nationally we're all cheering on the frogs but I think it's important to make sure everyone is aware that the ICE goons aren't exactly being peaceful in return

ICE is randomly targeting peaceful protesters because the point is to terrorize the public into accepting martial law.

Indiscriminate attacks send the message that there’s nothing you can do to stay safe.

The regime wants you to cower at home and cede the streets of your city to their control.
