The billionaire class in this country has been operating with impunity and the belief they can buy themselves out of any situation. They are truly above the law.
Rules are for the poor who can’t buy politicians and Supreme Court justices.
That’s what an oligarchy is. We’re living in one.

There is zero future for the internal combustion engine but only the US auto industry, manipulated by Trump, is failing to acknowledge that. This will cripple US auto production for decades, ceding the EV market to China.

AOC: This has now become what we feared most about ICE for a long time—that it would be used as an anti-civilian force with no accountability. At the end of the day, what we saw today was a murder, and murders in cold blood need to be prosecuted.

ICE just murdered a U.S. citizen.
This violence is the direct result of racist rhetoric coming from Donald Trump and his allies.
This is dangerous state-sanctioned violence. We will not stay silent while unqualified masked federal agents terrorize our communities.

Every second the murderer is not arrested is another second for feds to hide him in a place that would create a jurisdictional fight. He's on video killing a person. You have to arrest this guy an hour ago, but you might still have time now.
