Good point from @joycewhitevance.bsky.social: ICE killings are overshadowing another very big story about ICE: "its egregious, confrontational stance with the rule of law in the city’s federal courts...both have reached a boiling point."

This is what oligarchy is about:
If you paid 1 penny in federal income taxes last year, you paid more than Tesla - a $1.3 trillion company owned by Elon Musk, the wealthiest man alive, who became $460 billion richer since Election Day after spending $290 million to elect Trump.

The Trump administration and Republicans in Congress "have allowed a hugely profitable corporation to avoid paying even a dime of federal income tax on their 2025 US profits."
On $5.7 Billion in Revenue in 2025, How Much Will Elon Musk's Tesla Pay in Federal Income Tax? $0
Elon Musk's Tesla raked in billions in profits, yet paid $0 in federal income tax in 2025. How is this fair? While hardworking Americans foot the bill, Tesla enjoys massive tax breaks. The system is broken, and it's time for change. #TaxFairness #TeslaTaxScandal #CorporateGreed

The way to get Chuck and ‘dem to hear us on defunding ICE is to a have a national political donations blackout.
We need to pick a week where we all STOP ALL donations to Dem incumbents in the House and Senate.
