Amazon dropped $75M on the Melania doc — with a big chunk going into the Trumps' pockets.
Since then, Amazon Web Services got a $580M Pentagon contract.
And this week, Pete Hegseth visited Blue Origin facilities as the DoD overhauls how it hands out defense contracts.
Always follow the money.

Donald Trump ran for President for three reasons.
1) To use the influence of his office to make as much money as possible.
2) To get "revenge" on his perceived political enemies.
3) To stay out of prison, where he belongs.
STOP THINKING THAT HE GIVES A FUCK ABOUT YOU. HE DOESN'T.

What do you MEAN the president audibly SHIT himself live on camera and they immediately cancelled the press conference and rushed everyone out of the room like it's a fire drill, and it happened two days ago, and I'm just hearing about it NOW?

So believe me I understand this is deeply frustrating and unfair, but a march that does everything right and still gets tear gassed is a successful march that is winning.
A lot of the strategy of protest is luring the authorities into engaging in obviously, transparently unjust uses of force.

It's hard to overstate how ell-organized the portland march that got gassed was... organizers made the crowd promise to be peaceful, said the march would slow in front of the ICE building but not stop, that we would stick to one chant (ICE Out). They did absolutely everything right and got gassed.

A friend in St. Paul just shared a story about an ICE encounter. (She's an organizer of observers/community care.) Horrifying. Then it got worse. Threats to people's kids. It's sadism.
She wrote, "Remember, whatever you're hearing about Minnesota, it's not enough & the situation is far more dire."

If they had not shot Alex Pretti, we likely wouldnt have seen the video of the agents assaulting a woman, pepper spraying her and Alex, and beating Alex. Or at least it would have been one of dozens of similar videos. KEEP FILMING!
