Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.
That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.

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.
The only violence I’ve been seeing in Portland is from the so-called Feds!!!
Keep sharing these videos; it’s evidence.

We can fund health care and keep the government running, or we can shut everything down to raise prices on people.
To me, that’s a pretty easy choice.

The largest group in ICE detention is now immigrants with no criminal record, with more than 16,500 currently being held.
Don’t fall for Trump’s lies about going after the “worst of the worst.”
This was never about legal immigration. It was always about cruelty.
