The heads of Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, and Tesla all joined Trump at his inauguration.
Since then, largely thanks to Trump's Big Ugly Bill, their companies have reaped $51B in federal tax breaks — paid for by huge cuts to our social safety net.
This is what oligarchy looks like.

Today’s acquittal of six Palestine Action activists is a huge win against attempts to criminalise protest and resistance to genocide.
After 500+ days in custody, the Filton jury returned not guilty verdicts on aggravated burglary for all, and no convictions on any other counts.
