Amazon has cut a combined 28,000 jobs since October. Its CEO made $40M+ in 2024
UPS has announced 78,000 job cuts since last year. Its CEO made $24M.
HP announced up to 6,000 layoffs in November. Its CEO made $21M.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Terrorism is the calculated use of violence or threat of violence to induce fear, intending to coerce governments or societies to achieve political, religious, or ideological goals. It often targets civilians and critical infrastructure to disrupt safety and advance specific agendas.

The US is headed for mass unemployment, and no one is prepared
Universal Basic Income (UBI) is no longer a liberal fantasy, but a necessity to prevent social fracture and buy time as AI continues to replace jobs faster than institutions can adapt.

Firing Greg Bovino is not justice for Renee Good and Alex Pretti. Only prosecuting all involved in their murders is justice!

Trump will try to steal the midterms. An administration that executes citizens in the streets and then lies about it will do anything to stay in power. We must plan accordingly.

Trump claims ICE's Minnesota raids — which have already killed two Americans — are justified to root out "fraud."
Meanwhile, he's pardoned multiple convicted fraudsters, including several who gave money to his campaign and Super PAC.

We are now witnessing—some of us in incredulous horror—what happens when a society confuses authority with innocence and violence with virtue. We have built legal doctrines that reward escalation. We have granted weapons to institutions without demanding restraint.

I wish Democrats would start just speaking the truth:
“ICE is killing American citizens in public for exercising their freedom of speech because Donald Trump wants to be a king.
This isn’t about immigration—Trump wants to make it illegal to oppose him, and to stay in power until he dies.”
