Scaring children out of an education. What leadership...☹️
As Trump ramps up his ICE raids in Charlotte, North Carolina, more than 30,000 students across the county reportedly did not attend school on Monday.
This isn't about going after the “worst of the worst.”
It was always about cruelty.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.
Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.
Four giants control 80% of meat processing.
A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.
The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

ICE arresting people that they think "look like" illegal immigrants and then figuring out their citizenship status later is just racism.

SNAP is a lifeline for workers in low-wage jobs.
Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.

Pretty clear that House will pass a bill to release the Epstein files. With enough House R’s on it, it
may even pass the Senate.
Then it will go to The Dictator, who along with shill Bondi will say they can’t be released because “there’s an investigation going on.”
