In 2025, Meta paid an effective federal tax rate of 3.5% — its lowest on record.
Meanwhile, Meta is pumping at least $65 million into super PACs to stifle regulation of AI and tech.

In a democracy, we are supposed to feel like we have control over our lives because the people control the government.
But in the U.S., people feel like our lives are out of control because the people don’t control the federal government.

Layoffs just hit their highest start-of-year total since January 2009 — the height of the Great Recession — according to data tracking firm Challenger.
Meanwhile, CEO pay and corporate profits continue to hit record highs.

The damage Trump and billionaires have done to America is generational. If we're lucky it will take 10 to 20 years to recover but we're never going to reach the high watermark again. We chose self immolation.

ICE is running a “conveyor belt” of illegally detained Minnesota families.
Agents are arresting entire families with legal status and immediately shipping them off to Texas to deny them legal representation and avoid the federal courts in Minnesota.
The cruelty is endless.

if you are referring to the last presidential election, and you say this, you really have not been paying attention.
just because YOU do not personally agree with some of the stances of a politician does not make them evil.
you are creating a false equivalence.

Reminder that Amazon CEO Andy Jassy raked in over $40M in 2024.

The same people who spent the last 4 years arguing that Russian expansionism is not a problem, and that Ukraine being invaded was the fault of the West, are now arguing the US must take Greenland by force to stop… Russian expansionism.
It is astonishing how dumb their supporters are.

What is the end game for ICE? Terrorize one city and move to the next?
How many "illegals" are they actually finding for all this effort?
Seems like we should be hearing about high numbers being found but we are not because that's not what this seems to be about.

The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same
