Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.
Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.
Do not.

The wages of the richest 1% have skyrocketed 182% since 1979.
Meanwhile, the wages of the bottom 90% have seen just 44% growth.
Trickle down economics was always a hoax.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: He choked.
The market started to tank, and suddenly, he said, “Oh, didn’t you guys already have a plan to deal with the border back in December? I love that—I’ll take that.”
This is Mr. Art of the Deal.

Something we need to instill in our kids is civic responsibility.
Like, ok little dude. You are you and your body is yours. But you are also part of a community and you have to be a good neighbor. It is kind of your responsibility to care for other people.

As Trump tries to dismantle the Department of Education, remember that his plan to cut the corporate tax rate to 15% would give the 100 largest corporations a tax cut larger than the entire department's K-12 budget.
Really think about how twisted this all is.

Never forget that in 14 days, multiple federal agencies have been dismantled, and our systems of healthcare, education, environment, civil rights, and technology have all been dramatically overhauled. But we still have to worry about our kids being shot in school because of “the constitution.”

Elon’s team tapping into the Treasury’s payment system is like hacking America’s bank account. No billionaire should have that kind of access to public funds. This isn’t disruption—it’s a threat to democracy. Who’s really in control if one man can slip into the government’s wallet?

It would be fantastic if major federal institutions would acknowledge that the executive branch cannot legally unilaterally cancel or redistribute congressionally appropriated funding on ideological grounds and thus they have no legal obligation to comply with such directives
Trump funding freeze a blatant violation of Constitution, federal law: Legal experts
The Constitution, federal law and court decisions make it clear: President Donald Trump's order to pause federal funding is against the law, legal experts tell ABC News.
