We get $500 a year in tool replacements for my job and this year I didn’t need anything past the one drill I replaced. So the remaining $300 went to supplies for hurricane relief and a local food pantry. No need to find a loophole to spend it on myself

They caved in March so they could get a better deal now. They’re caving now so they can get a better deal in some indeterminate future. The better deal is always just beyond their reach, but continuing to cave will get them there. And if you don’t agree with that, you don’t understand Politics,

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video.

I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children.

But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

These are children. You fucking monsters.
ICE followed the mother into a school and aggressively detained her along with her children.
This is so heartbreaking 💔

Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump's calling Reagan’s words here “FAKE” and “fraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad:

This is insane.

“It won’t interfere with the current building. It’ll be near it but not touching it — and pays total respect to the existing building, which I’m the biggest fan of," Trump said in July. “It’s my favorite. It’s my favorite place. I love it.”

When your neighbor on the left is being dragged away by masked men and your neighbor on the right can't get an X-ray for their child, be sure to quickly explain that "both parties are the same" and whatnot.

Just famously incorrect.
If you don't understand the "Oh my God," the American space program was built by Nazis. Literal Nazis, a "foreign class of servants," imported from Germany after World War II through Operation Paperclip.

These men were building us homes.

The violence is being committed by ICE — masked men, no ID, no warrants.
Don’t believe the rhetoric being pushed by violent criminals about ‘violent criminals’ cause it’s all BS.
Call your Reps and demand they hold hearings, sanctioned or not. This needs to stop.

I cannot emphasize this enough; people were live-tweeting imaginary gun battles between North Carolina sheriffs and FEMA stormtroopers, and the richest man in the world was one of them. People can now live in their own imaginary worlds if they want to, and they're choosing to, at scale.
Like, an entire discourse emerged around the LIE that Biden abandoned North Carolina after Helene. I do not think even a whisper will emerge around the very real fact that Trump is doing exactly this.
