When the government reports that economic indicators (GDP/employment) are up, that doesn't mean the lives of Americans are better -- it just means corporations and the wealthiest of people are getting richer while the rest of us can't even meet the minimum #inequality we need #redistribution

Yesterday the Black woman who served as Librarian of Congress was fired. Today, the Black mayor of Newark was arrested. Earlier, the Black general who chaired the Joint Chiefs of Staff was sacked. A few examples of the racism at the Trump regime's core. #defenddemocracy #fightfascism #fightracism

Reporter: The president fired the Librarian of Congress. Why?
Leavitt: There were quite concerning things she had done at the Library of Congress in the pursuit of DEI and putting inappropriate books in the library for children.
