happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

The truth about Trump's economy:
-Inflation is still high, and beef and coffee prices are surging thanks to his tariffs
-Wage growth has slowed since he took office
-Unemployment is at a 4-year high
He's running the economy like he ran his businesses — straight into the ground.

Trump just gave a commutation to David Gentile, a private equity executive who defrauded investors of $1.6B.
Meanwhile, Trump's regime has also scrapped enforcement actions against over 160 corporations accused of misconduct.
A new Golden Age for corporate criminals.

Disney has hiked prices and laid off hundreds of workers this year.
Yet Disney paid its CEO $41B in 2024. It just reported a 36% increase in net profits for parks and streaming. And it plans to double stock buybacks next year.

The one crime Trump doesn't seem to have a problem with? Domestic violence.
"If a man has a little fight with the wife, they say this was a crime, see? So now I can't claim 100 percent [reduction in crime]," the president said Monday.

there are other ways to oppose, engage, and fight back.

Attn: Trump stated, “THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO GET RICH, RICHER THAN EVER BEFORE!!!” Many have interpreted this as an indication that he or his allies are using knowledge of tariffs for personal financial gain. This raises serious concerns about insider trading and market manipulation.

Because he knows that his biggest enemies are educators and younger generations of learners who are unafraid to speak truth to power.
