To the GOP: This is a profound abuse of power. Those who remain silent are complicit. It is not too late to reject this moral collapse. If you reveal the truth, & expose the corruption, you can help restore integrity & begin the nation’s healing. History will not forgive those who shield a predator.

No joke.
Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

Mass incarceration as a solution to crime is like using quarantine to fight food poisoning. Once you've had the meal it's too late.
We ought to be putting 90% of our resources into preventative measures like education, housing resources, and healthcare.

House Republicans just passed Trump’s Big Billionaire Bill, which robs working families to fund taxpayer handouts for the top 1%.
It’s an extremely shameful and corrupt transfer of wealth from the middle and working class to the GOP’s ultra-wealthy donors.

Also, let’s be CRYSTAL clear: the BBB *is* a wealth transfer. Except no one calls it “socialism” when the wealth moves up. It’s only socialism when it actually helps normal people.

A good moment to re-up this.
NEW: In the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson listed 27 grievances to prove that King George III was a tyrant. We looked at how many of those now apply to Donald Trump. Have a good Fourth of July and pass this on.

If you are paying taxes and getting zero services or healthcare in return, you are being taxed without representation. If your only incentive to pay taxes anymore is simply to avoid going to prison instead of any societal benefits, then you are no longer a citizen but a slave.

Just a reminder that the government is the only institution that’s supposed to work for the people. Corporations will always prioritize profits over people.

Everything is a “redistribution of wealth” — the only question is which direction it’s heading in.
Stop letting them convince you the only valid direction is from the bottom to the top. They’ve been selling that snake oil for decades.
