AOC: I want to remind you where the real crime is. It's in the oligarchs taking $170 billion of our money from health care and food assistance and public programs and taking that and funneling it into a secret police program.

After taking over housing and healthcare, private equity is now buying up software used by volunteer fire departments — making it even harder for rural communities to respond to emergencies.
The only winners from private equity's price-gouging spree are wealthy investors.

But it’s not disrespectful. It’s far beyond that. It’s obvious proof of severe mental disturbance.
Trump is mentally ill. America is hostage to a madman who provides evidence of his derangement with virtually every public utterance. And the media and GOP are pretending they can’t see it.

Extremely disturbing. Many Americans think this is a temporary phase, but the Project 2025 authors, (many now working in the administration),plan on creating a white nationalist America.
This is unacceptable.
Do not become numb to this abuse.
It is only going to get worse.

The words of ACLU's Kate Voight re the expansion of ICE detention facilities to house thousands and thousands of people, with no internal oversight, is deeply disturbing. #USPolitics #ICE #immigration #detention

Nothing says racism, cruelty, hatred and weakness combined in one quite like the orange felon removing all free access to National Parks on federal holidays that honor black people whilst giving free access on his own birthday. He should’ve been sent to jail forever.

No community should be forced to bear the weight of a system that profits from human suffering.
Private, for-profit prisons have no place in a fair and free democracy—and especially profiting off the suffering of an inhumane and undemocratic detention system.
Period.

At one point or another, we're all going to need to see a doctor.
But our health care system remains unaffordable, inaccessible, and deeply dysfunctional. It is unacceptable.
That’s why a strong majority of Americans agree: We need Medicare for All.

Can I let you in on a little secret?
Billionaire philanthropy isn’t charity.
It’s PR to distract you from low wages, labor exploitation, and a tax system that’s rigged for the rich.

Data centres are energy hungry but what if we could use their waste heat to heat our homes?
That's exactly what happens in places like Finland: Cities are tapping the vast amounts of waste heat generated by data centres, and feeding it into district-heating networks.

ICE will provide huge financial incentives to bounty hunters who help Trump hunt down immigrants. My latest on how private contractors could earn up to $281 MILLION dollars serving as de facto law enforcement.
No $ for SNAP, but Trump has millions for bounty hunters.

"Mustafa served alongside the United States military in Afghanistan. Like so many other Afghans who helped American forces, he later came to the US for its promise of refuge. When I met him recently, though, he had only just left an ICE detention center after months behind bars."
The US Let Afghanistan Fall. Now It's Deporting Afghans.
As the Trump administration escalates deportations, tens of thousands of Afghans are in the US without permanent legal protections.
