Billionaires receive the obscene volumes of money not though hard work but through ill-gotten methods. It’s time for the government to claw back the lion’s share of the wealth of billionaires by raising taxes significantly.
Billie Eilish asked an important question: "If you’re a billionaire, why are you a billionaire?"
There are FIVE ways to accumulate a billion dollars:
1) Profiting from a monopoly
2) Insider-trading
3) Political payoffs
4) Fraud
5) Inheritance
Billionaires are the result of a failed system.

ICYMI: Senator Ron Wyden sounds the alarm on Republicans plan to sneak a nationwide abortion ban into their funding bill. This is why it is so important for women to remain in the fight for our lives!

Interfering with ICE isn't interfering with law enforcement. Law enforcement involves warrants- knowing who you're picking up for god's sake, due process- reading of your rights, phone calls, lawyers... appropriate use of force, and are legally accountable for their actions. Not ICE! Interfere away!

Don't let them gaslight you. It's all on the GOP to end the shutdown. It's easy. Just make healthcare affordable for Americans instead of giving huge tax cuts to the ultra-wealthy. Repost to send a message to Speaker Johnson.

This is a clear example of racial discrimination.
It’s hard to understand how Americans can tolerate such behavior.
Masked men are approaching women with brown skin on the streets, asking if they were born here and where they come from.
It’s truly heartbreaking to witness things like this.
