One year ago Trump signed the OBBBA, where he gave the richest 1% over $1,000,000,000,000 and paid for it by shredding our healthcare and throwing 4,000,000 of our most vulnerable off nutrition assistance. Happy anniversary.
Thank you Mitchell Robinson for being one of one. I loved your singular style and watching you move like so fast for a person so big on defense and rebound like no other. You bled for your team and gave us something to cheer for. You lived through the rough times and built us into a championship team. This is how I’ll choose to remember you. Feel lucky to have witnessed it all.

Donald Trump bought between $1 million and $5 million of Axon stock on Feb. 10.
Axon makes things like tasers and body cameras.
Two weeks later, ICE posted a notice seeking a five-year, $220 million taser contract, enough to more than quadruple its current inventory.
The notice seeking a contract doesn't name Axon, but experts say the specifications only match Axon products.

Republicans have made cuts to healthcare, housing, and food for working people and are looking to make cuts into social security because we are "broke."
Yet, they are using Americans' taxes to wage illegal wars, "settle" with insurrectionists, and build a $600 MILLION ballroom.
We are not broke. Our priorities are broken.
The last time the US had Robber Barons — men who hoarded wealth while workers struggled to survive — was the Gilded Age of the late 1800s. Workers had organized into unions, and the threat of collective power was enough to force action. The rich gave back — not out of decency, but because workers demanded it. Today's Robber Barons like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos buy the narrative, platforms, newspapers, & politicians. They don't fear us — yet. We’re still fighting back because history shows us what works: organized, relentless, loud collective action. It worked in the 1880s. It's the only thing that's ever worked for working people.
Taxpayers paid for over $38 billion in subsidies and government contracts for Space X, and Elon Musk gets to be a trillionaire off of our tax dollars.

First, the loyal fans who supported the Knicks for decades when the team sucked (emptying thier wallets for tickets, shirts, jerseys) get priced out of the building when New York finally reaches the Finals (by insanely wealthy patrons willing/capable of casually blowing $20k on a pair of tickets to a basketball game, many of them having just hopped on the bandwagon or purchased tix to Game 3 solely b/c MSG is “the place to be” this week).
Then those same loyal, working-class fans get a second middle finger from ownership. Due to Dolan's desire to host Trump, thousands of diehard Knicks fans are denied the chance to gather outside the Garden, watch the game on a big screen, and share a once-in-a-lifetime moment with the community that helped keep this franchise alive when nobody else cared.
Access is reserved for the powerful, rich and/or connected, not the fans who stuck with this team through 20+ years of misery.
1/ Trump was found liable for sexually assaulting E Jean Carroll, defaming her, and now he’s going after her again.
Trump cannot be allowed to use the full weight and power of the US Government to come after women who speak up, or anyone who supports them in doing so.
