Corporations spent $1 trillion this year in stock buybacks, shattering records. Meanwhile, they claim they can’t afford to pay you real wages. Buybacks were illegal for a generation for a reason. They funnel money further upward and away from workers.
This is corrupt, illegal, and completely untethered from scientific reality.
Trump is pushing species to the brink to let his billionaire, big industry buddies ravage and obliterate our country to turn a quick buck. This won’t just hurt creatures - it will have major impacts on communities that depend on thriving ecosystems for their businesses, clean air and water, and way of life.
This is an instantly impeachable offense. The president abused his office to procure a fraudulent financial settlement. Without precedent in its brazenness and corruption.
Such people are incapable of being patriots. If you can't temporarily adjust your AC to preserve the power grid you will never make any greater sacrifice for your country or community. You are mentally a spoiled child. You are soft and weak.
As I wrote a year ago, watch the actions of the Trump admin through the eyes of someone who has watched democracy turn into autocracy. Centralizing election authority, expanding federalized troops and putting them in the streets, cracking down on the press. It's not original.
The Trump administration has been dramatically reducing the amount of federal data available to the public—and “this new reality risks clouding our understanding of the economy, public health, and the environment,” @will_gottsegen argues: https://t.co/LMx6JUsJJZ
The Trump admin now allows endangered animal habitats to be used for drilling, farming, mining, and real estate development.
Under a new Interior Department rule, eliminating endangered species habitats is no longer illegal.
Cyclosporiasis, the parasite causing the current explosive diarrhea outbreak, is at a level 20x higher than its yearly average.
This comes just 1 year after the Trump admin removed a cyclospora tracking mandate from the 'Foodborne Disease Active Surveillance Network.'
If you are born into a family with financial security l actually think dedicating your life to actively trying to help people is probably the best you could do.
If it had been Talarico caught voting illegally, the prevailing narrative would have been that the election is over for him
The reverse should also be true for Paxton
“He raped me.”
“Donald J Trump had raped her along with Jeffrey Epstein.”
“She was found with her head ‘blown off’… there was no way it was a suicide.”
Just because Trump refused to release the Epstein files, doesn’t mean the Republicans who protect him don’t know what’s in them.
