Next year, Donald Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" will hand $67 BILLION of YOUR taxpayer dollars over to corporations for a single tax break.

Why? To "incentivize" research these companies did years ago.

Let that sink in. YOUR money being used to boost Amazon's profits even more.

One father, a U.S. citizen, walked into a green-card interview with his wife & 4-month-old baby.

He walked out with the baby in his arms…& his wife in ICE custody.

No criminal record, just families being separated. Trump said he would only go after violent criminals, he lied.

🚨BREAKING: ICE/Border Patrol agents have once again been caught illegally aiming assault rifles at unarmed U.S. citizens… this time in a residential neighborhood in St. Paul, Minnesota.

During a protest, agents can be seen walking down the street away from the crowd, one with a rifle drawn.

As the heavily armed agent passes a resident, the man appears to say something to him, and that’s all it takes…

The agent shoves the man backward and points his rifle directly at an unarmed civilian in broad daylight.

Within seconds, other agents swarm in and drag their thin-skinned, out-of-control colleague away from the crowd…

Bottom line: this wasn’t a tense situation. It was a federal agent, poorly trained and totally unchecked, breaking the law on camera… and walking away like nothing happened.

Deporting a 19-year-old college student who’s lived here since age 8 and doing it in defiance of a federal judge’s order, isn’t “border security.”

It’s the government breaking the law to punish a kid.

This is the part of the story they don’t want you to look at.

ICE detains wife of U.S. Marine Staff Sergeant—who served 20 years and 2 tours in Afghanistan.

She had just finished the final interview for green card—suddenly agents handcuffed her.

"We do everything that we can to protect and serve our country. And then they go and betray us by treating us like we've never done anything."

"Yes, I do kind of feel betrayed, to be honest," concluded her husband, Staff Sergeant Samuel Shasteen.

"Any other time in U.S. history, her green card would have been approved," said lawyer—even if she did technically overstay her visa as ICE claims.

His wife is now locked up at the notoriously harsh Otay Mesa Detention Center in San Diego, California. #DemsUnited

People are finally seeing HomeDepot owned by rich folks who don't care about the consumer
Helped trump get elected
And allows ICE gestapo to abuse immigrants
My question:
What took so long
Boycotts are We the People's most powerful weapon right now
More than Epstein/midterms

Trump is taking credit. And NY Times headline:

"U.S. Announces Negotiated Prices for 15 Drugs Under Medicare.

But buried lede "The negotiations were enabled by a law enacted during the Biden administration without any Republican votes."

[Masih Alinejad @AlinejadMasih]

STOP comparing Afghan women in burqas with Christian nuns.

1- Nuns do not get beaten, jailed, or killed if they remove their veil.

2-Their commitment applies only to themselves not to every woman in the country.

3-In Iran and Afghanistan, it doesn’t matter if you’re Muslim or not, believer or atheist, you must wear Islamic hijab or face violence.
4-And guess what? In Christianity the men take the vows too.

So how about you try the Taliban model you’re defending, cover your face, shut your mouth, obey or get beaten?
Let’s see how long you still call it a “choice .”

The Affordable Care Act tax credits expire next month.

House Republicans refuse to extend them.

These extremists are unfit to govern.

Kristi Noem is guilty of crimes against humanity, and she needs to face justice.

📌 She made the final call to defy a court order to halt deportation flights, sending people into the hellscape of CECOT in El Salvador, a place the UN has compared to a torture chamber. We’re talking starvation, beatings, rapes reported by inmates, and conditions so brutal they meet the global definition of abuse.

Prosecute her and everyone involved.

[Suzie rizzio @Suzierizzo1]

There are masked men impersonating ICE agents and there’s no way of verifying if they’re real of not since they won’t show any ID or badge. These men have now raped numerous Latino women in different States and also robbed them! Something has to be done to stop this! 😡

Vicente has been missing for seven weeks after being taken into DHS’ custody and experiencing a medical emergency.

His family has no answers on where he is or if he is safe.

The Trump Administration cannot get away with disappearing people.

ICE pepper spray disabled woman using a cane—directly at her face from point blank range.

Agents then shove her down hard to the ground—after she was already incapacitated and stumbling backwards.

This is second incident of excessive force in St. Paul, Minnesota this past week.

A statement released by ICE claims agents were conducting a targeted arrest—and deployed chemical irritants against the woman for officer safety.

The most recent event took place on Tuesday in the Payne-Phalen neighborhood on the east side of St. Paul, Minnesota. #DemsUnited

In Phoenix, Arizona, ICE/Border Patrol agents casually admitted on camera that they broke the law and assaulted a U.S. citizen…

In the video, the agent justifies smashing a car window and dragging a man out by saying, “your brother didn’t get out of the car.”

The driver replies, “And you didn’t have a warrant.”

And the agent… with the confidence of someone who’s never even looked at the Constitution… snaps back: “I don’t need a warrant… you should probably learn the law.”

Which is wild, since he’s the one violating it, all while having his weapon drawn.

For the record: the Fourth Amendment bars exactly this kind of warrantless search and seizure. ICE’s powers under 8 U.S.C. § 1357 don’t allow them to break into a vehicle just because someone didn’t hop out fast enough, especially a passenger. Violating someone’s rights under color of law is a federal crime under 18 U.S.C. § 242. And smashing a window to drag out a citizen without legal cause isn’t “immigration enforcement”… it’s assault under Arizona law.

ICE loves to say “ignorance of the law is no excuse,” but apparently that motto doesn’t apply when they’re the ones clueless.

If a random guy did this, he’d be in handcuffs.

When ICE does it on camera? They call it “Tuesday.”

Maybe before lecturing people to “learn the law,” these agents could try reading it.

[Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal]

The Trump regime is disappearing people to indefinite detention in third countries they’ve never been to, often giving them no chance to contest their deportation and breaking U.S. and international law.

Cruelty and inhumanity beyond belief. https://t.co/CJp3d6SYVz

ICE detain parents dropping daughter off at middle school—leave girl behind alone in passenger seat.

"Bringing your kid to school and getting picked up by ICE," cries woman filming.

"Are you guys gonna call somebody for her... why are you just leaving her here?" she asks agent.

"Go take somebody else that’s actually committing a crime!" she yells. "Not taking their kid to school!"

The incident occurred near West Lake STEM Middle School in West Valley City, Utah. #DemsUnited

#WeAintBuyingIt — Target, Amazon, Home Depot. Your aisles are stocked with exploitation, your profits built on broken backs. This holiday, we’re walking out to shop local.

Local isn’t a trend — it’s a revolution. We won't put money in the pockets of fascists.

[Christopher Webb @cwebbonline]

These posters started popping up ahead of next week’s We Ain’t Buying It boycott.

From Nov 27 - Dec 1, folks are stepping back from Target, Home Depot, and Amazon. People are done being squeezed, so they are using the leverage of their wallets 💥

ICE detains teenage student at Boston Airport—flying home to surprise family for Thanksgiving.

Despite judge's order expressly blocking deportation—agents took her to Honduras just hours later.

"It's Thanksgiving, we're supposed to be with our families. And yet she's taken away from her family," said her lawyer.

Lucia Lopez Belloza was brought by her family to the U.S. at age 8—and was unaware of any outstanding removal order against her.

She was a first-semester business major at Babson College in Wellesley, Massachusetts. #DemsUnited

@ImmDef has been searching for Vicente for 46 days since his family called our Rapid Response line just hours after he was arrested in South LA on Oct 7.

He is still missing.
