We gave healthcare CEOs tax breaks.

They bought yachts while denying cancer patients treatment.

We gave healthcare corporations tax breaks.

Shareholder profits boomed while families were forced to choose between insulin and rent.

What are we doing here?

Harvard can't use someone's race to decide if they are going to be a student, but ICE can use a student's race to decide if they are going to detain/incarcerate them.

According to the Supreme Court, race can only be a factor if you want hurt, not help, someone.

They’re claiming the signature isn’t real but I’m going to remind everyone that 11000+ photographs and videos were removed from Epstein’s properties by the FBI and this is the tip of the fcking iceberg.

And I think everyone in the GOP knows it.

He brought Kennedy on board to debase the family. Same reason he paved over Jackie’s Rose Garden and gutted the Kennedy Center. RFK Jr goes along because he and former his law firm stand to make millions from suing over vaccines.

It's about killing the poor. It's about killing anyone who isn't rich. It's about making them suffer and putting them under heel. Eventually people will realize this and react, but right now, creature comforts while boiling in the pot is the thing.

Eventually when the fascists have consolidated...

Your papers, please - Wikipedia

Wikipedia says the phrase "Your papers, please" is "a cultural metaphor for life in a police state."

BREAKING: In Chicago, Illinoisβ€”U.S. citizens protesting ICE were dragged into vans by masked federal agents with no badges and no warrants.

I've known
Jeff [Epstein] for 15 years.
Terrific guy, He's a lot of fun to be with.
It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side." Trump told New York magazine in 2002.
