Meta paid an effective fed tax rate of 3.5% on its latest tax bill — its lowest on record. Mark Zuckerberg's net worth just hit $222 billion. And Meta is pumping $65 million into elections this year to boost AI friendly candidates. Now it's reportedly planning to lay off 15,000 workers. Hello?
What person in their right mind would send their children to die in a corrupt politician’s war? Evidently we no longer have to wonder.
21 Republicans voted against the funding bill. If Democrats were a united block it would have failed and DHS would NOT have been funded. But these 21 corporate Democrats, including my corrupt congressman @repbillfoster.bsky.social happily voted with the MAGA Trump agenda, and the vote passed.
Your reminder that Amazon... -Provides cloud services that help fuel ICE's deportation machine -Donated $1 million to Trump's inauguration fund -Scrapped plans to display tariff costs after pressure from Trump -Shelled out $40M for a documentary about Melania Trump
F-U Dems who voted *for* this war-crime funding!!!
Qasim Rashid, Esq.@qasimrashid.com · 7mo agoThis week 7 Democrats joined MAGAs to pass $28B in funding for ICE fascists with zero actual restrictions or accountability. The bill would not have passed without those 7 Democrats. I list their names, their numbers, and a script to use while calling them. qasimrashid.substack.com/p/minnesota-...
7 democrats voted with MAGA republicans to push through ICE funding. If they voted no, it would’ve been blocked. Hakeem Jeffries can’t get his caucus in order to stop ICE fascists as they arrest without judicial warrants, kidnap children, & kill citizens. Indefensible (Image via @indivisible.org)
So to make sure I got this right—the man who bombed 7 nations, kidnapped a head of state & stole their oil, is threatening to invade Greenland to launch international war on Europe, while sending the military to wage domestic war with Americans—just accepted a second hand Nobel Peace prize. Got it.
MAGAs: The left is escalating the rhetoric by calling us Nazis Also MAGAs: Look at our new podium, featuring a Nazi slogan about the time Nazis wiped out an entire village in Czechoslovakia and killed up to 5000 innocent people in retaliation for one Nazi being killed. "One of ours, all of yours."
Whether by opposing the Fugitive Slave Act, refusing Segregation, or legalizing Cannabis— States have a LONG history of opposing Federal oppression. Now, Democratic States must enact Soft Secession to oppose Trump's fascism & prevent our residents from starving. www.qasimrashid.com/p/blue-state...
Blue States: It Is Time For Soft Secession
Democratic run State and County Govts contribute 71% of the United States economy, and it's past time they flexed their muscle to protect our humanity

Why do headlines say "norms shattered" when what is meant is "laws broken" or "Constitution violated"?
SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in a college applicant's file is blatantly unconstitutional ALSO SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in targeting whom to detain and deport is cool cool cool
Trump will spend his weekend promoting a new golf course at his resort in Scotland – costing taxpayers an estimated $10 million. After this jaunt, he will have spent at least $52 million of taxpayer money on golf trips. If that’s not fraud, waste, and abuse, I don’t know what is.

"Donald Trump didn’t stumble into protecting Nazis and sex criminals. He’s making deliberate choices that reflect who he is and what he values: power without accountability, loyalty without truth, and cruelty without consequence." #EpsteinFiles #TrumpTyranny
Qasim Rashid, Esq.@qasimrashid.com · last yr.A man who aligns himself with child rapists like Jeffery Epstein & Ghislaine Maxwell, fires Inspector Generals, pardons Nazis, & fires the people prosecuting sex crimes—is a man who is telling us that he is a Nazi & a sex abuser. But will MAGAs still support him? www.qasimrashid.com/p/will-the-e...
Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants. Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this. Do not.
Never before in U.S. history has one man exercised such unbridled discretion affecting the lives of so many, while simultaneously preventing others — Congress, the courts, the American people — from having a say or even knowing what he’s going to do next. This is dictatorship.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
I've said this before and I'll say this again -- why FIFA and IOC think having the 26 World Cup and 28 Summer Olympics in the United States will be anything but a disaster for non-white athletes is beyond me. Below is a preview of what to expect. This is fascistic.
Nanjala@nanjala.bsky.social · last yr.The US has denied the visas of all 12 members of the Senegalese women’s basketball team who were scheduled to travel to the country as part of their preparation for the Afrobasket tournament that begins in August. Afrobasket is also the African qualifiers for the Olympics. #wnba

At no point in this entire article of 16 paragraphs does ABC mention that another cop killed this cop by shooting her in the back. Nor does it mention the name of the cop who killed this cop. Nor does it mention that the civilians involved never fired at them. ABC might as well be state media.
Here’s a clear example of the Feds making things worse on the ground in L.A.
A reminder that the man who ignited violence at the George Floyd protests was identified by police as a white supremacist conspiring to harm the causes of racial justice. Felt like that’s important to share as we observe the Trump regime spew an onslaught of disinformation about LA.
