60 people have now died in ICE custody since Trump's return to office. Our country is set to spend $268 BILLION on mass deportations and detentions through the end of Trump's term. Instead of death and cruelty, imagine what we could have invested that money in instead?

When a worker wears an Amazon vest, drives an Amazon van and delivers on an Amazon-controlled route, but Amazon denies they work for the company — that's exploitation.

If it looks like an Amazon delivery and drives like an Amazon delivery, then it's an Amazon delivery, right? Not according to Amazon. Big companies like Amazon have built a vast network of subcontractors who deliver their packages while shielding them from accountability.

Ukraine was winning the war, so Trump kneecapped Ukraine to help Russia. I wish it weren’t that simple, but it is. Our president is in bed with our enemies.

Any adult who's been paying attention and knows basic human psychology knows this is true. And all Trump has to do is publicly deny this and demand to see Russia's and Israel's proof. But he will never do that, not in a million years – because he also knows it's true.

The best answer to Trump easing sanctions on Russia is hitting the Samara oil pipeline station for the third time today. The first two strikes happened on Oct 2 and Oct 7. Waiting for satellite images.
