Absorb this graph—but note that the final year is 2018, the year of Trump’s tax cuts. That’s #Trump’s big goal, always has been: to rip off working people and hand huge bags of cash to the ultra-wealthy, like himself and his Mar-a-Lago buddies.
Rutger Bregman:
Stunning graph: the plummeting tax rates of the richest Americans. For the first time in history, billionaires have a lower effective tax rate than working-class Americans.
Colin Jost: "Can we just acknowledge how refreshing it is to see a president of the United States at an event that doesn't begin with a bailiff saying 'all rise'?"
The jury questionnaire for #Trump’s upcoming hush money/interference trial in New York is now public.

“Spoken like a true liberal. What’s the phrase, “I don’t agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it”? Well, fascism is extremely effective against liberalism for precisely this reason, and fascists have used this fact to undermine liberalism from within.”
This as you try to justify throwing people you don’t like in prison “for no legit reason.” So you=fascist you claim to hate

Thanks for all your feedbacks. Since most of you see it as [unmarked] sarcasm, I will give that account the benefit of the the doubt for the time being and remove the block.
It's a bit sad when people block you for a post without even looking at your bio. Liberals on Twitter are so used to trolls that they continue playing #WhackATroll in here. Not really understanding that some threads are people learning & collaborating.
Being free to discuss, even criticise Biden, as a way of understanding solutions to the fuckery facing us.
I get these "Fuck you Russian troll!" messages, then the account dissappear.
I hate Putin just as much as they do.
I also hate genocide.
@GottaLaff The decline of American justice system...
Boy, the land of the free really fell into a tyrany while all the "liberals" cheer and clap.
I think Biden's dementia is more viral than Covid could ever be.
