The #FBI has identified many people who incited violence at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, but it still needs your help to bring others to justice. If the person in this photo looks familiar, submit a tip at tips.fbi.gov or 1-800-CALL-FBI, and mention photo #235-AFO..

These 2 charts make it pretty clear where Canada's wealth lies: land.
We could tax away every billionaire's net worth and it wouldn't come close to the impact of a land value tax to bring down the cost of housing and lower taxes on jobs and homes.

“When people talk about, ‘I will see them again in heaven,’ it sounds so good, but the reality is that we won’t see each other again after we’re gone. That’s the sad part. I know people feel comfortable with death, but I don’t.”

Reminder: Prior to 1982, stock buybacks were considered stock manipulation. It was Reagan's SEC that opened the floodgates to their abuse.
Stock buybacks don’t create more jobs. They don't increase wages. They don’t grow the economy.
They make corporate execs richer.

Here's what happened three years ago, on Jun 2, 2020. Trump did a Rose Garden/Police riot/pose-with-a-bible stunt. He then called out faceless Imperial Storm Troopers to stand on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.
That really happened.
And he wants to be president again.

In the 1940s, the U.S. had universal child care. Families today are paying up to $17,000 per child each year. I’m working on a bill to provide care at $10 per day while guaranteeing an investment in good wages for workers.

$80 million was transferred from a DeSantis Florida state PAC to his campaign coffers in a move prohibited by the Federal Election Commission.

Thirteen years ago the Supreme Court decided corporations are people under the First Amendment.
Today, sold-out politicians block progress on all fronts to appease their corporate donors.
Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

your reminder that Mitch McConnell fell and hit his head and spent five weeks recovering and the entire Democratic party wished him a speedy recovery, because Democrats are not barrel-bottom ghouls

Fascinating development — the King James Bible will be removed from school library shelves in younger grades in Davis Co., Utah, following a parent's and FFRF's objection to banning of "indecent" books while leaving the bible on shelves. msn.com/en-us/news/us/king-j…

the wildest thing about Joe Biden tripping on a sandbag is that Donald Trump stole classified war plans, hid them, moved them, lied about returning them, showed them off to god knows how many random people and probably even sold them. for fuck's sake, people, FOCUS

Recent report that DeSantis steered pension funds to Wall Street money managers who donated to his campaign. If accurate, this is *huge.* Would mean he's ripping off state employees—cops, teachers, etc. Also potentially criminal. More investigation needed.

Tax cuts for the wealthy have long drawn support from Republicans who argue that such measures will “trickle down” and eventually boost jobs and incomes. A study by LSE* says 50 years of such tax cuts have only helped one group — the rich. (2021)
