The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020 — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%.
It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low.
We must unrig the system.

Under Trump, ICE has detained over 500 babies and toddlers.
How is the GOP responding to this moral obscenity? By rubber-stamping another $70B in new DHS funding.
This was never about "border security." It was always about cruelty.

Another day, another push for an "alternative" census, because of course. I've been getting more and more texts that are just from WinRed and not a specific campaign, and I'm very curious how WinRed is using these "donations".

The Maah Daah Hey Trail in North Dakota’s Badlands is one of the most celebrated hiking and biking routes in America. 144 miles of singletrack winding through some of the most remote and stunning landscape in the country. The Trump administration is putting it on the chopping block.

There is no drawdown. There is no retreat. ICE is just redistributing their assets to better avoid accountability.

Nothing has changed in Minnesota. Nice words from the Admin won’t change that. ICE leaving will.
