Just spent $66.05 at McDonald’s for a family of five. 🤯 Nothing extravagant was ordered. Everybody got a value meal and it had a couple of desserts. W.T.F! Does it actually cost that much or is McDonald’s trying to take advantage of the economy situation? 😭

CARTOON OF THE DAY 😕🇺🇸 (From @andertoon.bsky.social )

One day, the sycophants will be gone, and the new players will not have such a hard on for this convicted criminal. Only then will we be able to rebuild this grand experiment called the United States.

Tomorrow #Fairbanks! @fbxclimateaction.bsky.social

Excellent. People are pissed. Now do something about it. Have you registered to vote? Do you have all the documentation you need in order to do so? Start planning now. Anger is good. Action is better.

Tesla saved $400 million on its federal taxes by shifting billions of its U.S. profits to countries with lower tax rates. Yes: While you paid your taxes in full, giant corporations maneuvered to pay as little as possible — and it’s all perfectly legal for them. The system is rigged.

Effective 2025 federal tax rates paid by these corporations: Alphabet: 8.01% AT&T: 4.6% Meta: 3.57% General Motors: 3.09% Amazon: 1.37% Exxon Mobil: 1.31% Disney: -1.57% CVS Health: -3.88% Income tax rate paid by the typical American: 14.5% This is what a rigged system looks like.

Amazon, which saved $4B in taxes under Trump's Big Ugly Bill, has cut 30,000 jobs since last October. Verizon, which saved $2B, plans to cut 15,000 jobs this year. Meta, which saved $3B, plans to lay off 20% or more of its workforce. Trickle-down economics is a cruel joke.

The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress beforehand, or our allies, or coherently explain to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop this.

Another beautiful Easter message from the President who loves Jesus with all his heart and soul.

Rewatching old @ricksteves.bsky.social Art of Europe on @pbs.org I’m reminded how much I love his detailed and interesting explorations of spaces I may never get to in my life, but I can share with my art students so that they too can dream of an amazing trip to see beautiful art. ❤️❤️❤️🤩

#ICE going to work TSA? What could go wrong?

Bill Hill is so close. But he can’t say he won’t caucus with pedophile protectors, war mongers, and moral bankruptcy. He’s just so close, but he still dances around the truth. That makes me sad. For that I’ll rank him second unless this changes.

h/t to @adammockler.com for pointing out this gem from 2016.

About 70% of the U.S. economy runs on consumer spending. But as wealth concentrates at the top, the richest 10% can’t spend enough to sustain it — while everyone else can’t afford to. Reminder that trickle-down economics simply doesn’t make sense. It’s a hoax.

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years: Tax cuts for the rich ...don’t trickle down Boosting military spending ...doesn’t bring peace Slashing regulations ...doesn’t create jobs Folks, we’ve seen this all before.

Like clockwork.

If every person who has attempted or plans to attend a No Kings March votes Blue in the midterm election Congress can be retaken. Think about what this simple act can accomplish. Be sure you double check that you are registered to vote well in advance. This is a very patriotic act .

Just like Venezuela does not send fentanyl to the U.S. and Iraq did not have weapons of mass destruction. It’s all been false flags to justify military aggression and war.

They always say you get what you vote for. I must wonder, those of you who voted for Trump, did you vote for another forever war? Was this what you really wanted?

The costs of this Iran war debacle will likely be more than the cost of extending the ACA health insurance subsidies. If you asked Americans, which do you want: another war in the Middle East or lower health care costs at home, is the margin 90 to 10? 95 to 5?

When nobody fights for Alaskans we must fight for ourselves: 🚨Register to vote now 🚨Check registration status 45 days before the election 🚨Vote out Republicans Dan Sullivan and Nick Begich 3 🚨Elect Dems up & down the ballot 🚨Write & call your #akleg to vote no on Acting AG Cox www.akleg.gov/poms/

This article is important to understand that Sullivan sponsored the #SAVEact and doesn’t really care that it will disenfranchise at least half of Alaskans eligible to vote, mostly women, natives, rural residents, and Alaskans abroad including military. Vote @marypeltola.com.

kinda long 🧵. 1/ Over the weekend, I attended the AK Democratic Party Central Cmte mtg. We heard from all of the D candidates for statewide office (Tom Begich, JKT, & Matt Claman for Gov, & Matt Schultz for Congress) & from the Ind candidate for statewide office (Bill Hill for Congress).

FYI: If Trump weren't a pedophile, he would be suing for defamation.

It’s not just who leads. It’s who enables. #SheShed #Voices4Victory

Not sure who needs to hear this but the voter fraud rate is a mere 0.000003%. Anyone telling you otherwise is making shit up so they can take away your right to vote.

CBP didn’t give her or anyone any water; she asked 3 times accg to other reports. CBP killed a 7yr old. “8 hours after the girl & her father were taken into custody, she began having seizures & her body temperature was measured at 105.7 degrees by emergency medical technicians. shorturl.at/d2OTJ

Epstein raping and murdering children with his buddies isn't political It just isn't

Today Alaska Rep Nick Begich 3 proudly voted to disenfranchise the votes of women who have changed their last names, overseas military, 9 million Americans abroad, and Alaskans who can’t register to vote in person and/or can’t afford or have the ability to get birth certificates or passports.

We have a federal administration led by idiots and criminals.

Republicans are still trying to pass the SAVE Act—a bill that would make it harder to vote and disenfranchise millions of Americans. Join @redistrictingaction.org and tell your member of Congress to vote no: act.redistrictingaction.org/a/natl-saveact-cte

A backgrounder is someone who conducts background checks.
