In America we’ll be paying the same income taxes as always PLUS price increases to cover trump’s tariffs.

In return we’ll receive fewer government services due to trump firings and illegally refusing to spend $$ directed by Congress to pay for those services.

All this pain is to give a few billionaires tax cuts, or because we elected an incompetent as president, or both!

Eight Things You Can Do to Stop #ICE

2025-02-11, via #CrimethInc

"The #Trump administration is paving the way for #MassDeportations by building new #PrisonCamps and invoking the #AlienEnemiesAct, which was used to justify the internment of #JapaneseAmericans during World War II. Motivated by nativism and white nationalism, Steven Miller and other officials are attempting to ethnically cleanse the United States, while tech and prison companies profit on lucrative government contracts and corporations continue to exploit immigrant labor. Knowing that mass deportations will inflict devastating costs, Trump has chiefly been concentrating his efforts in cities like Chicago and Denver that are governed by his political adversaries.

"Nonetheless, people are getting organized. Communities across the US are mobilizing rapid response networks that can respond to raids and support those targeted by #StateViolence. Students across the US are staging #walkouts; people are holding mass #demonstrations and fighting back against deportations.

"If we fail to stand in solidarity with those targeted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) today, the same infrastructure of repression will eventually be turned against others, as well. An injury to one is an injury to all!

"Do your part to melt the ICE."

#Israel’s formal #DeclarationOfWar against #Hamas on Sunday, opens the way for major #escalation.

The authorization of #war by the Israeli cabinet would allow the govt to carry out a wider #mobilization of #military reserves & use more military options. It also compels the govt to identify specific #WartimeObjectives, raising the specter of a #GroundInvasion of #Gaza.
