"Indians in America are not forcing our religion onto you. We celebrate Thanksgiving and Christmas too. Hinduism does not seek to convert anyone," says a young Indian-American activist at a city council meeting in Texas amid rising anti-Indian racism

The sons of crooked Howard Lutnick, Trump's Secretary of Commerce, may be earning returns of three to five times their initial investment on each dollar used to acquire tariff refund rights.
Cantor Fitzgerald, currently led by Brandon and Kyle Lutnick, was purchasing companies’ tariff refund claims for roughly 20 to 30 cents per dollar.
This is the most corrupt administration in history.

THEY BURNED THEM ALIVE FOR WATCHING A FILM.
On the evening of August 19, 1978, four men walked into Cinema Rex in Abadan, Iran.
They carried cans of fuel. They spread it across the floor while the audience sat watching a movie.
Then they locked the doors from the outside…and set it on fire.
At least 400 people burned to death. Alive. Inside a locked building. Because they were watching a film.
Not because the film was dangerous. But because the cinema itself was considered an insult to Islam. A symbol of Western decadence.
A place where men and women sat together in the dark and were entertained. That was enough.
Since the beginning of 1978, Islamic extremists had already burned down 29 other cinemas across Iran. But those were empty. Cinema Rex was not.
And then came the lie.
Ayatollah Khomeini - who himself had called cinemas “centres for prostitution and the corruption of youth” - immediately blamed the Shah and his secret police SAVAK for the massacre.
Millions of Iranians believed him.
The outrage that followed accelerated the revolution.
The very men who burned 400 people alive used the bodies of their own victims as fuel for their political rise to power.
It took 23 years for the truth to come out.
One of the perpetrators eventually confessed - not out of remorse, but because he could no longer stand watching others receive credit for what he considered the ultimate act of sacrifice for Islam.
And the men behind the attack? Several of them went on to become members of the Iranian parliament.
The judge appointed to the case had ties to the very clerics suspected of involvement. The trial was a theatre. The victims were forgotten. Their names were erased from official calendars. No anniversaries were observed.
The Islamic Republic simply moved on.
This is who we are dealing with.
An ideology that burns people alive for watching a film. That blames its victims for its own crimes. That turns mass murder into a political weapon. That rewards its perpetrators with parliamentary seats.
And this is the ideology that Europe has spent decades tiptoeing around. Appeasing. Protecting from criticism. Calling it racism to name it out loud.
The Iranians know what it costs to get it wrong.
They paid with 47 years…and counting.
We are still pretending we have time to think about it.
Thank God for USA and Israel.❤️🔥🪽✝️ @realDonaldTrump @netanyahu

There are issues where I prefer Republicans (immigration/deportations, law n order, etc), but they have not earned the Midterms at all.
Blue f’n wave happening.

The 2-3 day "excursion" in Iran continues in its eighth week. Companies that passed on the price of Trump's illegal tariffs to consumers are applying for refunds today to put into their own pockets. Gas remains over $4 a gallon. Inflation is the highest in years. Consumer confidence is the lowest ever recorded. Credit card debt and hardship withdrawals from retirement accounts are at record highs. Housing and healthcare remain unaffordable. And the Republicans who control the entire federal government are sitting around blaming Biden, Obama, and the media instead of doing anything at all to improve the situation and help hard-working Americans who are struggling every day.

Billionaires love to justify their wealth by being like “Hey, I deserve this money because I create jobs!” and then leave out the part where those "jobs" are severely underpaid with terrible working conditions and mostly being done by malnourished children in overseas sweatshops.

Incompatible with American society and values.

@RBReich Good. Tracking federal authorities legally enforcing the law should come with appropriate punishment. Apps like that shouldn't exist.
And you're such a useless tool, you should be embarrassed. You're like a redundant calculator app that doesn't perform math correctly. Delete

My friend. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the streets tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people ration it to survive. A country where medical debt is the leading cause of bankruptcy. A country where women die in hospital parking lots because doctors are too afraid of abortion laws to provide abortion care.
You lock up more of your citizens than any other country on Earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're too poor to pay their mortgages.
Your life is going backwards. You're the only developed country where this is happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids are doing active shooting practice in math and English while you sell stock in weapons manufacturers to your friends. Your minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years. You have teachers working two jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges, and you just spent a billion dollars bombing a country that didn't attack you.
And you have a convicted felon, convicted rape, pedophile pimp, porn star, infiltrating rebels waging the largest war campaign since the Taliban—thanks a million for losing again.
And you call Greenland poorly governed?
Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest prison sentences in the world. No one goes bankrupt there because they got sick. No one dies in a waiting room because insurance said no.
"NATO wasn't there when we needed it." When exactly was that, champ? "9/11? For NATO, for the first and only time in history, Article 5 invoked FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries traveled there, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even part of NATO, and we showed up anyway. For 20 years.
And you left at 2 a.m. without telling anyone and letting them clean up.
So maybe before you start calling other countries names, look in your own backyard, you sunburned aluminum salesman. The only thing that's mishandled in this photo is your damn mouth.

What's so skilled about clerking in convenience stores, working in hotels and restaurants, driving trucks, doing gardening and lawn care, and cleaning offices that requires importing foreigners for those jobs? Eliminate all of the dozens of work-type visas! Jobs for Americans!

"We can't afford Universal Basic Income." Well gee, we afford trillion-dollar wars. Trillion-dollar tax cuts for the rich. Trillion-dollar bailouts for corporations. We afford what we choose to. The rest is a marketing story that ignores all the costs of poverty and insecurity.

This is the kind of thing that guarantees you get a right wing dictator.

NINETY PERCENT of jobs created since Feb 2020 have gone to foreigners. Young Americans are being forced to compete with the entire world for jobs in our own country.

Who wants to bet the tariff profits were already pocketed by politicians and wealthy insiders, so the burden of repayment will be shifted to the American taxpayer?
Who believes the tariffs were designed to fail so as to further ruin us economically?

BREAKING: The US Government has begun refunding up to $166 billion in tariffs charged under President Trump after the Supreme Court ruled the policy unlawful. Beginning today, businesses can file claims through a new customs system. Over 330,000 importers across 53 million shipments are expected to be eligible. Once approved, refunds plus interest will be paid within 60 to 90 days.

Corporations will get $166 billion in tariff refunds, including the 88 corporations that paid $0 in taxes in 2025.

Tariffs were a government-forced wealth transfer from Main Street to Wall Street
They illegally charged businesses tariffs
Those businesses raised your prices to pay for the new tax
The tariffs were later overruled
Businesses are now getting refunds plus interest on the illegal taxes
Prices are not going back down
Businesses profit from interest plus larger new margins
Stocks go up
Wealth transfer from Main Street to Wall Street
