As @rbreich.bsky.social notes billionaires and their families own X, Paramount, CBS, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, the Washington Post, Amazon, MGM, Fox News, the Wall Street Journal and New York Post, and could soon own Warner Bros and CNN And they are all Trump supporters "Liberal media" indeed
BREAKING: Trump’s ICE bans Christians and all people from praying “in front of or inside” the Broadview ICE facility. So, forced prayer in school is good, but volunteer prayer for the prisoner is banned. This is what white nationalist Christianity looks like. This is Trump’s fascist America. Smh.

The world is protesting Israel’s illegal interception of the Global Sumud Flotilla. #FreePalestine
"I have no regrets at all" Irish comedian Tadhg Hickey sends a message from the Global Sumud Flotilla.
Where is Greta Thunberg? Where is Yvonne Ridley? Where is David Adler? Where is Tadhg Hickey?
Free Greta Thunberg, Free Mandla Mandela, Free Tadhg Hickey and free the hundreds of others Israel holds.
