Microsoft: $101 BILLION in profits. $12.5 BILLION in tax breaks. $176 BILLION in stock buybacks. 4,800 workers fired this week. 9,000 workers fired last year. Please don't tell me trickle-down economics works. It never did. Nothing trickles down.

People are scared, exhausted, and angry. ICE is using American tax dollars to fund mistreatment and abuse at detention centers across our country. Republicans and this president are ok with us being a country that implements this kind of cruelty, but we cannot be. This is not ok.
Our thoroughly corrupt electoral system.
Why do we bother obeying the law and paying our taxes when the President does neither? He is playing us all for fools!
Whitehouse: "Today I think is a sad and embarrassing day for this committee as it looks like on a party-line vote we are going to advance out of this committee probably the most discreditable person ever to seek the office of attorney general. Let's start with the Epstein files ... "
Yup. You did. And cancer research for children was first to go.
NO ONE wants Data Centers. NO ONE wants their cars tracking your every movements. NO ONE wants Flock camera's. So who the fuck is installing them? And why are we just taking it???
The whole point of the Bill of Rights is to protect the only true minority - the individual. It limits the governments power to harm the individual. The whole constitution is designed to limit the governments power.
Countries where it’s illegal to criticize the president: • Iran • China • Russia • North Korea • The United States
Trump has designated "Antifa" a domestic terrorist organization so that he can charge protesters with felony charges. Think it can't happen in the US, read about the Texas ICE protestors sentenced to 30-100 years in prison. www.pbs.org/newshour/cla...
Anti-ICE protesters sentenced to decades in prison in latest crackdown on dissent
The sentences range from 30 to 100 years in prison, longer than the harshest sentence given to any of the convicted rioters in the January 6 riots.

The people who falsely accused an Olympian of vandalizing the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool are the same people telling you to trust them about the war with Iran
The Fauci hearing was a disgrace. Here are some reminders of how it really went down in 2020. Never forget.
When Justice is blind, bad guys take the fifth. When justice is corrupt, good guys take the fifth. Feel free to share.
50 degrees celsius = 122 Fahrenheit in case you were wondering. At what point do Republicans stop telling us that climate change is not real?
@alexvonwitzleben.bsky.social · last wk.A weather model suggests temperatures of almost 50 degrees are possible in France. Anyone who claims there is no climate change, who disparages science in this field, or who denies that human activity is the cause, is making a statement that has nothing to do with reality #ClimateEmergency #FarRight
The worst thing about AI is how nobody trusts anything as being real anymore. The death of truth is the ultimate victory of evil.
Americans go home and lull themselves into the cocoon of Netflix, sports — whatever and purposely tune out from the daily juggernaut of this authoritarian regime. We are not in normal times. We should be marching every day and night. Before it’s too late.
Data Centers are not "job creators." They are resource extractors, siphoning off our water and power.
It's not a disagreement about politics. Itr's a morality/decency thing.
We need to return to a country that believes in science and higher education
And when states try to block these massive resource-sucking data centers, trump will override them by saying they are necessary for national security.
Christopher Webb@cwebbonline.com · last wk.Trump isn’t just pushing AI data centers, he’s invested in them. Financial disclosure records show he personally owns millions of dollars in companies tied to the data center industry, including operators, hardware suppliers, and power and cooling infrastructure. It doesn’t stop there… 1/2
Wolfers: For nine out of the last 10 presidencies, if you’d said, “How much should we blame the president for what’s going on with the economy right now?” I would have said that the president is just one factor among many. That’s what I would have said nine out of 10 times. This is the 10th time.
