I'd love to credit whoever wrote this. No idea. But I'm 100% with its message. When I think of how the '80s ethos, "Greed is Good" has metastasized, it surprises and depresses me. Imagine having so many millions, hundred of millions, even billions & caring about nothing except your own vanity.

Every other day, 83-year-old Marilyn Tewa of the Hopi Tribe loads buckets into her pickup and drives 5 miles to haul water. “That’s what keeps us alive,” Tewa said. Four states stand in the way of a deal to give her community water.

Native American Tribes Came Together to Secure Their Rights to Colorado River Water. Four States Are Stalling the Deal.

Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming are resisting the deal because it would allow the Navajo and Hopi to lease water to cities downstream, likely the growing towns around Phoenix.

They never cared about women’s sports before it became politically convenient. Equal pay? Pfffft. Rampant sexual abuse? Sorry that keeps happening. An excuse to attack a tiny population of vulnerable transgender athletes? “PROTECT WOMENS’ SPORTS!”

Americans have a high tolerance for scandal-plagued candidates. Especially Trump’s MAGA base, our new poll found. Two-thirds of self-identified MAGA Trump voters say they would continue supporting a GOP candidate accused of sexual assault. 🔗 politi.co/4g0TeHs

Six congressmen bought between $83,000 to $245,000 in SpaceX stock just before its IPO: -Jared Moskowitz -Gil Cisneros -Dan Meuser -John McGuire -William Timmons -John James Five serve on committees whose work impacts SpaceX's business. We must ban members of Congress from trading stock.

MAGA bro thinks I would be offended because he didn’t invite me to go fishing with him and his racist, misogynistic, alcoholic friends from out of state. The Kenaitze tribe should ban all these outta state racists from getting fishing licenses for the Kenai River.

Until the native hospital can make behavioral health appts > than 15 min and it’s not a hassle for disabled people to make it to appts, and they don’t change your primary provider every few months, and they listen when you say I don’t want to see that a hole social worker ever again…

The 6 largest oil companies will collectively rake in $45B in profits in the second quarter of 2026 — nearly double what they made in the first quarter. Meanwhile, Canada, France, and Spain are battling record-breaking wildfires spurred by the climate crisis. Big Oil profits while the world burns.

Do white people ever think, "I wonder what it would be like if every book I read or TV or film only had Black people in them?" Just constantly inundated with images of Black people, in our vastness. Probably not, but, I dare say, it would change how they view everything. Representation matters.

GOP Sen Dan Sullivan of Alaska thought it would be fun to stand by the Confederate flag & recite the Declaration of Independence. ALASKA, last I heard, was not in the South-not part of the Confederacy.Doesn't pretend this is their heritage. His opponent is Mary Peltola. #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

GOP senator recites Declaration of Independence — next to a Confederate flag

As he stood a few feet from a Confederate flag, Sen. Dan Sullivan noted that everyone is guaranteed the right to “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”

Social services in Alaska be like: Call a dozen places to be put on hold for an extended period of time or transferred to voicemail. Then you’re eligible if you can flip over backwards, spin around, and touch your nose while bopping your head. Also, your paperwork was due yesterday.

The asshole that owns the Dodgers also owns the Lakers. Oh, and he’s also under federal investigation for a 16 billion dollar fraud scheme. Will that ring be enough for a pardon?
