The vicious and corrupt cycle of monopolization: 1) Corporations argue that their growth is just part of the free market. 2) Use their monopoly power to price gouge consumers and shaft workers. 3) Use profits to make political donations. 4) Lobby against antitrust enforcement. 5) Repeat.

The number of decent people in Hollywood is minuscule, but Mark is def a decent guy. Appreciate his advocacy on so many issues. @markruffalo.bsky.social

This is just the beginning. They don't want anyone who isn't rich to have healthcare at all.

JD Vance’s Anti-Fraud Task Force to Boot More Than Half a Million Americans From Obamacare: Report

A recent survey found that 92% of U.S. adults have delayed or avoided medical care due to high costs. Meanwhile, a new study from Yale estimates that Medicare for All would save over 114,000 lives and $1 trillion a year. If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have universal healthcare.

Republicans cannot be trusted with any kind of power ever again.

More corruption.

A huge thank you to CNN, MS NOW, Politico, ABC News, CBS News, NBC News, Fox News, PBS News, NPR, The New York Times, The Washington Post, HuffPost, the Associated Press, Reuters, Getty Images, and AFP for standing together in defense of a free press.

A prominent election denier with ties to Ginni Thomas was implicated in a far-reaching corruption plot involving Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME). ProPublica reported that Martin Kao, former CEO of the Hawaii-based defense firm Navatek, told FBI agents and

DoorDash has ripped off more than 260,000 NYC delivery workers. We’re making them pay $131.5 million — the largest worker settlement in City history. This is New York, where hard work pays and greed will cost you.

Trump, Vance,Thiel, Musk, the Heritage Foundation and ATLAS Network are literally destroying civilization, democracy and our planet These are the most dangerous lunatics in history and voting alone will sadly not be enough to fix this

It's Newsom and Bonta.

The worst part of Bonta caving on the Paramount merger is that it's a big flashing signal to every other company that there is no antitrust enforcement in America and you can bully your way into getting whatever you want. It's a monumentally bad decision.

These are two of the least liked guys in Texas. "You don't like Ken Paxton. Why is Elon Musk supporting him?" seems like an easy sell to a majority of Texans. Talarico and the national Ds should make noise about this.

Elon Musk is flying under the radar in the Texas Senate race. Republicans want to keep it that way.

One Republican involved in the Texas Senate contest called Musk’s in-your-face campaigning in Wisconsin last year “a mistake.”

Bloomberg reports that officials directly involved in an internal Pentagon investigation found that Peter Thiel’s Palantir Maven Smart System played a significant role in the February 28 U.S. strike on the Shajareh Tayyebeh Elementary School in Minab, Iran.

Octopus farming is extremely unethical and stupid. These creatures among the smartest species in the entire planet, with complex emotional lives. To subject these being to a lifetime of confinement and suffering in barren tanks before a slow and agonising death needs to stop. Please sign this 👇🏼

Octopuses are among the most extraordinary animals on Earth. They solve puzzles, use tools and even recognise individual people. But octopus farming would subject these intelligent animals to a lifeti

Five corporations control 90% of the US media. Airlines have merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

Trump appointed more than 20 former Fox News hosts and contributors to cabinet and senior administration positions during his second term. We’re literally being governed by propagandists… And, bad ones, at that. Enjoy. 😎✨

So the US is “working on a deal” to buy Potash from a dictator allied with Putin instead of Canada.

The elections weren’t “rigged” for 45 other Presidents.

Stop calling it a climate problem. Call it what it is: organized greed. The planet isn’t dying. It’s being killed for profit. The killers have names. And boardrooms. #ClimateJustice #StopEcocide

A “free press” means that the President does not get to make this distinction. A “free press” that is only free if it agrees with me is not free.

We regret that your Monday Morning commute may be delayed… Management recommends you stay home and play with your cat instead…

From the people who told you that straight white male privilege doesn’t exist…

Up is down. ‘1984’ is upon us. 🇺🇸

It is a mystery why any American voter would support the GOP that has rejected the US constitution as the basis of OUR republic! Without constitution-based rule of law, YOU HAVE NO RIGHTS! Without rights, those with power can do ANYTHING to YOU, including MURDER IN THE STREETS! #usdemocracy

Tell me this doesn’t give you chills. Japan opened the 12D theater. It is beyond your imagination.
