The Trump administration inked a $1.6 billion deal for a U.S. company to mine tungsten in Kazakhstan. The company is linked to Trump’s sons & Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s sons, who will be personally enriched by their fathers’ policy decisions. The corruption is breathtaking.

Please read & repost for wider reach. Alisa is a fantastic investigative journalist to follow. The 2027 National Defense Authorization Act has a provision called the United States-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative buried in it. This. Must. Not. Pass. OMFG! This is so bad!

Extremely fucked up times we’re living through, folks.

An honorable presidential family that clearly adores each other. The dignity and class of the Obama legacy in one beautiful photo.
I'm sick of listening to people sanewashing his enormous wealth, built on the backs of people struggling to survive. F#ck him. #USDemocracy
Systems like Palantir don't just watch us; they convert our freedom into spreadsheets. Every choice, movement, & connection is harvested as human capital, & sold back to states & plutocrats as “insight.” The result is politics where people aren't citizens to listen to, but human capital for profit.
What is Palantir? And why is this corporation so dangerous?

His face gives off demon vibes! The orange goop slathered mask is melting away Waiting for the horns to poke out of that wispy haired comb over & a tail to break through the diaper Evil to the core of his heartless decaying body We need more journalists like Kristen Welker to challenge his lies
When a journalist finally pushes back on your lies to your face
A disgusting, disgraceful, evil tyrant. Misogynistic rotting yam with his hatred on full display when he is challenged. We need more like her to stand up to his lies and abuse of power.
WOW - Trump crashes out & cuts his interview w/ Welker short as she presses him on his lack of evidence for claiming elections are rigged "You're either crooked or you're stupid. I've had enough. Thank you darling," he tells her" "I traveled all the way to Wisconsin for this interview," she pleads
Every damn day, the rotting yam’s puppet masters have this clownish corpse introduce new ridiculous plans, outrageous policies, & nonsensical hiring/firing to distract us from the truly disastrous harm being done to our country & the world.
📌REPEATING: If Trump hadn't unilaterally withdrawn from the Iran nuclear agreement crafted by Obama it would NOT have a stockpile of highly enriched uranium today. Iran was IN FULL COMPLIANCE with the agreement. This mess was created ENTIRELY by Trump. This isn’t reported near enough.
Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.
Big money firms take obscene profits & don’t care whose lives are ruined by their greed. @warren.senate.gov lays out the demise of companies that get pulled into PE ownership. Billions for them, pennies for workers & a further push for consumers to enrich Bezos & other oligarchs. #saveoursouls

How private equity gutted local malls: Joann Fabrics, Red Lobster, Claire's, and more.

He’s made it a complete embarrassment to be an American. Shameful! Now his corrupt DOJ is giving him & his grifting family permanent IRS cover. He’s a dangerously corrupt & evil abuser of power. The rotting yam & his evil regime are stealing our money, reputation & our future. #SaveOurSouls
Donald Trump is the most corrupt president in American history. It’s not close. No other president has used the office to enrich himself, his family, and his allies on this scale.
Another thing to screw up the planet. These greedy asshats don’t care about water or air quality. Who cares if we breathe in toxins & drink contaminated water, not the Rotting Yam ruining everything in sight. What bad could possibly happen? At what human cost Lee? Greed instead of a conscience 🤬
The EPA moved to roll back limits requiring coal-fired power plants to prevent toxic heavy metals from leaching into streams and rivers through contaminated groundwater. Administrator Lee Zeldin’s agency said the rule is unduly costly for the energy industry.
She’s right. They are harvesting data to build complex profiles. Algorithms identify opportunities to manipulate people as consumers & influence political views. They want us ignorant as they take our money to grow their riches. These tech broligarchs are consolidating wealth at an alarming rate

They're not data centers. They're Spy Centers. They enable greasy fuckwit billionaires to spy on you constantly. The goal is to con you out of everything you need: money, freedom, joy, democracy, priv...

With GOP claims of not knowing the racial makeup of communities: a handy little site to get educated on any geographical location in the country. Wonder how close proposed voting districts align to racial demographics 🤔 www.arcgis.com/apps/mapview...

Yet here we are. Next is the Bezos backed reboot to get the base back in the reality show dystopian universe to prop up Coke Jr. for 2028. Gotta keep a puppet in office to keep the greedy broligarchs greeding. They need a liar in chief to keep eliminating barriers to their wealth accumulation!
You wouldn’t marry someone who lied to you like this. You wouldn’t be friends with someone who lied to you like this. You wouldn’t do business with someone who lied to you like this. You wouldn’t work for someone who lied to u like this. You’d want nothing to do with someone who lied to u like this.
What a great segment by John Oliver @lastweektonight.com Eye opening look at AI bots & the truly evil things developers like Ole Zuck allow for that almighty💰 Greedy soulless asshats with no real guardrails. Wonder what flattering & gifting millions to the rotting yam buys them at our cost 🤔🤬

🚨🚨This🚨🚨 👇🏻👇🏻 The algorithm rabbit hole is a maze of misinformation & AI propaganda led by these asshats. Reminder ole Zuck created Facemesh before Meta was a thing. He’s always been an asshat. I’m sure ALL the others have their “Rise to Power” stories. Where to even start with Muskrat?🤮
Oligarchs have always been a threat, but tech oligarchs represent a new level of danger. Their wealth dwarfs historical tycoons and their control over algorithms allows them to curate human reality. They own the digital infrastructure of thought
Corporations passed down the costs to consumers - they paid zero. Now the US Govt will give OUR refunds to the corporations and corporations will continue to charge consumers as if the tariffs were still in effect. Fascism alway merges Govt and corporate power.
The richest man owns X. The second and fourth richest men control Google. The third richest man owns The Washington Post. The fifth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?
I don’t post often, but when I do it’s about reminding me and us that there are paths to enriching our thinking that deflate the current narrative of the global defeat of democracy. Hold hands, TEACH YOUR CHILDREN this can be stopped, by holding your immediate government representatives to account.
When @MarshaBlackburn talks about Trump cutting taxes, this is what she counts on us all being too dumb to understand
