I already schedule my days out with to do lists but got overwhelmed with starting today. So I let myself lay down for a minute to reset then made a micro to do list. Instead of “get ready for photoshoot” I changed to “put on moisturizer” “put on makeup”
It is so sad to see Gavin Newsom be the poster child to ban any new wealth tax on billionaires.
I received this text and it is going to all California voters.
It’s beyond sad. It’s beyond disappointing; at this point, it’s disqualifying for anyone with ambitions for higher office as a Democrat, or a Republican, for that matter, to be fighting to keep billionaires from being taxed while kids don’t have health insurance and the cost of living goes sky-high.
These billionaires are also the ones hellbent on replacing entire workforces with the AI they are developing with our tax dollars (watch the “Musk” doc). We are also living through the largest wealth gap in modern history. At this point, the only way to balance out the economic forces that have bought our politicians and keep rigging the game against working people is through taxes.
Let’s hope Gavin gets some sense and walks this back. It’s crazy that this is what he chooses to spend his political capital, and part of his legacy, doing. He vetoed the bill that would have put a “kill switch” on AI for our protection. He vetoed a bill that would have gotten forever chemicals out of cookware. Time and time again, he goes with corporate interests over the well-being of the people, even after his own bipartisan legislature votes for something.
And here we go again.
Gavin, we aren’t looking for the Democratic version of Trump. That was a good goof. Please try something else. It’s tired.
The people need a champion, man. A real, bona fide champion who isn’t just tough in tweets or press conferences, but tough when it comes to the real imbalances people are struggling with every day: billionaires vs. people and the planet.
Oklahoma is more afraid of Cyndi Munson dancing with a drag queen, but not a data center that Mike Mazzei wants to throw on their farmland 😭💀 Dancing is scarier than a fucking building? Drag queens will NOT be the reason your crops dried up 😐🙃
Researchers uncovered the graves of more than 1,000 children next to juvenile detention facilities in 29 states, and at one Maryland gravesite, 230 Black boys are buried. https://t.co/6WzY71J99c
Everyone searched the Epstein files for "Lutnick". Simon Andriesz searched for "HWL". He knew Cantor Fitzgerald executives signed their emails with initials, because he'd been a managing director at Lutnick's brokerage, BGC Partners, across London, New York and Chicago until the firm sacked him on 31 January 2017. He'd spent 2016 raising accounting complaints inside the company and had a heart attack along the way. Some of what he flagged stuck. In November 2019 the CFTC fined BGC Financial $3 million for losing nearly four months of voice recordings on thousands of block trades and for not telling the regulator about an SEC investigation for more than four years. That action earned him a $420,000 whistleblower award.
On 19 October 2020 he phoned the FBI and asked to be connected to the Epstein case. He told them his old boss had undeclared ties to Epstein. The FBI never opened a case. His call surfaced anyway, as document EFTA00020515, when the Justice Department released more than 3 million pages this January, so he went looking for the rest. The HWL search turned up a 28 May 2018 exchange. Epstein asks: "what do you think the prospects for adfin are?" Lutnick answers: "Producing revenue finally. This is their year." AdFin was an ad-tech start-up both men had signed investment contracts for in December 2012; Epstein put in $875,000. Andriesz handed the chain to House Oversight Democrats before Lutnick's closed-door interview on 6 May, where Lutnick said he'd only learned this year that Epstein was a co-investor. He also found Cantor's 2013 plan to lend £1 million to a company controlled by Prince Andrew in exchange for exclusive introductions. His phrase for it on the BBC's File on 4 in July: "to basically buy a prince."
In written reasons dated 11 August, an employment judge struck out his UK claim against BGC, Lutnick and BGC co-CEO Jean-Pierre Aubin as nearly nine years out of time. BGC calls his allegations "categorically false". The White House called the BBC report "pathetic and desperate". A friend who'd profiled him in August posted on 25 September that he'd taken his own life at a trauma treatment centre. He was 57. BGC's application for its costs against him is listed for 24 November.
Simon has been found dead, reportedly from "suicide." RIP to Simon and to all whistleblowers who have died too young.
The truth about Lutnick will never die
‼️ ALERT ‼️
Oklahoma has now had TWO cases of voter fraud. These do not look like the "illegals" that republicans claim are the ones voting. Republicans love to cheat
It’s still AI.
It’s still Twitter.
It’s still Lake Ontario.
It’s still the Kennedy Center.
It’s still the Gulf of Mexico.
It’s still the Department of Defense.
And Donald Trump is still a rapist and a pedophile.

ICE shatter window with baby in car seat—violently detain both mom & dad.
It was the wrong guy.
Agents even had photo of the suspect—that clearly didn't match.
They took him anyway.
"Look! He is absolutely not the man in that photo!" mom cries.
"I'm not the one!" dad pleads. "I didn’t commit a robbery!"
Agents did handcuff and detain the mother at the scene—but eventually released her to take their child.
The family has a pending asylum case and has no idea why ICE locked up the father and separated the family.
Incident occurred near the intersection of 56th Street and Racine Avenue in Chicago, Illinois.
Mari Elena doesn't have an account on this platform—so posting first full length and credited video here to help raise awareness.
This guy is the CEO of Flock
He takes pictures of you and hands them over to the cops
But, he doesn’t want you to know what he looks like
PLEASE do NOT share his photo!
Sen. Murray: Do you believe an IUD is a form of abortion?
Overton: If confirmed, I'll be briefed on the FDA's decision
Sen. Murray: You didn't answer the question. It is deeply alarming that the prospective FDA commissioner doesn't know that birth control is not an abortion.
