Instead of discussing how Elon Musk is now the world's first trillionaire, we should talk about how he killed hundreds of thousands of people through his dismantling of food and medical aid to poor countries

Look at this graph.

The top 0.1 percent's wealth has never grown as fast in U.S. history as it has in the past 15 years.

And that's before Elon Musk became the world's first TRILLIONAIRE.

Peri/menopause isn’t a “new trend.” It’s what happens when an ENTIRE generation of women hits a life transition we were never properly studied for, educated about, or prepared for. GenX and Xennials weren’t “caught off guard” because we’re dramatic…we were kept in the dark. I see you. XO, Dr. Jen

[DeeDee - ADHD Helper @DopaminePlsMe]

ADHD is not just “I can’t focus.” It’s getting angry at yourself for not doing the thing, anxious because it’s still not done, and ashamed because “normal people would’ve done it by now.”

The task takes 10 minutes. The shame takes all day.

American workers just took home their smallest share of the nation's wealth since 1947 — even as corporate profits soar.

Why? This chart has the answer.

Private equity landlords now own 1 in 8 apartments in the U.S.

Their unfettered greed is making the housing crisis worse than ever — but there's a way for renters to organize and fight back.

No child deaths have been definitively linked to Covid vaccines, according to a report from the FDA that was quietly made public. https://t.co/N99uOgFTQ9

“The greatest heist in 🇺🇸 history… a direct transfer of billions of your taxpayer dollars directly into the bank account of Trump, dressed up as a ‘settlement’ of a lawsuit in which he is the plaintiff and also the defendant… could nearly triple his net worth…”

[Rep. Mike Levin @RepMikeLevin]

Let me get this straight. Trump sued his own IRS for $10 billion. His own Justice Department is now considering settling that case. And one of the terms on the table is that the IRS drops all audits of Trump, his family, and his businesses PERMANENTLY.

He’s using the full weight of the federal government to protect himself and his family from accountability and potentially pay himself BILLIONS of your tax dollars.

JD Vance announced the suspension of $1.3 billion in Medicaid payments to California as part of his new role as "fraud czar" for the Trump Regime.

Meanwhile, Trump has pardoned multiple convicted fraudsters, including several who gave money to his campaign and Super PAC.

Remember this.

Shark Tank Billionaire Kevin O'leary says 2 people fighting data centers in Utah are Chinese agents. Turns out its just 2 local girls in Utah, they make a hilarious video calling him the fuck out

ADHD is one of the most painful things to live with. Not just because it's loud, because it's contradictory. You're capable of anything and motivated to do almost nothing. You understand everyone around you, but can't explain what's happening inside yourself. You have brilliant ideas, but no patience to finish a single one. You're a genius who can't handle an email, an extrovert who needs to be completely alone, a person full of advice who can't follow any of it. And the worst part? You know.

The documentary that the BBC refused to air - Gaza: Doctors Under Attack - won a Bafta last night.

The documentary shows the targeting, detainment and torture of medics in Gaza by Israeli authorities. The decimation of Gaza’s healthcare system including the detention of healthcare workers is central to Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza.

Amnesty awarded Gaza: Doctors Under Attack at the Amnesty Media Awards last week. The work of everyone involved in making this documentary and fighting for it to be broadcast shows the importance of journalists willing to speak truth to power.

Leonardo da Vinci’s self-supporting bridge, designed between 1485 and 1487, is a structural masterpiece that requires no nails, ropes, or glue. It relies entirely on friction, gravity, and geometry to maintain its integrity.

[Graham Platner for Senate @grahamformaine]

We are the richest society in human history.

We can have universal health care.
We can have universal child care.
We can have universal public higher ed.

We can have a tax code that pulls back all the wealth that was stolen from the working class over the past 50 years.

The Pentagon is denying a report by The Financial Times that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s stockbroker was seeking to make large investments in major defense companies in the days before the U.S. and Israel struck Iran.

That report is raising more concerns about the people in and around the Trump administration who seem to be profiting in unusual ways.

The vast data centers that power artificial intelligence guzzle huge amounts of energy but they also have another alarming impact, according to new research. They are creating “heat islands,” warming the land around them by up to 16 degrees Fahrenheit, and making life hotter for more than 340 million people. https://t.co/BwiDK2wSeo
