If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

Democracy dies in oligarchy.

To my fellow American women, the Republican government is LITERALLY coming for your vote…

@mcneilfarms @THernandox @ShereeWokeAF Just one? There's more, but ok, I'll state the latest. In Feb 2025, this admin closed the federal bureau of consumer protections & made them drop all their open cases against businesses performing greedy, bad practices that affect consumers..

I don’t want to connect my coffee machine to the wifi network. I don’t want to share the file with OneDrive. I don’t want to download an app to check my car’s fluid levels. I don’t want to scan a QR code to view the restaurant menu. I don’t want to let Google know my location before showing me the search results. I don’t want to include a Teams link on the calendar invite. I don’t want to pay 50 different monthly subscription fees for all my software. I don’t want to upgrade to TurboTax platinum plus audit protection. I don’t want to install the Webex plugin to join the meeting. I don’t want to share my car’s braking data with the actuaries at State Farm. I don’t want to text with your AI chatbot. I don’t want to download the Instagram app to look at your picture. I don’t want to type in my email address to view the content on your company’s website. I don’t want text messages with promo codes. I don’t want to leave your company a five-star Google review in exchange for the chance to win a $20 Starbucks gift card. I don’t want to join your exclusive community in the metaverse. I don’t want AI to help me write my comments on LinkedIn. I don’t even want to be on LinkedIn in the first place.

I just want to pay for a product one time (and only one time), know that it’s going to work flawlessly, press 0 to speak to an operator if I need help, and otherwise be left alone and treated with some small measure of human dignity, if that’s not too much to ask anymore.

@Playsquitar @Farming_gal16v2 @CoryBooker Yep, cutting the fat on that defense budget and eliminating all the f'n billion $$ subsidies the U.S. govt pays annually to billionaires & record profit making companies -they should have been the first go to

@ErikMCarson @StephenFultz @mcuban &, as Vance said, the deportations will cost $88 Billion a year, for however long

BREAKING: Jack Smith just dropped the report Trump didn’t want you to read.

From scheming to overturn the 2020 election to stashing classified documents at Mar-a-Lago like a wannabe Bond villain, this investigation pulls no punches.

Smith dismantles Trump’s “witch hunt” cries with cold, hard facts and serves up a reality check: justice doesn’t bend to power, politics, or the cult of personality.

Dive into the report that proves no one—not even Trump—is above the law. 🧵

“Well done, my good and faithful servant”… are the first words that came to my mind when hearing of the passing of President Carter. He & his bride committed their lives to service in the most selfless way.

Let us all honor his legacy by doing our part to serve our country & our community.

Holy crap!

Not only did Google announce a quantum chip that can solve a problem in 5 minutes that it would take a supercomputer 10 septillion years to solve, but they also essentially say we are living in a multiverse!

“Willow’s performance on this benchmark is astonishing: It performed a computation in under five minutes that would take one of today’s fastest supercomputers 1025 or 10 septillion years. If you want to write it out, it’s 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 years. This mind-boggling number exceeds known timescales in physics and vastly exceeds the age of the universe. It lends credence to the notion that quantum computation occurs in many parallel universes, in line with the idea that we live in a multiverse, a prediction first made by David Deutsch.”

@ThaReelSpeekah @thespunkyskunk @Johnrao2122 @TristanSnell Where are they w/o staff? All it takes is more billionaires; like Cuban, Buffet & Price etc..to talk more about their standard of taking care of their employees & it being how they retain incredible talent. How do we convince ppl being used is bad?

[Storms @Stormi_Gayle]

@ThaReelSpeekah @thespunkyskunk @Johnrao2122 @TristanSnell So give up middle class comforts for king dreams? Not me. We can't all be Musk, but we can all be comfortable, but not if a monopoly is made. Get it?

[Storms @Stormi_Gayle]

@thespunkyskunk @ThaReelSpeekah @Johnrao2122 @TristanSnell Challenges made to birthright citizenship are laughable when we have the Cuban Adjustment Act going strong with no pushback or change for more than 50 years

[Storms @Stormi_Gayle]

@ThaReelSpeekah @thespunkyskunk @Johnrao2122 @TristanSnell Why is it called punishment when we talk about increasing taxes on the uber wealthy? Why is it business as usual to raise taxes or cut the benefits of everyone else? Why should wealthy pay less or nothing? Why should mega corps pay a less tax equivalent than their workers?

[Storms @Stormi_Gayle]

@ThaReelSpeekah @thespunkyskunk @Johnrao2122 @TristanSnell The plan I heard was to raise corporate and wealth taxes on income >$500K to offset the tax credits

[Storms @Stormi_Gayle]

@Johnrao2122 @thespunkyskunk @TristanSnell Ah, you must be in a $500K or greater tax bracket to have the luxury of that opinion. Congratulations.

@Johnrao2122 @thespunkyskunk @TristanSnell Create wealth & opportunity for who though? Could you give more detail on which of Harris' intended policies would have been system controlling? Also, which system that helps run this incredible country could do with less control?

[Storms @Stormi_Gayle]

@ThaReelSpeekah @Johnrao2122 @thespunkyskunk @TristanSnell She was going to restrict corp price gouging too. She also planned to raise Corp & wealth taxes to offset the tax credits given to the People. The uber wealthy didn't like that. Trump plans will further lower both corp & wealth taxes, creating them more wealth.

[Storms @Stormi_Gayle]

@ThaReelSpeekah @Johnrao2122 @thespunkyskunk @TristanSnell What rock were you under? $50K for small business ventures, expanded Medicaid to include in home healthcare, $6K child's tax credit, & opening federal land for affordable housing were just 4 of her intended policies. What are/were Trump's again? Oh yeah, dismantle & deport.

[Storms @Stormi_Gayle]

@leprechicano @t_sadiity Ok, fair enough. By this logic though she's not responsible to answer him as to who did help her. He has zero right to be upset by that either.
