Puerto Rico:

- Owned by USA since 1898.
- 3,2 m people
- No representation in Congress. No voting rights for USA president.
- Referred to by supporters of the USA president as a floating island of garbage.
- Scorned for speaking own language.

Greenland does not want this.

If Trump hadn’t raided Venezuela, tonight our media would be talking about Jan. 6, the rising cost of healthcare premiums, the Epstein files, the affordability crisis and Trump‘s tariffs exacerbating it, Trump’s falling approval, and the MAGA civil war. If you’re asking why he did it, there’s your answer!

Statement from the Premier of Greenland 🇬🇱
6:55pm local time:

“🇬🇱 We have been a close and loyal friend of the United States for generations. We have stood shoulder to shoulder in difficult times. We have taken responsibility for security in the North Atlantic — and not least for North America. That is what true friends do.

Precisely for that reason, the current and repeated rhetoric coming from the United States is entirely unacceptable.

When the President of the United States speaks of “needing Greenland” and links us to Venezuela and military intervention, it is not only wrong. It is disrespectful.

Our country is not an object in great-power rhetoric. We are a people. A country. A democracy. That must be respected — especially by close and loyal friends.

We are part of NATO, and we are fully aware of our country’s strategic location. We also understand that our security depends on good friends and strong alliances. In that context, a respectful and loyal relationship with the United States is very important. That has been the case for decades.

But alliances are built on trust. And trust requires respect.

Threats, pressure, and talk of annexation have no place between friends. That is not how one speaks to a people who have repeatedly demonstrated responsibility, stability, and loyalty.

Enough is enough.

No more pressure.
No more insinuations.
No more fantasies of annexation.

We are open to dialogue. We are open to conversations. But they must take place through the proper channels and in full respect of international law. And the proper channels are not random and disrespectful posts on social media.

Greenland is our home and our territory.
And it will remain so. 🇬🇱”

Trump’s billionaire allies now control X, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, TikTok, Truth and Twitch.

They own Fox News, CBS, WaPo, WSJ and NY Post — plus 185+ local tv stations and news in 100 markets.

They control the AI you're asking for answers, the algorithms feeding you content, your personal data you've given up for access, and the devices you rely on.

The news and your privacy are now what Trump and his billionaire pals say it is.

This is all by design.

America has 925 billionaires as of this year. Collectively they have a record $6.9 trillion in wealth.

The bottom 50% of Americans control $4.2 trillion in wealth.

When 925 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Question of the Day...

[maumau @MaurilioBOS]

Quando o então secretário Alvim fez um discurso claramente inspirado na estética nazista — inclusive na fala — a direita disse que não tinha nada ali, que era loucura.

Agora que uma propaganda de chinelo diz para começar o ano com os dois pés, estão vendo propaganda comunista.

“Se eu for presidente vou resgatar o Brasil da corrupção, da censura e da perseguição". (Bolsonaro, Flávio) - Ele foi:
- denunciado por um desvio de 6 mi
- censurou no TJDF minha reportagem com Thiago Herdy sobre os imóveis do clã Bolsonaro
- Incontáveis ataques a imprensa

Some Americans are going to lose their shit over this.

After 13 years in Europe, he realized the US model he was taught to idolize is far less free in practice: daily gun fear, unaffordable healthcare, car-dependent cities, weak worker rights, high costs, and political dysfunction. Europe gave him walkable neighborhoods, safe streets, universal healthcare, stronger consumer protections, better food standards, real worker rights, and a government that can actually pass laws. The quality of life shift was so dramatic he no longer sees the US as the benchmark, just a place where people accept hardship as “freedom.”

Do jeito que a coisa vai, se um bolsonarista ou um chefão do centrão matar alguém amanhã, homicídio vai deixar de ser crime no Brasil.

Asking tourists to volunteer 5 years of their social media history, and granting them entrance based on whether right-wing bureaucrats personally agree with their personal posts is what authoritarian regimes do.

This will decimate U.S. tourism.

Como se chama quando abordam um navio em alto mar e roubam a carga? Quando acontece na Somália eu sei que é pirataria. E na Costa da Venezuela?

Once upon a time in a village, a man appeared and announced to the villagers that he would buy monkeys for $10 each.

The villagers, seeing that there were many monkeys around, went out to the forest and started catching them.

The man bought thousands at $10 and as supply started to diminish, the villagers stopped their effort. He further announced that he would now buy at $20. This renewed the efforts of the villagers and they started catching monkeys again.

Soon the supply diminished even further and people started going back to their farms. The offer increased to $25 each and the supply of monkeys became so little that it was an effort to even see a monkey, let alone catch one.

The man now announced that he would buy monkeys at $50! However, since he had to go to the city on some business, his assistant would now buy on his behalf.

In the absence of the man, the assistant told the villagers, “Look at all these monkeys in the big cage that the man has collected. I will sell them to you at $35 and when the man returns from the city, you can sell them to him for $50 each."

The villagers rounded up with all their savings and bought all the monkeys.

They never saw the man nor his assistant, only monkeys everywhere.

Now you have a better understanding of how the cryptocurrency market works.

@LeviKaique Putz, cuidado pra não distorcer a notícia e ser acusado de fake news: os mais de 100 milhões foram pagos de forma obscura para diversas PJs comandadas pela mulher que produziu o filme, mas o filme em si não recebeu aporte direto.

🚨 A Câmara acaba de ARQUIVAR o processo de cassação de Carla Zambelli.

Zambelli é condenada a 10 anos de prisão, não comparece à Câmara desde maio e está na Itália desde 5 de junho, onde é foragida e PRESIDIÁRIA.

Mas ela segue com um "mandato" que custa 132 MIL REAIS POR MÊS de DINHEIRO PÚBLICO.

É esse o retrato desse Congresso que se comporta como inimigo do povo: Carla Zambelli, presa em outro país HÁ MESES e condenada no Brasil em todas as instâncias a 10 anos de prisão, seguirá tendo um mandato fictício.

Glauber Braga, por não se calar, foi suspenso por 6 meses.

It’s been 10 years since I took a million dollar pay cut to pay all staff at Gravity Payments a $70,000 minimum wage. People have wondered: How did it go?

We conducted a comprehensive study of everything that has happened since our 2015 announcement.

We are proof that paying living wages is good for both employees and businesses.

Since raising wages, our revenue and profits have soared, employees have started families while continuing to provide excellent customer service, and clients have become happier and stayed longer.

It worked so well that we raised the minimum to $80,000 and added an employee profit-sharing program.

Yet outside our company, it made no impact: no businesses followed suit, and the pay gap between workers and CEOs remains massive.

[ERIKA HILTON @ErikakHilton]

Não é escassez de mão de obra, né, Folha? Todo mundo sabe disso.

É escassez de SENSO dos empregadores.

Todo dezembro é a mesma história: as empresas oferecem escala 6x1 ou até 7x0, sem nenhuma segurança trabalhista, sem horários definidos e com MUITO desaforo pros temporários.

Quem já trabalhou como estoquista, caixa, vendedor, auxiliar de cozinha ou atendimento nessa época sabe do que eu tô falando.

Isso sem contar a promessa vazia de uma vaga fixa, as comissões que nunca chegam, as folgas desrespeitadas e o assédio moral pra bater as metas inalcançáveis.

E, dependendo do setor, ainda há a triste possibilidade do trabalhador ser incentivado ao abuso de substâncias pra conseguir acompanhar o ritmo.

O trabalhador brasileiro cansou disso e, somado ao pleno emprego que estamos vivendo, não está mais aceitando essas vagas.

Tem solução? Tem!

A curtíssimo prazo, propostas melhores, nas quais o trabalhador ganha mais, tem direito à vida além do trabalho e os empregadores são mais francos em relação às funções que serão exercidas e como será o dia a dia na empresa.

A médio prazo? A aprovação do fim da escala 6x1, implementando uma jornada de, NO MÁXIMO, 40 horas de trabalho semanais e, NO MÍNIMO, 2 dias de descanso por semana.

Mulheres saíram às ruas em vários cantos desse país pedindo por suas vidas.

Hugo Motta não colocou um projeto em pauta com urgência para financiar proteção às mulheres. O que ele elencou como urgente:

1. Reduzir as penas dos golpistas do 8 de janeiro
2. Dar um jeitinho de preservar os direitos políticos do Eduardo Bolsonaro com uma ação administrativa.
3. Cassar Glauber Braga e lhe tirar direitos políticos por 8 anos
4. Mandar a polícia legislativa impedir o trabalho da imprensa como não víamos desde a ditadura.
