Since Trump was elected:
Mark Zuckerberg got $25 billion richer
Jeff Bezos got $36 billion richer
Larry Ellison got $78 billion richer
Elon Musk got $187 billion richer
Meanwhile, 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, food & housing costs soar and AI is killing jobs.
I’ve said it but I’m going to continue saying it, for documentation sake.
Posts from the President and White House like this are a shame for the office of the presidency — no matter who holds it.
Depicting a sitting president dropping waste on citizens crosses every line of decency, dignity, and respect for the institution.
Critique is part of free speech.
But turning the office itself into a mockery cheapens the country and devalues our collective integrity.
Cannot be emphasized enough how much these guys were foaming at the mouth to fire anyone who made a "stupid joke" about the murder of Charlie Kirk a month ago. This party does not believe in anything.
Good morning and Happy Friday to everyone who agrees that RFK Jr, the head of HHS, should resign in disgrace for not knowing the baby is not "in her placenta," and if trump had any brains, he'd be embarrassed too.
8th grade Biology students know this.
How humiliating.
I live in Chicago… I live a block over from Cicero. ICE visited my home yesterday. ICE didn’t knock. ICE tried to forcefully open my window. ICE opened my screen and asked me to sign papers. I AM an American Citizen. Born on U.S. soil. ICE forcefully tried to enter my home! WAKE UP AMERICA!
So far, the ICE gang has shot & killed an unarmed man & lied about the circumstances; shot a woman 5 times for obstructing their vehicle; roughed up elderly women and zip-tied small children; shot a clergyman in the face with a pepper ball; marched through downtown Chicago, masked and armed.
And they're NOT going after the "worst of the worse," as promised. Most of the people they're snagging have clean records. Some are citizens.
To be clear: this is NOT making Chicago safer. It's state-sponsored mayhem; dangerous political theater calculated to provoke.
Southern states sending troops in to occupy major cities in Northern states with the explicit goal of terrorizing Black and Brown communities and targeting political opposition. Like an evil bizarro timeline where the Confederacy won the war.
NEW: The doctor behind breakthrough Parkinson’s research was among the scientists purged from the National Institutes of Health, the US’s leading medical research agency. https://t.co/hUaJuoYwce
pretending to be victimized by a performance he agreed to doing and then profiting off that “victimization” is actually a perfect encapsulation of the conservative persecution grift industrial complex
Just so we’re clear -
Any party telling you who you can love, what gender you are, which medicine you can take, which books you can read, which history you can learn, what prayers you should say and what you can and cannot do with your own body, doesn’t give a fuck about freedom.
