MacKenzie Scott (Bezos) does not get enough attention for the impact she's having on the state of the world.
Her primary causes are Equity™, sewing racial division and supporting illegal immigration.
Her method is “trust-based philanthropy" - giving $16 billion in no strings attached grants to over 2,500 NGOs and nonprofits.
Her primary impact is feeding the NGO / non-profit complex - a jobs program for entitled liberals who think their overpriced degrees are worth framing.
And they embrace fanatical ideologies to assuage their guilt, make themselves feel superior & charitable, and mask their hypocrisy.
MacKenzie Scott gives millions of dollars to groups with with stated missions like "Empowering Latinx immigrants," "Deportation Defense," and "Justice and equality for LGBTQ immigrants."
She received 19.7 million shares of $AMZN in her divorce ($38.3 billion) and has already given away $16 billion in the last 5 years. But, she's still worth $36 billion thanks to the rise in Amazon's stock price.
So, she's just getting started...

My thoughts precisely; didn't @elonmusk give over $100 millions to a #realDonaldTrump super PAC? And, what kind of 'sewing machine' is she using to distribute the money to her causes?
I don’t really get the framing. Do you and this gentleman support multibillionaires funding their pet causes or not? Or only bad when they support things you don’t like.
And again, rich people donating to organizations is not new. I gave you several examples in the previous tweet of right wing benefactors so we could go tit for tat all day.
But understanding the scale, unique power (being a part of the administration on top of funding it) is paramount. The philosophy behind this type of consolidated techno-autocracy that eschews democratic hegemony is being put out there openly by Curtis Yarvin and Peter Thiel.
It’s not even that nuanced to draw distinctions between these individuals impact.
@acoyne A very sad day; both for the people of the Occupied territories and for Israel. There should never be celebration over the deaths of other humans. Nationalism is a scourge.
@BlackRowanWood@fuckyouiquit 50% is a bit generous. If they want to "stand on principle', so be it. As long as all of their office and research staff are paid, let them go. But I really like the part about locking them in chambers.
@fuckyouiquit A birthday party (or even an official "happy birthday" statement) is a grievous breach of confidentiality. Without permission, no one has the right to know when your 'birthday' (birth anniversary) occurs. It has no place at work
@LeslieBall29@Bell_Aliant Worst service ever, cancelled years ago; then they called back wondering what they could do to get me back? I laughed out loud...
200 students walked out of class at an Alabama high school after they were reportedly told their student-led Black History Month program could not reference slavery or the civil rights movement "because one of our administrators felt uncomfortable"
