.@JamesTalarico: The influence of AIPAC in our elections has a chilling effect. And people don't feel like they can speak their minds because they're worried AIPAC is gonna drop hundreds of millions of dollars in their race, usually not even talking about the issue of Israel or issues that Jewish Americans face.

The reason I keep going back to money in politics and corruption is, I do think it's the rot at the core of our broken system. Until you fix that system like Vice President [Kamala Harris] is proposing, until you get big money out of our politics, until you ban Corporate PACs and Super PACs, we're not going to be able to, one, have elected officials who can speak their minds. Two, we're not gonna be able to make progress on all those issues that we care about, whether they're here or abroad.

I think you just follow the money and everything comes back to the influence of these giant PACs on our political process.

Women are being advised to play Disney songs when they notice a man is recording them with Meta glasses without consent because Disney music is more protected than women

Pro-Palestine activists disrupted Amazon vice president and Chief Technology Officer, speech at the UN’s AI for Good Summit, accusing Amazon, Google, and other tech firms of enabling Israel’s military through AI and cloud services

Humanity thrived for years without AI. We can live without it. What we cannot live without is fresh water, farmers, agriculture, and land.

Stop supporting AI. It’s destroying our planet.

A trillionair, yet his name does not appear on a single school, university, library, museum wing, hospital, stadium, arena, airport, or endowed chairs. What a colossal waste of a human lifetime.

.@JamesTalarico: Frankly I am tired of the ‘thoughts and prayers’ rhetoric from our leaders.

There is something profoundly cynical about asking God to solve a problem that we're not willing to solve ourselves.

Scripture reminds us that faith without works is dead. The time for thoughts and prayers is over. It's time for us to act.

So you agree? You think this country has a problem with gun violence.

My TikTok feed is full of American small business owners announcing that they're closing their businesses.

Something they counted on to support their families gone overnight.

It's horrendous. My empathy is with those who didn't vote for Trump. Those who did, this is on you.

“The Economy is doing well”

Let’s talk about who isn’t: Small Business Owners

Talk to some in your community. Independent Mortgage Lenders, Retail Store Owners, Small CRE guys, Restaurant Owners, Contractors

Many are not okay

Big players with larger pools of capital to draw on—they’re okay. Business has been better, but they’re okay

Small businesses, meanwhile, are fighting for their lives in a macro environment where access to credit is choked, adjustable rate debt is adjusting upwards, and consumers are increasingly cutting discretionary spending. Not to mention, the cost of labor is skyrocketing (if you can find it)

I heard from someone this weekend who opened two retail stores in my hometown 10 years ago. These stores are beloved by the community. He is one of the hardest working people I’ve ever known. The stores are struggling since the lockdowns in 2020.

First, his wife went back to work a corporate job a year ago. Now, he is going back to work a corporate job—JUST TO TRY TO KEEP THE SMALL BUSINESS ALIVE

A small business is more than some numbers on a P&L spreadsheet

A small business is someone’s heart ❤️

Small businesses give our communities character. They are someone’s dreams brought to life. They make our world richer and more interesting

If you’re doing well, I encourage you to support a small business in your community. If you’re struggling financially, you can still support a small business owner—via a positive review/referral, or simply checking in on them

Our economy is and should be more than a Taylor Swift Concert, a Barbie Movie, a Few Tech Giants, and Government spending

@OgLakyn Any recommendations?

trump pulled up a child as a prop to talk about how he had brain cancer (trumps admin is cutting cancer research) then followed up by talking about child cancer rates increasing due to chemical exposure (he cut the epa)

This was literally announced today. https://t.co/c5MJtxL0UF

[Nancy Pelosi @SpeakerPelosi]

He’s lying.

The budget plan passed by House Republicans adds $4 trillion to the national debt and increases the deficit.

And it gives tax cuts to billionaires and big corporations — while ripping away health care for millions of Americans by making huge cuts to Medicaid.

[TheTeslaCommunity @elonxxixmusk]

How is it ok for Elon Musk to take over the FAA and then, coincidentally, he gets a $2.4 billion contract that was taken away from Verizon? Why are we so complacent about this blatant corruption?

Heartbroken after seeing a young patient with no medical history, end up with a BIFFL GRADE II dissection of the vertebral artery and subsequent acute PICA infarct immediately after a neck adjustment from the chiropractor. This has to stop.

Chiropractors - you HAVE to stop.

"If Harris wins I'm moving to another country"

Oh so you think people should be able to cross international borders to leave a political situation they don't want to be in? 🤔
