Freaking out about the election? Or avoiding the election knowing you’ll freak out Nov 5?

Want to donate to something other than the time bomb money pit of candidate campaigns?

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.

PBS is still alive.

It may be down, but it’s not out.

To keep it from ever being out, donate to your local station if you can.

You’ll be able to do so here: https://t.co/mc8xmn478L.

This is evidence of a systemic problem but a lot of you aren’t ready for systemic solutions

One of the most heartbreaking things I read so far this year is the statement from the children of Mark and Melissa Hortman begging the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES to stop spreading lies about the brutal murder of their parents.

To be clear, those banks took over $3 billion from people who had no money.

A reminder - before Trump, MAGA, Musk and Fox rewrote history - that this is what the entire country agreed had happened five years ago today:

One of the vaccines being DROPPED from the CDC schedule is for meningitis

MENINGITIS

One of THE most horrific, deadly infections you wouid ever have the misfortune to see

It can -and does - kill kids within hours

Dropped

To satisfy anti vaccine fantasies.

Sick.

On Friday night, we walked the length of Manhattan, from Inwood Hill to Battery Park.

New Yorkers deserve a Mayor they can see, hear, even yell at. The city is in the streets.

@muddaub Ahh see the secret to eliminating poverty is just by making the cutoff more and more absurdly low.

All these numbers should be 30% higher than they are. Minimum. Probably more.

Trust me. It’s weird.
