Two JP Morgan traders were sentenced to prison after engaging in a massive scheme to manipulate the precious metals market for 8 years across tens of thousands of trades. We should be plastering their faces all over the news. This is what a thug really looks like.
Tennessee House subcommittee members had state troopers physically remove gun safety activists who quietly held signs from a hearing.
We bow down to this woman who - visibly shaking - said: “You will have to drag me out.”
Moms will win.
Failing to address the antisemitic and Holocaust denial comments that appear under our posts commemorating the victims of Auschwitz would be a disservice to their memory.
We've chosen to block users who promote denial and hatred. This decision stems from our deep dedication to our mission. We need a secure space to do this.
Engaging in discussions with people and accounts that seek to abuse the memory of victims of Auschwitz is against the values we believe in. These individuals do not seek discourse; they aim to inflict pain. In this context, blocking is a necessary step to ensure that these harmful voices don't persist in their repetitive attacks on memory.
In today's digital age, social media platforms shoulder significant moral responsibility. They should actively counter hate speech and halt its normalization.
A platform that disregards the need to defend the memory of the victims demonstrates a disregard for creating a respectful and empathetic online environment.
Blocking users isn't a mere action; it's a practical measure. Often, reporting accounts that spread hostility remains an unanswered call. Blocking provides a way to protect the memory of people who suffered and were murdered in Auschwitz.
Funny how if you win the lottery you owe taxes immediately but if you own a social media platform or create a retail monopoly or inherit billions of dollars, you can get away with paying $0 in taxes.
Broken system.

SCOTUS & GOP: You must pay all of your debt not matter the circumstances.
What about Trump and his 6x bankruptcies?
GOP & SCOTUS: except him.
What about PPP loans?
SCOTUS & GOP: those are excepted as well. Tom Brady NEEDS that boat.
$760 billion in PPP loans were forgiven.
That’s $360 billion more than this Administration’s student debt relief program.
And, several Republican members of Congress who opposed student debt relief benefited from those PPP loans.
Remember in November these Republican members of Congress had their PPP loans forgiven, but were against student loan relief.
The estimated net worth of each member is shown below.
Ever notice how forgiving loans is suddenly a big problem when students get much-needed relief, but nobody blinks an eye when the richest 20% of American households get their PPP loans forgiven? Or when corporations are handed billions in subsidies?
To Ralph Norman, the Congressman of the great state of South Carolina,
You say it is “obnoxious” for taxpayers to be responsible for the loans of others.
Well sir, we did a little digging and it turns out you had $306,520 in PPP loans forgiven.
Every penny of that was money that came from taxpayers and it wasn’t paid back.
Here’s the big question: why is it ok for YOU, but not
students trying to make their lives better?
I think we know the reason.
First, it’s because you represent the same SELFISH thinking of your entire party: “It’s good for me but not for thee.”
And lastly, it’s because you’re an asshole.
People of Praise will now influence a Supreme Court ruling on Roe v Wade because Amy Coney Barrett believes women should do as they're told.
She has no business being a Justice, let alone ruling on such impactful legal precedent for non-religious women in America.
Republicans introduced the Leaker Accountability Act today, making Supreme Court leaks punishable by up to 5 years in prison.
Meanwhile, Americans are waiting on Congress to pass meaningful legislation curbing gun violence and mass shootings.
The people aren’t the priority.
When I went to the Air Force Academy, this un-showered white boy in my squadron with a colonel daddy told me that I took a white person’s spot, that I got in on Black-person charity…while we both knew damn well where his letter of rec came from (Daddyyyyy) #AffirmativeAction
