Amazon prevents us from calling 911 when someone is having a medical emergency so that the company’s internal first-aid department “AmCare” can cover it up and it’s costing workers their lives.

Oracle is set to layoff 30,000 workers. Last year they had $64B in revenue, and had $16,188,000,000 in net income. They've had increasing record profits year over year. They could afford to keep half that income and give every single one of the 30k they're firing a $269,000 raise
Some facts before the State of the Union:
🔸1.2 million Americans were laid off last year. The unemployment rate increased from 4% to 4.4%. Over 160,000 blue-collar jobs were lost.
🔸Only 181,000 jobs were created for the whole year, compared to over 120,000 jobs created every month in 2024.
🔸Tariffs did nothing to the trade deficit, didn’t make us rich, and didn’t spur manufacturing. 108,000 manufacturing jobs were lost.
🔸Despite the claim of big tax cuts, the average tax refund only increased by $225, but the average household paid $1,000 in tariffs. The middle and working classes are subsidizing tax cuts for corporations and billionaires.
🔸Billionaires increased their wealth by $1.5 trillion. The top 1% now hold more wealth than the entire middle class combined.
🔸Lowest earners saw their real wages decrease, meaning they could afford less than the year before. The middle class struggled to stay afloat as the personal savings rate dropped, 1/3rd of Americans said they had less emergency savings than the year before, credit card debt soared to a record high of over $1.2 trillion, and buy now, pay later loans were increasingly used to buy groceries.
🔸GDP growth shrank from 2.8% in 2024 to 2.2%. The national debt increased by $2.2 trillion. The ICE budget increased $75 billion last year, and the defense budget increased by $150 billion this year, while healthcare and food assistance were cut. Trump has requested a $500 billion increase to the military budget for next year.
🔸Canada and Mexico are negotiating trade deals with China rather than the US, and Europe is increasingly distancing itself from US interests.
🔸Trump has enriched himself by $4 billion while in the White House through bribes and crypto grifts.
🔸And if you voted for Trump because he was going to be the crypto president, crypto is in freefall, with bitcoin down 40% since Trump took office.
The real state of the union is that everything is more expensive, we’re on the verge of another war, and our government is deliberately ignoring the constitutional rights of the people while covering up a global sex trafficking ring. That’s it. That’s all you need to know.
Ro Khanna: “They haven’t indicted a single person.”
“Why?”
“Because these people were all at Davos together.”
“They were funding the same politicians.”
“People need to wake up.”
“It’s all the same club.”
“It’s the Epstein class.”
“You got Donald Trump saying Bill Clinton shouldn’t testify, because he doesn’t wanna testify.”
“It’s people who have power in this country and people who don’t.”
“That’s the two Americas we have.”
“That’s not what our Founders wanted.”
“That’s not why you wore the uniform.”
“That’s not why kids died in Afghanistan or Iraq.”
“We got to get our country back, and it starts with elite accountability.”

The little smile after "For what," relishing the opportunity to seem cold-blooded, and from someone who pretends to be a pious Catholic toward a man whose death was mourned by the Catholic Church. Vance is an awkward dork who just decided to don the mask of the King of the Online Right. Before that, he was Thoughtful Christian Populist. Before that, he was a "Trump is literally Hitler" guy. What Vance really is at heart is a hollow shell of a man who defends the murderers of American citizens more vigorously than he has ever defended his own family from the bigots he's trying to court for 2028. There has never been such a pathetic figure in public life.
