I believe that there must be rules of the road for platform owners that protect the interests of democracy and free speech. It’s time to regulate social media like we regulate utilities, because social media platforms are now part of critical infrastructure. Plain and simple.

Why SNL chose Shane Gillis to host is a mystery to most human people who think men who disparage and objectify women are the problem… Lorne Michaels is mentioned in the Epstein files at least 40 times.

Almost more than Trump dangerous proclamations, I am sick to my soul of seeing the sub-humans standing behind him and cheering.

You know, if you *really* cared about the wellbeing of women in college, instead of carping about the statistically insignificant number of trans athletes in sports minding their own business, you’d be railing against these Cornell fraternity cretins who drugged and gang-raped a passed-out women:

This is what people voted for. Then they complain endlessly . . . and vote for it again. Geez people, look at what is actually happening, not what you're being told, and recalibrate.

The richest man owns X. The second and fourth richest men control Google. The third richest man owns The Washington Post. The sixth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the seventh richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

We’re 500 days into Trump’s presidency and everything is still Joe Biden’s fault. At this point, this administration is admitting they’re not capable of changing anything.

Effective tax rate paid by Jeff Bezos from 2014 to 2018: 0.98% Effective 2025 federal tax rate paid by Amazon: 1.4% Typical tax rate paid by the average American: 14.5% Just thought I should point that out.

NEW: Study finds attending a Major League ball game costs an average $225 — thanks to higher ticket and concession prices. Every MLB team owner is in the richest 0.1% and will receive an average $286,000 in tax breaks this year. Giving the rich more money helps no one but them.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market. Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. The evidence of corporate consolidation is everywhere. It means more power for them and less freedom for you.
