The richest man owns X. The second richest man owns The Washington Post. The third and fifth richest men control Google. The sixth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And the eighth richest man now owns both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

Crush the arts (Kennedy Center), destroy the civil service (DOGE), control elections (gestures broadly), dismantle the press (gestures more broadly), decimate science (NIH), and demolish education (DeptEd). The authoritarian playbook.

The FCC will allow the sovereign wealth funds of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, & Abu Dhabi to own nearly 50% of a merged Paramount-Warner Bros — potentially giving them sway over our media. This of course comes after Trump received gifts or struck business deals with these countries. See the problem?

White Christian supremacist court. White Christian supremacist President. White Christian supremacist Congress. And the result is the most profound series of setbacks for the rights of people of color and women in over a century. It is a nauseating time to be alive in America. Fight back harder.

Glad to see the Australian government on board. Massive milestone today with Bowen acknowledging EV growth is already offsetting the oil crisis. Increasing reserves while demand falls makes no sense. Now for a solar carport mandate! Charge baby charge. ☀️⚡ #Bettrification #EVs

Pretty fascinating that the only two Inspectors General that Trump didn't fire are the guy who covered up the deletion of secret service text messages on January 6th (Joseph Cuffari) and the guy who investigated the death of Jeffrey Epstein (Michael Horowitz).

Ossoff: "The American people need to know that the president is fundraising for his political campaign and his PAC using images of American service members killed in action, and it's a disgrace"

The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled. A truly extraordinary moment. We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. Act like it.

Comer chased down a speeding car. It ran him over. Soulless, gutless morons. The entire GOP.

Here is Hillary Clinton’s opening statement to House Oversight on Epstein. Clinton says she does not recall ever encountering Epstein and says she knew nothing about his crimes. She also says that Trump should testify under oath and criticizes the committee for not holding any public hearings.

Trump’s Department of Education has moved to strip nurses of our professional status and make school more expensive — but there's still time to push back. From now until March 2, we need you to raise your voice and submit a public comment in opposition: www.federalregister.gov/documents/20...

1. It was not an accident. 2. It was not a staffer. 3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia. 4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares. 5. His base agrees with him. 6. He will do it again. 7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him. “When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

Amazon is actually spending $75 million all in to license and promote this movie.

Drew Harwell@drewharwell.com

You can reserve tickets now to "Melania: Twenty Days to History," only on Amazon Prime. Thanks to $40 million from Amazon, you can "step inside Melania Trump's world as she orchestrates inauguration plans" and watch exclusive footage of "never-before-seen environments" www.amazon.com/salp/melania...

Here's an update from the post I shared a few days back. The 21 year old youngster who protesting peacefully & holding a speaker and was shot in the face by #ICE point blank has been permanently blinded in 1 eye! Please share this story widely!

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

I'd love news organizations to get a comment from all the corporations, such as SPOTIFY, that continue running ICE ads on their platforms. Do they support ICE murdering US citizens? They still support ICE? Let American consumers know!

ICE detain U.S. citizen for looking Somali—use illegal chokehold to tackle him to ground. Man repeatedly begs agents to look at his digital passport ID—they refuse. Drove him 7 miles away before releasing him alone into Minnesota snow storm—told him to "walk home" in freezing weather advisory.
