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 wanted legal Marijuana and access to abortions the last time he took something to the voters. Then, he illegally funded campaigns against both and changed the 50% vote threshold.

SAY IT PLAIN: DeSantis is pushing to break Florida’s Constitution with “partisan gerrymandering”. 👀 Hakeem Jeffries: If Ron DeSantis wants a different map, “he should take it to the voters.” #StopIllegalFloridaMaps

The way Virginia and California have gone about this is not even in the same realm as red states that chop up congressional districts for the sole purpose of diluting the vote of black and brown communities. Dems put expirations dates on their gerrymanders too.

Jeff Bezos is worth $220 billion. After building that fortune from overworking and exploiting his own workers, Bezos is now developing a fund to acquire manufacturing companies and automate them. Why do we always hear about immigrants taking jobs when the oligarchs are actually to blame?

I read the “Save America Act,” so you don’t have to. Most of the media apparently *hasn’t* read it because, if they had, they would be sounding the alarm about the provision in Point 1, below, which almost none of them have even mentioned. I hope this summary helps raise awareness. 1/

I keep seeing people ask about the 25th Amendment. Guys. His entire Cabinet is walking around in shoes that don’t fit because they’re scared to take them off. The 25th is never happening.
