The richest man owns X.
The second and third richest men control Google.
The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.
The seventh richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

See the problem here?
Social Security isn’t going to run dry by accident.
Income inequality is draining it.
Once someone makes more than $182,000, they stop paying into Social Security. Lift the cap. Make billionaires pay their fair share. Protect Social Security.

The Albanian people have been massively protesting for several consecutive days against slumlord crook Jared Kushner and Crimestress Ivanka seizing land in their country to the sum of billions of dollars to build a trashy resort. I hope they don’t stop until their evil corrupt deal is reversed.
California just held an election w/paper ballots, signature verification, audits, bipartisan oversight & public vote counting procedures.
You don’t get to yell “fraud” every time voters make a choice you don’t like.
