Gross, disgusting, unfair, completely inhumane. We are here because US (and other) societal empathy and basic decency guard rails have fallen away. Many now worship money. Money is King, über alles. To fix this, start by voting for compassionate people who are inherently decent and humane.

It’s so brazen. Kushner, Witkoff, Trump & Musk What price for the devastation Ukrainian lives, towns, cities at the receiving end of Russia’s illegal war when these pigs at the trough can profit

Fire Susan Collins, #Maine! She has ZERO concern for you or for what the GOP enabling of Trump has done to your family budgets. Try Troy Jackson as your next Senator. Troy is one of you! He will take his work ethic & care for you and your state to DC. He will make a difference! #ProudBlue #Pinks

🧵🗳️ FLORIDA’S 1ST DISTRICT Gay Valimont is campaigning for affordable healthcare, lower insurance costs and better veterans’ services. Jimmy Patronis’s political committee received substantial insurance-industry donations while he was Florida CFO. Voters deserve transparency. #FL01 #SheShed

BRENNAN: The DOJ lawsuit demands the Alaska result not be certified if voters are confused. The confusion is defined as Sen. Sullivan not winning. BLANCHE: That's not what it says BRENNAN: I'm quoting from it. You are telling them not to certify it. What right does the federal govt have?

Confirming that the Trump administration is aligning with a terrorist state guilty of crimes against humanity & genocide. This makes the Trump Admin complicit in war crimes. We will not forgive this treason.

California’s billionaires have a combined net worth of $2.4 trillion. Under Prop 40, their net worth would fall to…just under $2.3 trillion. What amounts to a rounding error for them would allow millions of their fellow Californians to afford healthcare. Vote yes on Prop 40.

1/ The AI industry isn't just lobbying Congress. Its allies are paying for staffers' trips, hiring former insiders, and spending heavily on state elections. Now Flock has hired major Democratic fundraisers. How many doors into government can money open? #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

Despite maybe admiring them, our president is not a king, a tsar, or a general secretary of a communist party. He can’t do whatever he wants.

"Israel seems to be paying for an AI-generated website, to influence AI chatbots to provide pro-Israel answers that can then be cited by sources that rely on AI chatbots: an AI centipede of pro-Israel propaganda, if you will."

It’s not just towns and cities that suffer from these data centers using up all the water. It’s farms that rely on irrigation that won’t be able to maintain their crops during extremely hot and dry periods like what happened this year across much of most of the continents.

More than 70% of Texas data centers refused to answer a state-mandated inquiry about their water use. These Corrupt Bigshots want our water while keeping Texans in the dark about how much they're taking.

After Trump gutted the IRS workforce — including the unit tasked with auditing billionaires — the agency's annual audit revenue plunged by 35%. Trump's attacks on the IRS were never about "efficiency." They were about making it easier for the wealthy and powerful to skirt what they owe.

When women show confidence, set boundaries, or speak boldly they’re often called crazy, emotional, or delusional. Yet when men do the same things, they’re called strong, passionate, and determined. It isn’t the behavior that makes people uncomfortable ~ it’s the woman doing it. #SheShed #Women

Steve Hilton is hoping we don’t know the difference between a tax hike and an inflation adjustment. California didn’t “just raise the gas tax.” The 2.2 cent increase was the annual inflation adjustment required under SB 1, a law passed in 2017.

This is outrageous. A free press cannot function under constant threats and retaliation from the government. Reporters must be free to hold those in power accountable — without fear of retribution. The assault on the free press must end!

The Great Salt Lake already lost nearly three quarters of its volume. Kevin O’Leary wants Project Stratos, a data center the size of Manhattan, pulling 9 billion watts, more than double what all of Utah uses combined. Utah approved it. Pure greed dressed up as progress.

The Big Ugly Bill cut Medicare by $536 billion starting AFTER the elections. What kind of thoughtless idiocy cuts programs that seniors' lives depend on and thinks they won't notice? #MomSky #RepublicanMedicareCuts
