Originally posted on 28 Sept, 2026 - update to the #BestBuy protection racket. Despite trying to strong arm me into paying another $200 for a protection plan I'd already bought; when I refused to pay, they charged my card anyway! Now I'm having to ask a bank - a bank! - to look into it for me.

Just to be clear... Prop 40 is a ONE-TIME retroactive tax. It applies ONLY to billionaires and would tax just 5% of their wealth — which grew 30% in 2025. California's billionaires would still be worth $2T+ AFTER the tax. The revenue will fund healthcare for millions of Californians. Vote YES.

New SEC filings show that Mark Zuckerberg is preparing to pay California’s billionaire tax without losing control of Meta. So billionaires can afford to pay the tax? And they won't lose control of their companies or flee the state? Don’t fall for billionaires’ propaganda. Vote YES on Prop 40.

Are there any of my Republican/Conservative friends able to explain why it's okay to allow the 1% of the population that holds 90% of the nation's wealth to not pay taxes? I'm looking forward to listening to your BS. I'll wait. 🪙

The only way somebody with less than $500M in assets would vote against Prop 40 is if they were unintelligent enough to believe the constant propaganda against it. 2 thoughts: You don't see ads in favor because the 90% of CA benefiting can't afford to run them. We outnumber the ultra-wealthy.

I'm not seeing a generational shift here, I'm seeing an affordability (sorry to buy into the hoax) shift. The vehicles Millennials and Z drive, are the same vehicles X drove when we were in our 20-30s -- because they are affordable (to buy & drive). share.google/sXxYvRwzOzW3...

Once again, I am disappointed with adulthood. Growing up, I figured I'd always be on the lookout for banana peels on the sidewalk. Never once, have I seen a random banana peel on the sidewalk, or even slipped on one. #Delusions #Lies #Disappointment #HealthInsurance

100% false. The base did not “burn down.” FACT: Thanks to a coordinated effort, just 1 structure was lost. FACT: The firefighting effort on the base is led by federal first responders — supported by local and state resources — given it’s a military base.

Meta took down the No Kings organizing page today - the biggest day of protest this fall. They provided zero explanation. It stayed down for the entire afternoon until most of the protests were done. Outrageous. Put this on the January investigation list.

How rich is it that the federal government is citing Bank of America for money laundering? LOL - maybe they're upset that somebody else is horning in on their territory! #Empire #Resist #Corruption Source: AP News share.google/e03Ykp2NqYec...

Ya know why this bothers me? I have always stood behind law enforcement, however, can anybody say with any certainty that if something is "found" it wasn't put there by the Sturmabteilung (look it up if you don't know)? #Empire #Resist #Corruption #Oppresssion apnews.com/article/ilha...

Does he, or any of his unthinking cultists, hear the words that come out of his head? He wants the peace prize so he simply says he stopped wars, all while starting them and blaming the invaded for the aggression they've experienced. #Resist #Empire #AbuserMindset apnews.com/article/russ...

Never have I been happier that I sold my F-250 Power Stroke and bought a F-150 Lightning (charged by my home solar array) than right now. An investment, two years in the making. #SanctionUSA #RussianEmpire #Communism

Another economic record broken by the "Prosperity President"!

This day in history - 9 October, 1986: US District Judge Harry E. Claiborne was convicted of tax evasion in an impeachment trial, making him the fifth federal official to be removed from office through impeachment. #HistoryRepeats #Education

Exactly why a man or a nation cannot show soft spots. Lesson learned! share.google/otpDkWtQv5Ki...

This day in history - 8 October, 2001: The Office of Homeland Security was established by Pres. George W. Bush. #HistoryRepeats #Didn'tAgeWell

Because nothing shouts "Civilized Democracy!" like a dictator executing citizens in public (regardless of the citizen, it is definitely a scare tactic). I thought the USA had grown out of such displays at the end of the 19th century. #Empire #Resist #TinPotDictator apnews.com/article/fort...

This day in history - 7 October, 2023: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declares, "We are at war" following an attack into Israel from Gaza. #HistoryRepeats

"I think it’s bad for our society to make it unpleasant, not to mention dangerous, for judges and other high-ranking public officials to feel insecure in their homes." - Justice Alito Apparently it's ok for SCOTUS to continually rule against the rights of the American people, but.... #Empire #Jester

This day in history - 6 October, 1949: President Truman strengthens NATO by signing the Mutual Defense Assistance Act. #HistoryRepeats

FFS… Is it really an accident anymore at this point?

This day in history - 4 October, 1993: Boris Yeltsin rolled tanks on Russian Parliament and shelled the elected representatives after they impeached him for unconstitutionally dissolving the legislature by executive order. This began Putin's rise to dictator. #HistoryRepeats #Education

This day in history - 3 October, 1283: Dafydd ap Gruffydd, Prince of Gwynedd, Wales, becomes the first person to be executed by being hanged, drawn, and quartered I choose to not add an image for this one. #HistoryRepeats

Because, yes, blame the person in the middle, wash your hands, don't fix anything, and then continue with business as normal once the smoke clears.... #Broken #HumanRights apnews.com/article/tenn...

Dear SCOTUS - I'd like to offer a legal argument that might help you understand the social landscape of the USA: "Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted." But why start now, in this regime, huh? apnews.com/article/chri...

This day in history: 30 September, 1946 - Hermann Göring and several other German fascist leaders are found guilty at the conclusion of the Nuremberg War Crimes Trials. (Göring would go on to suicide rather than face consequences). #HistoryRepeats

Best Buy protection racket: Went to buy a phone - was sold a reward membership for $200 to get $300 off a $2K phone - bought 3 years protection for $200 (I figured $100 was acceptable if something happened) - they cancelled my protection because I won't pay another $200 for another year.

I kinda wish people would stop asking about Ellison and journalism. He's part of the regime cabal and wants CNN so he can silence it. There is no grand understanding of the importance of the fourth estate here. #Empire #Czar #Resist

This is rich! While using @proton.me VPN to remain private and read an article about a @proton.me tool exposing privacy concerns, @techradar.com wants me to drop my anonymity so they can collect my data and sell it. #HaHaHa #Dumbass #Hypocrisy www.techradar.com/vpn/vpn-priv...

The amazing thing is: MAGA won't see the diametric opposition when he starts to call people communists again. #Empire #Resist apnews.com/live/trump-x...

What if, and just hear me out, Trump's plan didn't backfire, but instead got journalists to do what he's wanted all along (making the American people blind & deaf to his actions) AND made them think it was their idea? #Empire #Propaganda Source: YouTube share.google/rCaUI0fGDCHz...

I am in CA. If you think that this is not going to impact the cost of agricultural products from CA, please raise your hand, c and explain your thinking in a reply. #Inflation #Bankruptcy #Iran #Collapse

What the actual F?

I have to ask myself: "Self, do you suppose Denmark actually knows they entered this deal, or is it abstract, the way Iran 'knows' about being close to a peace deal & China 'knows' about US trade deals?" #Empire #Resist apnews.com/article/trum...
