Today’s AWS outage is a reminder of what happens when a handful of tech giants control the internet.

Last year, we warned this was coming: Microsoft pushed back on regulators who tried to rein in Big Tech’s monopoly over the cloud.

Russ Vought set out to ensure a second Trump term would not be hampered by checks and balances: “I don’t want President Trump having to lose a moment of time having fights in the Oval Office about whether something is legal or doable or moral.”

@maddow.msnbc.com They should be ashamed of themselves. Did they not learn anything from folding to a dictator? Time for @msnbc.com to go! Its not like trump isn't going to get rid of them anyway. They just managed to piss off their viewers beforehand so when it happens they're given a cake first.

NBC just gutted the very teams that gave marginalized voices a seat at the table—then called it “restructuring.”

The cuts:

📌NBC BLK (Black community coverage)

📌NBC Latino (Latino community coverage)

📌NBC Asian America (Asian American community coverage)

📌NBC Out (LGBTQ+ community coverage)

“We found over 35 cases in which the judges have specifically said what the government is providing…false information. It might be intentionally false information, including false sworn declarations time and again," says Ryan Goodman, law professor at New York University.

Boycott #Spotify folks, unsubscribing or removing them, is the only power, we have at this moment. Daniel Ek & Martin Lorentzon, own it. Time to hold truth to power & take them down.... They know what they did & they don't care who runs their ads as long as they get the contract.

This is not profanity, but profanity is protected by the First Amendment. Cohen v. California.

Get yourselves ready & come up with a plan for when they come to get our voting machines via through their military takeover. It's their plan to switch out our voting machines, for the ones that Ivanka has as a TM for, in China. Why else would she have a TM ffs. @democrats-judiciary.house.gov

Cons, thieves & psychopaths that seems to be about the compiling of the GOP these days.They should be behind bars following the organizing, partaking & funding of the insurrection with #SCOTUS. Why are they not? @the-dem.bsky.social look like cowards, when voters see nothing was done. @nytimes.com

"No king but Jesus" is the EXACT sign I saw numerous people carrying at the #nokings rally in New Braunfels. They're serious about that belief; it's MAGA Christians that aren't.

Chip Roy: "The truth is the marxist, radicals, and Islamists the Democratic Party promoted this weekend, they cannot handle the truth. The truth is that there is a king and that king is Jesus. And the president has been willing to say it, and Charlie Kirk was willing to say it and he got killed for it."
