One of Trump's billionaire buddies just bought Paramount. Now, he wants to buy Warner Bros.

That means one giant company could control almost everything you watch on TV.

It has been said before, but it bears repeating: the elderly who’ve worked their entire lives to get $800 a month on Social Security aren’t bankrupting America. It’s tax-evading billionaires like Trump who are bleeding this country dry.

We don't speak enough about how men on the internet were counting the days until Emma Watson, the Olson twins etc had left to go until they turned 18. How can you grow up with people objectifying you while you were still going through puberty without it affecting you.

Being a lawyer right now is weird because you're sitting waiting multiple years for an Appellate Court to rule on basic shit, meanwhile SCOTUS rules every ten seconds that a different precedent doesn't mean what it very clearly says

Can we stop with the caricatures and Islamophobia? Thanks.

A tweet from Lis Smith says: “NYC deserves so much better than this. What a disgraceful end to this race.” It quotes journalist Jeff Coltin, who describes receiving an “anti-Mamdani push poll” that mixes legitimate policy questions (like a millionaires tax) with Islamophobic and antisemitic talking points. The attached image shows screenshots of survey questions on political issues.

Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump's calling Reagan’s words here “FAKE” and “fraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad:
