A good reminder that most social media is just fake bullshit that is making money off of you.
America’s Polarization Has Become the World's Side Hustle
The 'psyops' revealed by X are entirely the fault of the perverse incentives created by social media monetization programs.

today instead of buying barely discounted crap, get a paid subscription to an independent media outlet! a little $ goes a long way towards supporting a free press. 🗞️

drop links to your own or your faves in the replies so ppl can easily sign up (bonus if you add a couple words about why it’s good!):

Imagine what the prescription you pay $20 for 90 days worth would cost if you didn't have insurance. You can bet it would be a hulluva lot more.
WOLFERS: “When a politician says: we’ll deregulate health insurance and send you a “freedom account” check, ask: freedom to buy what? If insurers don’t offer real policies or can cherry-pick only healthy people, that money is a coupon for a store that’s not open.” #MedicareForAllNOW

Worse yet, they say, it’s coming even before cuts to Medicaid in President Donald Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act take effect and the potential expiration of Obamacare subsidies at year’s end. The charities are warning of exploding medical debt and lower survival rates for diseases like…
Politico on the rising number of Americans facing catastrophic medical insurance costs: "The Trump economy is not focusing on the root causes of why health care costs are so high in this country."
Americans are buckling under medical bills. It could get worse.
Charities that help people pay for care say demand is way up. That’s before scheduled Medicaid and Obamacare cuts take effect.

As you open your hearts and wallets to charities this year, here's something to keep in mind... 👇
I was just thinking about contributing to the "charity" Feeding America. Until I discovered that the salary for its CEO, Claire Babineaux-Fontenot, was approximately $949,866 in 2024, with her total compensation being $1,113,502. Apparently, feeding America isn't her top priority.

Nike Founder Phil Knight gave $3 million to Republicans in Oregon. Toyota Chairman Akio Toyoda wore a trump-vance T-Shirt & MAGA hat at a NASCAR event in Japan. Both men are powerful & have everything they could ever need but still chose to support oppression. Shop accordingly. #BoycottMAGA

As Thanksgiving approaches, I am thankful for this place, and the community that gathers here.

The last year would have been truly intolerable without it.

My best to you and yours!

The more I get to know my hummingbirds, I'm not surprised to learn this about turkeys. Such characters! 🦃🤎
This Thanksgiving we are so grateful that we get to know turkeys in ways that most people don't. Here are ten awesome things we love about turkeys! 🦃

1. Their gorgeous plumage. Most people think turkeys are just "brown" but their feathers have beautiful patterns, colors, and iridescence!
