We are in an all-hands-on-deck moment for women across the world.

Exactly ONE YEAR AGO TODAY (just before the presidential election) we created "Bohemian Trumpsody" ... so now people can play #Project25 bingo with what was in the parody vs what has transpired in the USA in the 365 days since ...

Media bosses may also need to watch their bottom lines. Subscribers are not beholden to said ball!

How many of those have we cancelled recently… I know I use two of those but used more this time last year. If anything the jolt is welcome.
As @rbreich.bsky.social notes billionaires and their families own X, Paramount, CBS, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, the Washington Post, Amazon, MGM, Fox News, the Wall Street Journal and New York Post, and could soon own Warner Bros and CNN
And they are all Trump supporters

@thetnholler.bsky.social re your post on immigrants & profit, what are your thoughts on DHS harvesting DNA aswell ?

Why would DHS need your DNA or your ocular profile to determine citizenship?
Beginning to sound a lot like eugenics to me.

Mark Zuckerberg’s Palo Alto neighbors complained about the noise, the presence of security and the hordes of traffic. Then, neighbors noticed that an unlicensed school appeared to be operating out of the Zuckerberg compound. They began a crusade to shut it down that did not end until summer 2025.
