What do these corporations have in common?

Netflix
Ford
Tesla
T-Mobile
Duke Energy
DISH Network
Metlife
Dominion Energy
United States Steel

In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes.

This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

While the right lose their goddamn minds about a lone wolf doing something horrendous in DC today, let’s not forget that last week in the White House they all gushed over a genocidal, journalist murdering tyrant whose country financed 9/11.

Kristi Noem is guilty of crimes against humanity and needs to face justice.

📌 She made the final call to defy a court order to halt deportation flights, sending people into the hellscape of CECOT, a place the UN has compared to a torture chamber.

Prosecute her and everyone involved.

SCOOP—In August, nearly 200 current/former FEMA staffers published the Katrina Declaration, a whistleblower letter detailing all the dangers posed by current leadership.

All current employees were put on indefinite leave, and now I've learned one has been fired in violation of federal protections:
FEMA employee terminated for signing whistleblower letter
It appears to be a major violation of federal whistleblower protections and constitutional rights.

If you live in or you know anyone in Tennessee’s 7th district, TODAY is the LAST day to vote early.

And tell everyone you know who hasn’t voted that it is all about turnout next Tuesday. We need as many people showing up to the polls. We can do this.

From the MN Society for Professional Journalists: St. Paul police shot three photojournalists (MPR, Reuters, Sahan Journal) with "less lethal" munitions during an ICE operation yesterday. One had to go to the hospital. They say they were specifically targeted by St. Paul police.

So he was banned. I'm so angry about this. We were mutuals and he was not doing ANYTHING against tos afaik - I don't think he even tagged any other pro-Palestinian accounts. Just quoting fundraisers and posting art.
Does anybody know what the (bs) justification for this was?
Hey @bsky.app @safety.bsky.app @support.bsky.team please unsuspend Goran immediately.

Goran is a great person, a great artist, and the whole anti-Palestine thing youre on is one of those "Ford funding Hitler" disasters you remember being shocked and dismayed by when you learned of in middle school.

Still kinda bothered that our president is calling for the execution of folk in Congress who served in the military for encouraging folk to defend the constitution. I can't remember the last time a president did this and I've been around for a while.

One thing thats annoyed me about ai adoption is how self identified data and science people are approaching it so unscientifically.

Before making a decision about whether to accept something as true or adopt a new drug, etc, scientists set a parameter of acceptable error.

But we dont for ai?
