This is a 𝗵𝘂𝗴𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺 because these candidates & causes 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘆 to win.

They’re making it look like money is going to ⬇️, but it isn’t.

My next post will list the accounts I found that were all posting the same content, including links to (supposed) candidates, that were actually PRO PAC.

About a month ago, the Trump administration got rid of the de minimis exemption, whereby packages valued under $800 could slide in without import duties. Now there's a backlog as the government can't process all of this paperwork, leading to UPS just destroying packages

Business Insider headline reads: UPS is telling customers that their packages coming to the US are marked for destruction.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

The House speaker claims this has nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein. Then why delay the swearing in of Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva, who handily won a special election in Arizona *two weeks* ago?

He can easily prove it. trib.al/yUJZ0OT

With roughly a third reporting, Helena Moreno and Michelle Woodfork are above the 50% threshold they’ll need to win without heading to a runoff. (Both are Dems, as is most everyone else in race.) More later!

It’s actually Election Day tomorrow… in Louisiana!

I’m watching: the New Orleans sheriff race, and the New Orleans mayor’s race.

Both in my cheat sheet of elections to watch this fall!

I keep seeing this get posted. The AZ electors were charged a year and a half ago. The AZ Superior Court ENDED the case five months ago. The AZ AG will have to appeal to the AZ Supreme Court or go back and start again with a grand jury. Please stop sharing this.

At least 6 cars

About 8-9 ICE agents

All to abuse and arrest a 15 year old girl; even forcing a knee onto her neck

America-under Donald Trump-has become an authoritarian state

Repressing dissent

Eroding-then ignoring-the rule of law

And terrorizing children

As lady liberty wept

This.👇🏼 I am old enough to be a grandparent, and have not watched network news in well over a decade. I also get my news on TikTok Bluesky, Instagram. However, I’m an avid streamer because I like good dramas. Paramount+ is no longer a service that I pay for. 𝗗𝘂𝗺𝗯 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲.

Bruno J. Navarro @brunojnavarro.bsky.social · 6h

No one can save CBS News, because it was made for a media ecosystem that is now dead. Broadcast television is slowly circling the drain, its aging audience drifting toward the great inevitable. Younger people are getting their news from TikTok and Instagram in ever-greater numbers, and they trust institutional media less than ever. CBS in particular — that’s your new company, now — has the oldest audience in primetime TV. These folks aren’t The Free Press’ assiduously courted “classical liberals,” either. It’s normie grandparents, a bunch of whom are planning to appear at the next No Kings rally. I might invoke Edward R. Murrow, but they remember him. They don’t have any goodwill toward you. They don’t know who you are at all. And they are not going to defend you when you screw up.

Diane Keaton was a true Californian. She was a self-described oddball, uniquely stylish, deeply creative, funny, and an acting legend who could steal the screen in comic and dramatic roles alike. She was in a class all her own, an icon.

or just keep doing them whilst adding a few more genocides in addition.

There was a sign over Auschwitz that read "Arbeit Macht Frei": work sets you free. It was a lie. The United States is founded on the same lie, but the difference is we perpetuate it to this day.

I truly hope so. I fear that AI can take so many jobs in the future that future generations will not have the ability to work.

"...the big four – Meta, Alphabet, Microsoft and Amazon – are this year spending the equivalent of the GDP of Portugal on AI infrastructure. This is not investment in new targeted ads, it is investment in an AI future. The bubble will burst if and when this future is in doubt."

What could burst the AI bubble?

The value of many tech firms has soared – but some observers are now worried.

I was thinking about this yesterday, as the new tariffs caused a knot in my stomach.

They are doing whatever they can to hurt the American people.

Many Maga don’t realize how much these policies hurt them, too. The tariffs directly harm individual creators & the business I work for as a whole. 😒

Step 2: Take a photo of your label that shows all the information, including drug name, dosage, anything you see about the manufacturer and NDC number, if included.

This might require multiple photos.
