OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says he's 'politically homeless' in July 4 post bashing Democrats
"We should encourage people to make tons of money and then also find ways to widely distribute wealth and share the compounding magic of capitalism," he wrote.

"Poor" Sam Altman. He says he's "politically homeless". Sam, feel free to open your Hawaii estate, or your mega-mansion in San Francisco, or better yet, both, to the true homeless who don't have a roof over their head this 4th of July. And school them on the "compounding magic of capitalism".

“That’s slavery.”
Civil Rights lawyer @oliverma2026.bsky.social (running for CA Lt. Gov.) reminds us ICE detainees work in for-profit prisons for $1/day just to pay for phone calls to their families.
Cruelty is big business.
P.S. @CoreCivic’s new CEO’s last name is “Swindle” — beyond parody

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Q: How can markets trust the Fed is independent if it looks like there's a criminal investigation into Powell for not complying w/ Trump?

The 2026 election has already begun.
In the words of Amanda Gorman in her poem for Renee Good,
“If for us she arose,
Somewhere, in the pitched deep of our grief,
Crouches our power,
The howl where we begin,
Straining upon the edge of the crooked crater
Of the worst of what we’ve been”.
