Elon Musk’s father on the prospect of the U.S. becoming a minority-white country:

“This will be very very bad. You want to see the U.S. go dark? You don’t like electric cars and technology? Do you want to go back to the jungle?”

Amazon announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

I don’t care what your religion is if you are claiming to provide healthcare.

You either actually provide healthcare or you are denying healthcare and forcing people to suffer because your cult doesn’t believe in science.

We should not pay tax $ to religious facilities that deny people healthcare.
Many people dismissed the announcement Catholic hospitals will ban gender-affirming care nationwide under the assumption that there will be other options. In reality, Catholic hospitals make up as much 46% of options in some states. This map is 2020, prior to Trump’s assault on safety net hospitals.

This is so so disturbing. Trump is now pardoning January 6th rioters for unrelated crimes, just to reward them for their violence to keep him in power.

The Republican Party is in the full time business of endorsing and incentivizing political violence. So scary.

Go see Nuremberg: not only will it teach you about the Nazis’ many, many crimes, including the Holocaust which is (rightly) the one thing people know about the Third Reich.

53% of Americans believe billionaires are a threat to American democracy.

Meanwhile, just 100 billionaire families spent $2.6 billion on federal elections last year — a 160-fold increase since Citizens United.

The people know: billionaires should not be able to buy our elections.
