Neither Netflix nor the Paramount/Trump/Saudi Arabia group should own Warner Bros. Both deals are absurd - terrible for consumers and democracy.

This is a story about corruption - Trump using government power to screw consumers and gain control of the media. A red alert moment.

Well, at last! Congress is planning to withhold some of the regime’s allowance! Take that “power of the purse strings” out for a spin.

I gave some thought to this post and decided that IF billionaires convicted of defrauding the public were included “perhaps” I could support hanging the convicted. 😜

This grift that orangeman has with extracting money for pardons has to be shutdown. This scandal deserves a Congressional hearing/investigation - at least. We are blowing up supposed "drug boats" and pardoning the drug ring leaders. Follow the money and bust the big boys.
The pardons Trump is handing out are a huge, growing scandal that not enough people are talking about. This is a money making operation - for for Trump, his family, his crypto pals, and the Trump-affiliated lobbyists and grifters who the pardon seekers pay.

Martin has since been released, thanks to public outcry, as well as union & legal representation. But this shouldn’t have happened at all. Filming ICE is not a crime ✊

Earlier today, Martin Hernandez, the Organizing Director for United Food & Commercial Workers Local 99, was detained by Mesa PD while filming ICE activity in near Brown and Country Club.

Vote with your dollar, support small business! 💯
Cannot emphasize this enough.

If you shop on Black Friday, shop only at small biz, minority owned biz, women owned biz, or support independent media.

Do not give Big Box Retailers your money! #WeAintBuyingIt

A sad irony in Washington, D.C., where West Virginia National Guardsmen were shot today. Six days ago, a court ruled their deployment was illegal, but stayed the order pending appeal. My heart goes out to these public servants and their families. oag.dc.gov/sites/defaul...

Thank you to the first responders who subdued the suspect that shot two National Guard members earlier today. It’s an awful thing for a family to learn a loved one was shot while receiving mixed reports of their well being.

Praise of the Week: Sen. Mark Kelly! His service (pilot, NASA commander) defines his unwavering loyalty. He stood firm against POTUS' reckless incitement of violence, proving his oath is to the Constitution, not any person. True leadership. 🫡 Thanks @captmarkkelly.bsky.social! #POTW #AZIndivisibles
