When billionaires take control of communication platforms, it’s not a win for free speech. It’s a win for oligarchy.

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.

73% of ICE detainees have no criminal convictions, according to govt data.
Don’t fall for Trump’s lies about targeting the “worst of the worst.”
As ICE terrorizes cities to fill up detention centers, remember that some of Trump's major donors are private prison corporations.
