I was going to migrate everything there. Now I'm not. Will find an alternative. Thank god I didn't move everything yet. This is depicable.

Why are any of these companies getting a dime of taxpayer money if they make tens of billions in profits every year? Explain it to me like I'm in kindergarden, meaning no BS about "markets".

@dashrb @Npars01 @davidaugust
They get federal subsidies correct? Oil and gas have been getting them for decades? Why?

"How much does the US subsidize oil and gas?
It's not just the US: according to the International Energy Agency, fossil fuel handouts hit a global high of $1 trillion in 2022 – the same year Big Oil pulled in a record $4 trillion of income. In the United States, by some estimates taxpayers pay about $20 billion dollars every year to the fossil fuel industry. May 3, 2023"

I just can't take much more. Corporate media is going all in on trashing our democracy for billionaires' profits. They memory hole the insurrection. I feel we may never get out from under the billionaire boots. New stories of extreme corporate abuse and murder drop constantly. They are getting away with all of it. 🤬

This is a very insightful piece about the state of Amerikkka.

"This, I think, is what has befallen America. This is a disease of affluence, not poverty. This isn’t a story of a working class that is being pinched. It’s the story of a working class that is doing better than any comparable working class ever has and a professional class who are angry about that. Who feel that this newfound security means they no longer show proper deference to their social betters."

@GottaLaff
They are so rich that it's totally unnecessary so why are they doing it?

@palin
i just saw that. That was a Project 2025 priority. To get rid of the FDIC. That's because billionaires plan to tank our financial system with crypto and they don't want people to get their money back. Evil evil fucks and no one is doing anything to stop them in this current administration. When you just leave an information void the MAGAt lunatics fill it. Are they still trying to "lower the temperature"? Failed policy. Horribly failed.

The best thing for the world right now would be for Russia to collapse. It is a murderous, violent, devilish hell of a county. Think how much malign influence and hateful propagandist manipulation would just disappear. All the MAGAt GQP and influencers would be out of jobs. 😆 ☠️ Slava Ukraini!

This makes me sick. I don't blame Jack Smith, I blame Garland. The J6 Committee hinted that he wasn't even going to indict or prosecute either of these heinous treasonous crimes unless forced. The documents case was cut and dry but still Teflon Don walks away? F*ck Garland. 🤬

This is a really great assessment. We are totally past this into chaos now but just posting to keep it for myself.

I truly believe this is the case. Migrants will be put in prison work camps. Look how much private prison stock has gone up since #DonTheCon's illegitimate win.

The majority of Americans can't read a book. That is a very concerning fact.

From Google:
"American illiteracy is 21%
On average, 79% of U.S. adults nationwide are literate in 2024. 21% of adults in the US are illiterate in 2024. 54% of adults have a literacy below a 6th-grade level (20% are below 5th-grade level). Low levels of literacy costs the US up to 2.2 trillion per year."

@benroyce
Incredibly disturbing and cruel and I think we must help Iranians to free themselves. Iran has a horrible violent leadership. Another Arab Spring? This woman was probably murdered.

@shaedrich @benroyce
The women of Afghanistan would disagree with you on that I think.

@shaedrich @benroyce
They did not want the US to leave and were terrified of the consequences for very good reason.

@shaedrich @benroyce
That day was never going to come because the schedule that was agreed on made an orderly removal impossible. Could Biden change the schedule and rescind the deal that #DonTheCon made? I don't know. I'm sure that would have created massive issues in itself.

@shaedrich @benroyce
I vehemently disagree. This was entirely the fault of the disgusting pig #DonTheCon. He did not include the Afghan government in the deal. He released 5000 Taliban fighters. He sabotaged the presidential transition so the Biden Administration had no information. Then the Afghan government simply bailed at the beginning of the transition. But the Taliban have made Afghanistan into a horrific place for women and that is 100% on them. NOT THE USA or BIDEN.

We really need to help the Baltic countries fight against the Russian assault on their governments. The Moldova situation is dire. Give Ukraine everything they ask for and take off all restrictions. This is the best way to stop the Russian orcs.

@StillIRise1963
I LOVE THIS! 😆 Deport all these creepy psycho billionaires. They have all committed a massive amount of crimes. Musk is paying for votes FFS!!
