Even the corrupt robber barons of the Gilded Age understood the need to contribute to society. Where are the Musk libraries or Bezos hospitals? Make noblesse oblige great again! 🧐
Rutger Bregman calls out billionaires to their faces for not using their money to help the world.

At Davos in 2019 he said: "It feels like I'm at a firefighters conference and no one's allowed to speak about water."

America has always been this way for "them." White people like me are just starting to wake up to the fact that it can happen to "us" too. I hope it's not too late for a correction, but I am growing increasingly skeptical 🧐
This is a powerful, quick lesson that describes perfectly what it’s happening in America today.

Important article. Having served 22 years in the US Air Force, I find this entire situation incredibly dispiriting 🧐
"We have seen empires fall and civilizations crumble. But we’ve almost never seen a people renounce their leadership of the world—all at once, in full public view. That is what has happened in the 365 days since January 20, 2025."
This Is the End
Putinism abroad always morphs into Putinism at home. And we chose this path. Why? Because something-something the price of eggs.

How is it possible for Scott Bessent to go a single day without multiple punches to that face? Do better, people 🧐
Bessent: "The president has said that on February 1 he will implement a 10% tariff if the Danes do not want to give up Greenland. It is on the eight countries that sent troops to Greenland."

Yes, Renee Good's murder has indeed been "reviewed by millions of Americans"—THAT'S THE FUCKING POINT 🤯

Prosecute Jonathan Ross, Greg Bovino and Kristi Noem immediately. And dismantle ICE! 🧐
BREAM: Is the FBI conducting an investigation into the ICE agent who shot Renee Good?

BLANCHE: What happened that day has been reviewed by millions of Americans. We investigate when it's appropriate to investigate. That is not the case here. So no, we are not investigating.

I was stationed in Europe for 7 years, often working closely with my NATO counterparts. Those were some of the most rewarding moments in my Air Force career. I find all of this so incredibly offensive 🤬
REPORTER: Do you commit to not militarily engaging NATO partners?

TRUMP: I don't talk about that

REPORTER: You're not willing to commit to not attacking a NATO partner?
