This is oligarchy. This is obscene.

While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%.

End this oligarchy.

Hot take that shouldn’t be a hot take tbh: let’s not target sad teens with ads.

I’m already passionate about the need for change in social (for obvious reasons), but the Meta antitrust case is reaaaallly putting it into perspective.

LETS GO ATPROTO!!!

Without an open-source social network, the future of our democracy looks very dark.

We have to focus on platforms like Bsky!

🚨 🗳️ HELP SECURE THE ELECTION! 🗳️ 🚨

Please invest *2 minutes* right now to defend democracy.

Aussies are now voting and they need to know the truth when they head to the booth.

For our factchecks to have the biggest impact possible, it's crucial they escape Bluesky and reach voters everywhere.

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism.

If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone.

Americans of conscience must stand against this now.
