Imagine knowing your platform was a playground for predators, fueling teen depression, eating disorders, and suicide and deciding the best course of action was… absolutely nothing. Meta didn’t just “miss” anything.

Socialism is what they called public power.
Socialism is what they called social security.
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.
—Harry Truman, 1952

The proof this is a bad deal is that it is an ultimatum. If it offered Ukraine salvation, why would Donald Trump have to force it on Volodymyr Zelensky? Why are European allies scrambling to stall it?
Donald Trump’s peace plan would be bad for Ukraine, Europe and America
It is a sad mix of naked opportunism and strategic myopia

“Why not just hire Americans?”
🧑🌾“We’d love to. We can’t find the numbers. This is hard work lots of people won’t do… Trump’s policies are definitely impacting the labor force and hurting our farmers. 50-60% of the labor force is undocumented.”

The regime is doing all it can to kill renewable energy.
It is deeply in the pocket of the fossil fuel industry.
To all our detriment.

Bruce Hornsby turns 71 today.
Of “The Way it Is”, he said: “I grew up in Virginia, and you could still feel the old lines — racial lines, economic lines — running through everyday life. The lyrics came from seeing those things .. I wasn’t trying to preach; I was just writing down what I saw.”

We spent a year investigating billionaires for @washingtonpost.com.
We found: the wealthiest 100 Americans gave $1.1 billion to influence the 2024 elections — 140x more than they did in 2000. And almost all of that giving boosted Republicans.
