Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public.

He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit.

Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

Why are Bezos, Zuckerberg, Musk, Pichai and Tim Cook visiting and giving money to Trump ?

Because they are in “The Race “ to become the dominant platform in the world.

Amazon/Anthropic vs FB/LLama vs Google/Gemini vs Twitter/Grok, vs IPhones/ChatGpt is the penultimate global power war ever.

Millionaires and billionaires would be perfectly FINE not getting salary for 33 days, or even 333 days.

The average American, folks like you and me working paycheck to paycheck, would not. Do NOT let billionaires make decisions for US.

PASS IT ON.

This guy 🤮
You get tax benefits for putting your money in a foundation but then you have to actually give your money away.

Musk is taking advantage of the tax benefits while not giving away his money

This year he’s $421 million short of the minimum
Musk’s Foundation Gave Away Less Money Than Required in 2023
Private foundations must donate 5 percent of their assets every year. Elon Musk’s enormous charity missed that standard for three consecutive years.

It was tragic to hear about the loss of Brian Thompson, CEO of UnitedHealthcare. While nothing can justify violence, his death has sparked an important conversation about the flaws in the insurance system. It’s time for meaningful reform to ensure fairness and accountability for all.

If you want to understand why healthcare pricing is horrific, the first thing to know is that our system puts 100% of the credit risk for deductibles, copays and co-insurance on hospitals and doctors. That's insane.

We have turned them into Sub Prime Lenders 🧵

Biden: My administration is moving ahead on a 10-year plan to revive native languages. It's a vision that works with tribes to support teachers, schools, communities.. in order to save native language from disappearing. This matters. It's a part of our heritage.

Even with all the data available, policymakers and companies continue dismissing the catastrophic consequences.

🌟 HOPE FOR SYRIA 🌟

The reported fall of Bashar al-Assad’s regime is a monumental step toward freedom for Syrians. After years of suffering under dictatorship, the people of Syria may finally see a brighter future.

A new chapter begins 🙌🏻
💥BREAKING IN SYRIA💥Syrian rebels report dictator Bashar al-Assad has fled Damascus, and claim to have captured the capital.

A tyrant has fallen, and Syrians are witnessing the dramatic collapse of the authoritarian regime in Damascus.

This is a staggering end to the 50-year tyrannical rule…
