As Amazon looks to buy WB with the feds’ approval, it’s worth remembering that Amazon is fresh off an FTC settlement over deceiving customers, faces a separate antitrust suit and has faced hundreds of complaints over exploiting workers.
Those ballroom donations sure make sense!

Two years ago, Hollywood workers went on strike to protest exploitation and the risks AI poses to creative jobs.
This week, Amazon justified 14k layoffs on AI grounds as it seeks to free up $$$ to acquire Warner Bros.

Amazon buying Warner Bros isn’t just a disaster for competition and media: It’s a disaster for workers. Amazon’s monopoly is underpinned by its merciless exploitation of its workforce.

This week in DC, Nvidia is hosting a Super Bowl of AI. Nvidia, the market leader of AI hardware, also just announced a partnership with OpenAI, the market leader of AI software. The FTC must investigate this shady partnership that threatens to dominate AI.

Today, Defense Secretary Hegseth deployed an aircraft carrier and its strike group to the waters off South America. This further escalates the risk of the U.S. getting dragged into a regime change war in Venezuela.

Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre wrote that she was violently beaten and raped by a “well-known prime minister.”
Releasing the Epstein files is not about political gotchas. It's about holding some of the richest and most powerful people accountable for their actions.

Help us make this make sense:
1. Trump releases an AI Action Plan requiring the government to only use "neutral, nonpartisan tools"
2. Today, Trump grants all federal agencies access to Elon Musk's Grok AI, which infamously called itself "MechaHitler" this summer

It's just not true that Rep. Thomas Massie & @rokhanna.bsky.social's bill to release the Epstein files exposes the victims. The bill has specific language protecting them.
These obvious falsehoods, delay tactics & distractions are exactly why we need to clear the air and release the files.
