I have never seen a more disgusting spectacle than Trump and Vance inviting Zelensky to the White House to berate him, then letting the cabinet members line up and shit talk him because he hasn't bowed to their pro-Russian extortion attempts. That was a new low, even for a dirtbag like Trump. WTF!

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024.

You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right?

Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year.

You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.
Tesla Paid Zero Federal Income Tax in 2024, Despite $2.3 Billion in Income
This brings Tesla’s average tax rate over the past three years to 0.4 percent.

More than 100.000 people in Germany 🇩🇪 in the streets today, like here in Berlin, protesting the rise of far right politics, like the AfD nazi party promoted by Elon Musk.

May all sentient beings be endowed with happiness! May they all be separated from suffering and its causes! May they be endowed with joy, free from suffering! May they abide in equanimity, free from attachment or aversion.

Convicted felons are unable to lawfully enter Canada, so some look for other ways. Seriously though, the vast majority of Canadians don’t want to join a corrupt, failing democracy, run by a convicted felon and his gang of kleptocratic con men, grifters and charlatans. 1/2

We love Canadians. Thank you.
While Trump is trolling Canada about annexing it, Canadians are in Los Angeles tonight dropping water on the Palisades fire. He’s a disgrace.

First of all, why would Canada want to join our rotten healthcare system, acquire our mass shooting epidemic and give up their sane parliamentary system for our broken government? Also, indigenous Canadians and Greenland Inuits have enough problems with their colonizers to ever accede to Trump.
