Paramount, the owner of CBS, has been accused of meddling in reporting being done by 60 Minutes.
Why?
It needs approval from Trump's FCC to be acquired by Skydance — a media company founded by the son of billionaire Trump-backer Larry Ellison.

I'm not sure which of you need to hear this, but:
If you push yourself to your limits and burn out for a company, you are trading years of your future productivity for minor gains in the present.
Burning out will _fuck you up_, it's like brain fog or depression, and it takes years to recover

Just a small reminder that Teddy Roosevelt creating the Federal National Parks was one of the biggest illegal land grabs in history from Natives. Y’all were never supposed to be the ones overseeing them. They were our homes, our food, our life.

Their goal is not Justice. It’s maintenance. This is why they treat protest with more hostility than the things we’re protesting.
