Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.

The evidence of corporate consolidation is everywhere.

It means more power for them and less freedom for you.
Netflix's $83 billion takeover of Warner Bros Discovery would mean more corporate consolidation.

Netflix, by far the #1 streamer, would take over HBO Max, the #3 streaming service.

This giant merger could violate antitrust law and hurt consumers.

Reminder: This vast consolidation of wealth and power at the top has not been due to neutral market forces.

There’s no such thing as a “free market.”

It is designed.

It either advances public purposes or it serves the monied interests.

Layoffs have hit over 1.1M so far this year — the most since the pandemic.

Yet corporate profits continue to hit record highs, with corporations increasingly spending those earnings on stock buybacks to enrich execs and shareholders.

This is what a rigged economy looks like.

A lot of people ask why deepfake sexual abuse is legal—in theory, it’s not. But why perpetrators aren’t often held to account follows the exact same patterns of inaction regarding all forms of sexual abuse

According to a new study, members of Congressional leadership perform 47% better in stock market trades than their rank-and-file peers, thanks to access to nonpublic information.

Today would be a great day to ban ALL elected officials from trading stock, don't you think?

As long as Spotify is willing to take money from ICE, they don’t need (or deserve) free advertising for Spotify Wrapped: indivisible.org/cancel-spotify?source=bluesky

Another huge issue, and I don't think people even know this is a thing, is that just about everything is done with smart phones now. And many (most?) seniors literally cannot work their phones. Signing things, texting, dealing with spam and fraud or even using the basic functions? They're often lost

The White House’s insistence on using Sabrina Carpenter’s work and image to promote their crimes against humanity is also them appealing to their base, which already uses technology to try and humiliate and puppeteer the likenesses of women who have autonomy, success, and visibility in public

🔥 @adammockler.com : “Trump wants to act like a monarch that gets gifts. FIFA just cashed in on that. They realized they can placate him. It’s humiliating that other countries are treating our president like a child. It should scare everybody who cares about the constitution.”

It's officially #SpotifyWrapped season, so we're flipping the script by unwrapping Spotify. Tell them to drop ICE ads now!

Since Spotify won’t protect immigrant communities, we’re using their own celebration to hold them accountable. Cancel your subscription to get them to pull the plug on ICE

JUST IN: Mike Johnson plans to swear in Rep.-elect Matt Van Epps on Thursday — less than two days after he won the TN-07 special election.

As a reminder, it took Johnson 50 days to swear in Democratic Rep. Adelita Grijalva.

Perspective: US guns flood Mexico and arm cartels. If we’re blowing up boats and people because of what they’re allegedly bringing into our country, would it be acceptable for Mexico to start blowing up Americans for what we bring into theirs? That’s the logic MAGA is pushing.

Can I let you in on a little secret?

Billionaire philanthropy isn’t charity.

It’s PR to distract you from low wages, labor exploitation, and a tax system that’s rigged for the rich.

the fact that official government social media accounts are rage baiting us and using pop songs so that the pop girlies reply and say “stop using my music, assholes” is something that no dystopian author prepared me for

The U.S. has conducted 19 strikes on alleged drug-carrying boats, killing at least 76 people.

Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it.

He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner.

This is a danger to us all.

Some thoughts on The New York Times comedy critic Jason Zinoman calling Louis CK’s recent work “underexamined”.👀😬
Hey, New York Times, Louis C.K. Doesn’t Need Your Help!
When a newspaper has only one stand-up comedy critic, they actually have none.

A 6-year-old boy is missing after ICE arrested him and his dad in NYC last week and shipped them off to separate facilities.

"Terrible things are happening outside. At any time of night and day, poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes...."

I don’t really understand how people don’t grasp that capitalist competition leads to monopoly. Something wins a competition. It is a pretty obvious thing.

“What if rich kids take advantage of free school lunches?” is like asking “What if rich executives take advantage of public transportation?”

What if they do?

They probably won’t. But what if they do?

Well, nothing.
