Zuckerberg owns Facebook, Instagram, Threads, and WhatsApp.

Jeff Bezos owns the Washington Post.

Elon Musk owns Twitter/X.

When multi-billionaires take control of our most vital platforms for communication, it’s not a win for free speech. It’s a win for oligarchy

People won't believe it, but despite four years in the White House Donald Trump has no idea what any of these jobs actually do, let alone what would count as reasonable experience for taking them.

A Trump supporting, anti-trans, anti-gay Republican was elected commissioner of the county where I grew up. He won despite being in jail on election night for a sexual assault in Vegas.

It’s now come out that the woman he assaulted was his daughter.

What's behind Trump’s gonzo cabinet nominations?

Flood the zone? Yes, but it's deeper than that.

Trump wants to deflect our attention while he and his fellow billionaires loot America.

He's on his way to creating a government of billionaires, by billionaires, for billionaires.
