Don Knight posted “According to RFK Jr., autistic people will "never pay taxes and never hold a job." That's weird—I'm autistic, and I've built global brands that brought joy to millions. My companies have probably paid more in taxes than his companies have ever earned. Autism is my superpower. Grifting is his.”

Bernie calls it again.
Social media post by Senator Bernie Sanders, saying "This is what American media looks like today: The wealthiest person in the world, Elon Musk, owns X. The second wealthiest person in the world, Larry Ellison, owns Paramount, including CBS, and will possibly now be taking over TikTok and CNN. Jeff Bezos owns the Washington Post and Twitch. Mark Zuckerberg owns both Facebook and Instagram. In fact, the top five richest men in the world are ALL media owners or executives. When we talk about oligarchy in America, it's not only income and wealth inequality. It's control over the media and what the American people are able to see, hear and read."

It's odd that it's always framed that other countries "stole" American jobs, and never that the ultra rich shipped our jobs away for a quick buck.

Democrats fled Texas? Do we actually need to be reminded the Republicans fled DC to avoid a vote to release the Epstein Files?

Love is revolutionary.
Rev. Benjamin Cremer posted, "It is moments like this that you begin to understand why so many have demonized empathy and compassion. They want us to care so little for others that we will ignore injustices being carried out against them. It is in moments like these that love for others is revolutionary."
