A tweet from Robert Reich states: “The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?”

The oligarchy wants full control of what we watch and read.

First Colbert, now Kimmel.

Last-minute settlements, secret side deals, multi-billion dollar mergers pending Donald Trump's approval.

Trump silencing free speech stifles our democracy. It sure looks like giant media companies are enabling his authoritarianism.

This will not get people treatment or help. This is another way to disappear people and l almost certainly has the goal of being used against political enemies. Not trying to be dramatic. But was just awake in history class for more than five minutes.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

Laura Loomer‘s tweet: Alligator lives matter. The good news is, alligators are guaranteed at least 65 million meals if we get started now.

The entire Latino population in the U.S. is 65 million. She means all of us.

Massive crowd of No Kings marchers.

Stay classy, San Diego. #NoKings

Everyone needs to hear this right now:

Don't let others make you feel miserable for taking joy in things. The world is a horrible place. If we don't take time to make ourselves happy, we'll crumble. The world will tell you not to smile. Ignore it. Find happiness where you can, even if it's small.

Under Texas’ Abortion Ban, Where a Woman Lives Can Determine Her Risk of Developing Sepsis While the rates of dangerous infections spiked across the state after it banned abortion in 2021, women in Houston fared far worse than those in Dallas, according to ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind ana...

NEW: The rate of sepsis in Houston surged 63% after Texas banned abortion.

In the Dallas-Fort Worth area, where hospital leaders empowered doctors to intervene before patients’ conditions worsened, it rose just 29%.

"What trillion-dollar problem is AI trying to solve?"

Wages. They're trying to use it to solve having to pay wages.

Less outrage. More ACTION.

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

Tomorrow, a certain online mega-retailer launches a book sale, just days before Indie Bookstore Day on 4/26. This is no coincidence; Bookstore Day is one of the largest revenue drivers for indies.

Indies need our support to thrive & build community spaces for all...mega-retailers do not.

They were the ship that should have been. She had better chemistry with him than any other male lead in the show. I'm still mad about it.

I agree with you. I've never been a fan of SpongeBob. It's annoying and obnoxious. But hear me out, the theater musical is very good. Make it make sense.

Hi.

Books are incredibly important.

Please let them be.

Resist the regime.

Reading books is resistance.

Buying books is resistance.

Sharing books is resistance.

Celebrating books is resistance.

Resist this regime.

I bought the soundtrack to this movie immediately after watching the movie and still have it on my iPod today. No regrets. It still slaps.
