We asked Senate Republicans: is there any millionaire or billionaire rich enough who doesn't need another tax giveaway?

$10M a year? No.
$100M a year? No.
$500M a year? No.
$1 BILLION a year? No.

With Republicans in control: Billionaires win, families lose.

Image of a charitable donation receipt to The San Diego LGBT Community Center that reads: Donation Information $52.50 USD One-time Dedication: In memory of William Your Comment: In memory of my Uncle Bill, he isn't dead, he's just a homophobic conservative so every time I must interact with him I make a donation in his name to an LGBTQ organization. Paying it forward with pettiness. There is a text box added to the photo that reads: Found a new way to handle forced interactions with relatives who voted against my rights and safety. Highly recommend.

If you find yourself having to interact w/relatives that voted against your rights, may I recommend my new coping strategy of paying it forward with pettiness? Donate to an LGBTQ+, leftist, BIPOC, etc organization “in memory” of those conservative relatives who are dead to you.

Thank you Kendrick for bringing us all together to sing “a miiiinoooooooorrrr” in unison while we battle in the real life squid games that are living in America.

Let me emphasize: Elon Musk has not been confirmed by Congress. His “department” was never actually enacted. No one other than Trump has given him any authority.

Democrats and any Republicans with a spine need to step in and stop this madness.

I feel like all the fun will be had in their section

They want as many fools as possible to view trans folks as inhuman.

It's stochastic terrorism.

It's that simple.

My bad.

Over on the other site Elon Musk said that DOGE stopped $50M of condoms from being delivered to Gaza which Trump the repeated several times but it turns out that was the number for all contraceptive support from USAID everywhere on Earth, of which none went to Palestinians.

The FAA is facing a major crisis without a leader because Elon Musk pushed him out FAA chief Michael Whitaker resigned earlier this month after facing criticism from Musk.

We did not have a FAA administrator to respond to the tragic crash last night in DC. Why? Because Elon Musk pushed the head appointed under Biden to resign after he fined SpaceX for failing to follow safety license requirements. www.theverge.com/news/603113/...

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

Keep your eye on the big picture 5 ways Trump is concentrating power in his own hands, thereby replacing democracy with oligarchy

Trump is trying to “flood the zone” so we focus on a few outrages that we find most offensive and lose sight of the big picture.

I love #PenzeysSpices! If you haven't heard of them I'd highly recommend everything about it. Their efforts to spread love and fight injustice and inequality is honestly so touching.

I feel like not everyone saw Black Mirror as a warning and saw it as inspiration. Tech bros and billionaires said “great idea” and ran.
