This looks so cool!!

9/9 Society should serve everyone, not just those who can afford to opt out.The future is still being written, & we must ensure it isn’t built for the few at the expense of the many.No more billionaire escape plans disguised as “progress.”No buying Greenland so Peter Thiel can set up a network state

8/9
The ultra-rich already rig the system in their favor. Now imagine if they had their own nations to do it on steroids. No laws, no accountability, just a playground for exploitation. They’re not disrupting anything—they’re cementing their control.

7/9
They don’t want to fix society. They want to escape it—leaving us with crumbling infrastructure, inequality, and chaos while they retreat behind encrypted walls. They exploit resources, then flee. We pay the price for their selfish ambition.

6/9
History warns us: unchecked power leads to collapse. Network States are modern feudalism—billionaires as kings, ruling over digital fiefdoms while the rest of us toil in a system they abandoned. Once they get what they want, we’re left with nothing.

5/9
With their own digital currency, they control everything—who can participate, who gets access, and who is locked out. Can’t afford to buy in? You’re erased. No wealth, no power, no future. This isn’t innovation—it’s economic segregation at scale.

4/9
Each Network State follows a “One Commandment.” Sounds noble? It’s absolute rule by a self-appointed elite. The founder sets the ideology, and if you don’t comply, you’re exiled. No representation, no say—just obedience to an unelected oligarchy.

3/9
By claiming diplomatic recognition, Network States legally stash wealth offshore—starving schools, hospitals, and roads while they live tax-free. They exploit the system and rewrite the rules, ensuring public infrastructure crumbles while they build their own self-serving empires.

2/9
This isn’t about freedom. It’s sovereignty for billionaires. They set the laws, create exclusionary borders, and deploy private security forces to keep out the “undesirables.” If you don’t fit their mold, you don’t get in. If you don’t obey, you get thrown out

1/9
Network States pitch themselves as digital utopias. The reality? Billionaire fiefdoms designed to dodge taxes, privatize resources, and hoard power—leaving the rest of us behind. These are not democracies but escape hatches for the ultra-rich. #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue

My doctor is getting stronger. I’m up to six apples a day and he just keeps inching closer

Everyone texting each other being like “you still employed?” is wild and totally F’ed up.

Just kidding. This is balls

Y'know, I was really anxious about how history seems to be repeating itself, but things are happening so sloppily that I'm not as freaked out? Maybe not yet. Idk!

I can’t beleive concert tickets are like 6X or more the price they were 10 years ago. A 100s section used to be one something. Now it’s 6 something or more. A floor seat was possible for 3 something. Now it’s automatically 4 digits.

I maxed out my credit card, emptied my savings account, and took out a loan to move from Alabama to Bethesda, MD. I don’t even qualify for unemployment since I’ve only worked at NIH for a month. I will be financially and medically devastated.

Seeking suggestions for anywhere that’s hiring!!

What's Plan B if #PubMed gets destroyed?
There's lots of US-defined-inappropriate words in its massive archive of articles. Would be a great way to inflict pain on science.

A gentle reminder to remind yourself of your worth. Your voice and your words matter. Your accomplishments cannot be erased. Yes, we are in the middle of a coup. You are loved and supported during these wacky times.

Happy Valentine's Day y'all! 💋

Creator of the environmental justice movement talks about his work and legacy in Houston In honor of Black History Month, ABC13 is highlighting one of the founding fathers of the environmental justice movement, who happens to be right here in Houston.

I've written 18 books that connect the dots on EJ using science, research, data & facts. Having science, research, data & facts is not enough to get transformative change. We must marry them to action. In late 1970s EJ was a footnote, today it's a headline. ABC13 Houston abc13.com/post/black-h...

It felt surreal reading that article. I have been wondering why Duo's icon looked different in the app store

I just watched a video of people dancing to the halftime show on a cruise ship, screaming “A MINOOOORRRRRRRRR” at the tops of their lungs, and one of the comments said, “Damn! Even at sea???” 😭😭😭😭
