Trump revoked Biden's executive order cracking down on anti-competitive corporate practices.

This gives Big Tech, Ag, Pharma, and airline monopolies even more power to price-gouge and rip you off.

CEOs have been kissing Trump's ring — look at what they're getting in return.

@josemonkey.com … just curious, you have a beach week and a Canada week. Do you get enough videos from any of the parks systems to do a parks week? (State/national/international)

Any politician who has never flown on the world’s most famous pedophile’s jet should call for a bipartisan committee to investigate — and then release — the Epstein files.

What a way to reach across the aisle.

Your Prime Day reminder that half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food & housing costs.

A third have had to rely on government assistance like SNAP — which is about to get cut.

If Bezos can spend $50M on a wedding, Amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity.

For anyone who is elected to represent US citizens:

Doing what is right is more important than keeping your job.

If you can’t do what is right, you don’t deserve to keep your job!

The president needs to be impeached and removed ASAP! He has violated the constitution too many times.

🚨🚨The White House is pissed off about this ad so you know what to do, share it everywhere! ICE is disappearing people just because of the color of their skin! No Warrant! No Due Process! This is not who we are as Americans! #MAGAKidnappers want an all white America, fuck that‼️

Juneteenth calls us to understand the realities of our past, celebrate the resilience and achievements of Black Americans, and align the course of our country toward its founding creed of liberty and justice for all. Wishing everyone a meaningful Juneteenth!

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022.

That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations.

So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

Instead of using this money to fund, say, the National Weather Service right before hurricane season, they're using it to send Marines to Los Angeles.

THIS is waste and abuse.

You can't call immigrants lazy moochers looking for government handouts and then round them up at Home Depots where you know they are looking for work.

You can't say immigrants don't follow the rules and then round them up in courthouses where they are following the rules.

Get your lies straight.

This...is...not...honest.

This pic is from five years ago and not even in Los Angeles. Immoral opportunists like James Woods and Ted Cruz trade on lies to promote other lies.

Healthcare for seniors is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse.

Food for hungry kids is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse.

A $45 military parade for a draft dodging felon *is* waste, fraud, and abuse.

Paying the National Guard to attack US citizens *is* waste, fraud, and abuse.

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple.

Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

According to AP, the typical pay package for S&P 500 CEOs rose to $17M last year — an increase of 9.7%.

At half of the companies surveyed, it would take the median worker 192 years to make what the CEO did in one year. 

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

My wife got Wes Craven and Wes Anderson confused.

Got me thinking that I’d love to see that collaboration.

Not sure which way would be better: a Wes Craven movie done in the style of Wes Anderson, or a Wes Anderson movie done in the style of Wes Craven.

What are your thoughts?

@josemonkey.com here is the third one I mentioned. No parking lot, but there are palm trees.

This one is possibly the easiest of the three. I think the other two may be close to impossible.

I don’t have a lot to say about this one. Just the hood of an old Ford pickup that was parked on my street.

A Frisco Ale left on one of the many bars in Bodie, CA. An awesome state park. I highly recommend visiting when you can.

Let me know if you know which bar this is.
