Netflix Backs Out of Bid for Warner Bros., Paving Way for an Ellison Takeover

The richest man owns X.

The second and third richest men control Google.

The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.

Neal Katyal: "In America, the chief justice said only Congress can impose taxes on the American people, and that's what tariffs are. Tariffs are taxes."

This is a crime.

If you read the Board of Peace charter, you understand it has nothing to do with the American government; it's a private entity Trump created for his own enrichment.

This is an impeachable offense, and if this country were not broken he would be gone by tomorrow.

Thanks, Linda!

Same on all fronts!

I’ve gone on a “liking” binge because you haven’t been showing up in my feed. Still trying to figure out this new realm over here.

This is a hostile takeover of slash and burn! What is the PLAN to fight this?!

Respect! 🙏

Let’s be specific:
Trump/Musk want to rob everyone and take over the planet. Many, many Americans oppose

Thank you! 🩷

Looking forward to spring with a golden bee tea bowl/sipper. 🌸 🐝 🍃

Each day is more demoralizing than the last.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Excellent idea!
