Once again, a single cartoon tells more truth that the entire US Congress.

Thanks to Rick McKee for making our current situation easy to understand.

A Warning About Media Consolidation as We Face Another Senseless War Trump and his allies are working to consolidate the media into the hands of right-wing oligarchs. This is especially dangerous in a time of war.

Paramount Skydance's acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery is a grave threat to democracy β€” especially in a time of war.

Paramount Skydance’s proposed acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery is a disaster that would endanger our democracy and give David and Larry Ellison β€” a MAGA-loving family of billionaires β€” even more control over what we see and hear.

Musk, worth $829 billion, owns X.

Bezos, worth $234 billion, owns The Washington Post & Twitch.

Zuckerberg, worth $231 billion, owns Facebook, Instagram & WhatsApp.

And now Larry Ellison, worth $202 billion, is about to control CNN, CBS, TikTok & HBO.

Yes, this is oligarchy.

Ending ageism doesn’t mean respecting older people full stop. It means not being biased b/c of someone’s age--anyone’s age, across the lifespan. I do hope you’ll be part of the movement to end that bias. Aging is the one thing we all have in common, which is kind of lovely imo.

Do Not Forget. The Goal is Control. Misogyny and sexism is the precursor to fascism and malignant dictatorship. 50% of the population is dismembered then racism, ageism, and all other bigotry falls into line ... We have to stop this.

Congress must pass the War Powers Resolution to restore oversight to congress and end this illegal war. Tell your congressperson to vote β€˜YES’; your voice matters, and time is of the essence.

Bernie Sander’s 2028 litmus test would strangle America’s golden goose

Surprise! The Jeff Bezos-owned Washington Post is against my 5% billionaire wealth tax. I wonder why?

If enacted, Bezos would owe $12 billion in taxes, and an average family of 4 would receive a $12,000 direct payment.

Poor Jeff would be left with just $224 billion to survive.

Deforestation isn't "just" clearing land.
It's erasing biodiversity hotspots, disrupting rainfall patterns via reduced transpiration, and releasing massive stored carbon.
One action equals triple planetary damage.
That's why it's ecocide. Protect the lungs of Earth. 🌍🌳

a full red moon is surrounded by bats in the dark ALT: a full red moon is surrounded by bats in the dark

The full moon is on March 3rd, and this one is a blood moon. The March full moon is usually known as the Worm Moon, but traditionally it's also called the Crow Moon, a name associated with the time of year when crows become louder and more active as winter begins to fade and early spring moves in.
