Lol. Great point. He has it down to a pathological art.

Worth remembering…

Still awaiting my George $oros payment for showing up at #NoKINGS_Day & staying until noon.

Somebody slipped this 20 under my door, but something about it seems fake.

The Volunteers Taking on ICE

Karoline Leavitt officially announced the "Launch of a large-scale investigation to find the people behind 'No Kings.'"

I've saved her some time.

Yes! An informed populace is dangerous to authoritarianism.

Why do we think they are banning books, lie like it is their Oxygen on life support, and push Fox/OAN/the pillow network?

Libraries, and switched on librarians, are to be valued, and protected.

The president had a MRI but won't say why.

He had bruises on his hands but wouldn't say why.

He just had an 'annual medical' even though he already had his annual medical.

He got shot in the ear but has never released the medical records relating to it.

How is any of this ok?

Lights are on but nobody is home.
We have a broken Roomba for President.

💯 this. My $$$ might be an infinitesimal fraction of a drop in a ginormous bucket, but it's still my money and I won't knowingly give it to them.

Same vein - make sure that Secret Santa is either a donation to a cause (loved the year I gave a "bucket of poo") or a useful buy from a recycling/charity shop.

Love is shown by being thoughtful, not expense.

I'm 100% with you on business grudges.

Showing my age, but I stopped using French fragrance for what felt like a long time, until they stopped their nuclear testing in the Pacific. Thus started my life of 'my $$$ might be small, but I'm still not giving them to you and rewarding that behaviour'.

YouTube video by Justin Wolfers Justin Wolfers Delivers the 2025 Boyer Lecture: Australia is Freaking Amazing

I was just in Australia giving the Boyer Lecture. It's an economist's love letter to his home country. It's also relevant to the current American moment, as the main point is to link institutions with prosperity.

Brilliant!

We are all thinking it. 😉

Generic? You are too kind by half. Try tacky. Classless. Nauseating.

Kinda like the Oval Office by Temu.

I choose to give it time, and sadly, increasing outrage.

He's made megabucks out of real estate speculation.

As for the pink house? I really didn't surprise me. 🤷🏻‍♀️ What did was the fact that the gardens were designed by the fellow who worked on Mrs Kennedy's Rose Garden at the White House. How could you stand by and applaud the fool who pulled THAT out?!

Quite right.

Socialism is actually government subsidizing big business so they can screw over workers...

Imagine if he hadn't curbed his enthusiasm? Lol.

That music is chef's kiss. ,🤣🤣

John Ravenel House - Wikipedia

He's been too busy selling the most expensive pink house in Charleston SC to sell his soy bean farm...we need to cut this poor, suffering farmer a break. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 (Ok, not poor)

Soy bean farmer? He wouldn't know a tractor from a Louis Vuitton travelling wardrobe.

Exactly! Disney showed that their Achille's Heel is $$$$.

$$$ hit them where it hurts, and can effect change.

Thank you.

From little things, big things grow.

They are counting on people feeling overwhelmed and rolling over.

If you can get a copy, read Timothy Snyder's "On Tyranny" (and ignore the fact that Dr Snyder fled to Canada mid last year 😉).

1. Don't send a dime Amazon's way. Bezos gets his power in money.
2. Vote government that will tax the rich appropriately.
3. Support No Kings protest - did you?
4. Don't lazily sit on your a** and let authoritarianism be perpetrated on you.

I'm running out of space. There's a start for you.

‘Lack of respect’: outcry over Amazon employee’s death on warehouse floor Work carried on as usual in the facility as workers were not informed of colleague’s death even as the body lay on the floor

Nope. Not kidding...

⬆️⬆️⬆️ THIS - a million times this! ⬆️⬆️⬆️

You think they would spend millions advertising how good Amazon working conditions are if they weren't spinning? 🤣🤣🤣

Anyone who gives their money to Amazon supports evil that eviscerates employee rights, and even made them work around a corpse.

a poster that says protesting is not a disturbance to the peace and corruption and intimidation is Alt: Two doves fly holding a megaphone aloft on a poster that says "protesting is not a disturbance to the peace. Corruption and intimidation is."

Ignoring is too passive, sorry. They have pushed us waaaay beyond passive.

These times call for more proactive measures - just keep them peaceful to try and avoid being arrested by the goons.

It has been dead for me since he first started trampling employee rights. (My eternal shame's that I helped build the business buying books in the early days)

Haven't knowingly sent a penny Amazon's way since they made warehouse workers keep working around a corpse.

Interesting thinking. The power needs to be removed from the sociopaths - and in their minds' power is $$$$.

As far as Bezos is concerned? Anyone who doesn't want to be complicit not only cancels WAPO subscriptions.

SEVER ALL TIES WITH AMAZON - IT IS THE EVIL EMPIRE THAT EMPOWERED THIS MONSTER.
