Here is a 2018 conversation between Jeff Bezos and German publisher Matthias Döpfner at a Business Insider event. Presumably, he is as crimson as a Washington State cherry today:

Let me translate two things this libertarian light nincompoop is saying: Personal liberties means doing whatever the fuck I want. Free markets means doing whatever the fuck I want. He’s an adult toddler.

A photo with text describing Phase 1 of the General Strike. This phase is all about building a connected groundswell of people who are committed to The General Strike. We are reaching out to organizations and influential individuals who are already taking action (such as planning strikes or boycotts; providing homeless services or advocating for healthcare reform) and plugging them into The General Strike network. We are building an organizational structure with the capacity to explode into independent and interconnected regional chapters, and laying the groundwork for exponential growth.

Picture describing Phase 2 of the General Strike. With a powerful, diverse base of 6M signed strike cards we will be well on our way to meeting our final goal of 11M strikers. Now it'll be time to bring our demands into focus, and to map out what Strike Days) will really look like. Organizing and outreach efforts will continue as normal, and a series of Strike Day meetings will commence. The goal of these meetings will be to draft a limited list of highly specific demands to specific controlling entities, to pick a strike date(s), and to plan the events of Strike Days). Emphasis will be on having many voices heard and building consensus, using modern crowdsourcing technology to uplift all voices. Specific demands will come from the leaders and experts of our various existing fights for racial, economic, gender and environmental justice that have the on the ground experience in their unique areas.

Picture describing Phase 3 of the General Strike. As we near our critical goal of 11M strikers we will finalize our demands and prepare for Strike Day. Accumulated strike funds and partners in mutual aid will help distribute support to all registered strikers as needed, and Strike Day events will be in their final planning stages. A team of legal aids will formulate the official language for the strike, and communications specialist will hone in on messaging. If employees so choose, strike notices will be distributed to employers per their request, with a legal framework outlining their right to strike and constitutional protections against retaliation. Now all that's left to do is STRIKE!

What is the 3.5% rule. THE 3.5% RULE REFERS TO THE IDEA THAT NONVIOLENT MOVEMENTS CAN ACHIEVE SIGNIFICANT SOCIAL OR POLITICAL CHANGE WHEN JUST 3.5% OF THE POPULATION ACTIVELY PARTICIPATES. THIS CONCEPT IS BASED ON RESEARCH BY POLITICAL SCIENTIST ERICA CHENOWETH, WHO STUDIED HUNDREDS OF SOCIAL AND POLITICAL MOVEMENTS AND FOUND THAT NO NONVIOLENT MOVEMENT THAT REACHED AT LEAST 3.5% PARTICIPATION EVER FAILED TO ACHIEVE ITS GOALS.

You have questions. We get it. Here’s some information on the structure of this movement, WHY we need a General Strike, and WHY we need 3.5% of the population to commit.

Trump administration wants to un-fire some nuclear safety workers but can’t figure out how to reach them The individuals, who work in an agency that oversees the nation's nuclear stockpile, had been fired on Thursday and lost access to their federal government email accounts.

When real world headlines read like The Onion…

Making sure everyone understands: Afrikaners—Elon Musk’s people—built, enforced, and thrived under the apartheid system they created. Not just “white-ruled segregation”—it was systemic racial oppression to keep the white minority in power.

They don’t deserve refugee status—they were the oppressors!

Holy shit this cartoon.

The real scam: making you fear the “the other” while the rich rob you blind. I wish every American understood this.

I have think so. Is that good or bad?

Opinion | Don’t Believe Him Look closely at the first two weeks of Donald Trump’s second term and you’ll see something very different than what he wants you to see.

Total coincidence that the NYT, NPR, and NBC are all being forced out of the Pentagon and replaced with right-wing outlets. I’m sure those names were just picked out of a hat randomly!

We miss you Pete. This is leadership.

About the presidency, Harry Truman famously said “the buck stops here.” Trump is trying to pass the buck and blame everybody but his administration for the DC plane crash. This is a time for consoling the families and investigating the cause of this tragedy, not shameful finger pointing.

The man is so horrible I’ve run out of words. No empathy, no realization that as the Commander in Chief he should be accepting responsibility and not placing blame, no compassion.

President Blames D.E.I. and Biden for Crash Under Trump’s Watch President Trump’s remarks, suggesting without evidence that diversity in hiring and other Biden administration policies somehow caused the disaster, reflected his instinct to immediately frame major e...

It’s not totally intuitive. They need some of your creativity!

The goal is to maximize pain and cruelty.

It will mature, right?

Good idea. See you there, I hope.
