The oligarchy wants full control of what we watch and read.

A tweet from Robert Reich states:
“The richest man on earth owns X.
The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.
The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.
See the problem here?”

😢 Betty Ford once said that "if the White House West Wing is the mind of the nation then the East Wing is the heart.”

Well, it's gone now, because we have a grotesque president who is sick in the mind, and was born without a heart.

To hell with him -- and soon, please.

Hopefully, Taco’s plane will crash since he’s in Malaysia, but in the meantime ICE Gestapo FYI. Would Taco have to fly where the Bermuda Triangle is at to get back to DC? #iceout

Gallego: "It's murder. It's very simple. If this president feels they are doing something illegally, then he should be using the Coast Guard. If this is an act of war, then you use our military and then you come and talk to us first. But this is murder ... it's disgusting."
