The president of the United States posted a video of him defecating on the American people. Many in my profession normalized it. This is a big reason why we are where we are.

Always keep your cameras rolling. Federal officials are scheduled to appear in court today, where they’ll face questions over whether the government breached a prior order by deploying tear gas during immigration enforcement operations in the Chicago area.

I'm sitting here looking through my immigration folder in my email which contains literally everything involving the process from first contacting the lawyer up until our case was closed.

My God, I went through a lot of traumatic shit in the last 8 months.

Like a lot of Very Traumatic shit.

"The Israeli Premier League derby between Maccabi Tel Aviv and Hapoel Tel Aviv was cancelled by police after "violent riots" before kick-off."

There are MANY politicians who owe West Midlands police a profound apology.

List/tag them. 👇

The 100 lowest-paying US corporations spent $644B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024.

Buybacks artificially boost share prices and inflate CEO pay.

The typical worker at these companies earned $35k last year.

Meanwhile, the average CEO was paid $17.2M

See the problem?
