After January 6, 2021, Amazon, Microsoft, Google, and Comcast publicly pledged to stop donating to politicians who sought to undermine the legitimate results of the 2020 presidential election.

In 2025, these companies have stopped worrying about democracy and are buying Trump a ballroom.
These Corporations Stopped Worrying About Democracy and Bought Trump a Ballroom
It has been nearly five years since the 2020 presidential election, but President Trump continues to baselessly insist it was stolen.

In the first half of this year, the income of President Trump's family business soared 17-fold to $864 million, based almost entirely on new crypto ventures that have been a magnet for overseas cash, a Reuters investigation found.

“DHS now appears poised to become a primary amplifier of false election conspiracies pushed by our enemies,” one expert said.

The main enemy of Ukraine in the West is Trump.
Yet, Ukrainian-Americans are traditionally republicans & for that reason they support Trump, although they became republicans because the GOP supported Ukraine.
How dumb can you get?!

There's many powerful vested interests in the West that oppose Russia sanctions. Their standard talking point is that sanctions will spike oil prices. Last week's Rosneft and Lukoil sanctions by the US are - once again - proving that this is wrong. Oil prices are falling again...

“The boat strikes constitute murder,” Eugene R. Fidell told me. He used to be a JAG in the Coast Guard and is now at Yale Law School. The entire operation amounts to “treating the world as a free-fire zone,” he said.

I guess I said that! (Being articulate through my fingers is so much more reliably manageable than through my mouth, and I never really remember what I said.)

"People in the media are journalists, not psychologists. They’re used to covering facts, not fantasies. So they don’t know how to react when Donald Trump says or does something that’s mentally deranged," writes @markjacob.bsky.social for Stop the Presses.

I’m tired of watching hardworking folks beg for the basics while billionaires keep cashing in.

Being able to put food on your table should never be a luxury.

You can’t call yourself pro-life while letting families go hungry.

You can’t shout “America First” while putting Americans last.

All of these supposed failures by Democrats should more rightly be attributed to the remarkable success of right wing propagandists. They have gotten very good at what they do, and the Dems need to catch up and fight fire with fire in the narrative wars.

SNAP benefits are about to lapse because of the shutdown. Reminders:
1. About 1 in 2 children will receive SNAP benefits at some point and 1 in 4 children are receiving benefits in a given month.
2. Trump is already planning to cut SNAP in other ways.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

This is a good illustration of what’s happening tonight re ICE leadership purge. Posts and caption identify this dude as ICE, but his uniform says Border Patrol. A LOT of the most aggro stuff that has been casually attributed to ICE (esp in Chicago and LA, and in Portland in 2020) was actually CBP.
