Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.
Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.
Four giants control 80% of meat processing.
A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.
The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

Every year for the past decade or so, I’ve posted a prayer of grief for
Trans Day of Remembrance.
This year? I just feel sad, tired, and angry. I want the scapegoating, hatred, and violence to stop….

The moment when 30 million American's received healthcare (2010) The moment when insurance companies had to start covering preexisting conditions, young adults could stay on their family's policy and I could trust that the small print couldn't screw me if I needed serious medical assistance. 🇺🇸

“Quiet, piggy.”
Whatever filters the man once had—and there were vanishingly few—they are all gone.
All I see is a senile old man in a home, abusing the staff who are just trying to take care of him because his children will no longer speak to him.

“Today we stand in a moment that will decide whether our government belongs to the American people, or to those who prey on them.”

That's more than 1,100 jobs lost at the CSIRO over the last two years.
"Combined, the staff association estimates that equates to cutting the agency’s size by a third."
This is more cuts to the CSIRO than was attempted by the Abbott government.

Killing 80 people without a trial seems like a mass murder. Trump and military leaders participating in these illegal attacks should be arrested immediately. Republican senators and Congress need to get this done.

I don't know why we still call them ICE and treat them as a legitimate organization. They are an armed Militia and should be designated as a terrorist group. No other legal force in America wears masks and strips people of due process. They are a terrorist organization

Them: “I’m sick of subsidizing their groceries when mine cost so much”
SNAP does not drive up grocery prices.
That would be inflation, tariffs & corporate greed.
For every $1 spent on SNAP there’s a $1.50 going back into the economy.
While you’re blaming the poor, the rich are robbing everyone.
