🚨Jeff Bezos' wedding last summer cost about $50M. That, alone, could have saved all 300 positions cut today at The Washington Post for a year. Actually, he could have ensured there were no staff cuts for the next decade and he'd still have net worth of 249B.
Thank you Lizzie Johnson.

Violence is hard to come by in Minnesota. But in this case 100% of the violence comes from verified outside agitators, most of them, it turns out, from Texas. They work for DHS, Trump's state security ministry, which targets US citizens who dislike Trump. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Why would you cut funding for programs serving the deaf and the blind while benefitting to the wealthiest 0.1%? If we look for comparable cases, we see that this is exactly what governments obsessed with eugenics always do. The deaf and blind are to disappear, not to be mainstreamed into society.

Climate change is without doubt the greatest threat to humanity. It’s not a future problem it’s a today problem. We’re already observing our planet warming at an ever increasing rate and that our weather is becoming more extreme, i.e more extreme droughts & more extreme flash flood events.
