Remember—Billionaire philanthropy is PR
$6.25B is a lot of money. It’s also only 4.1% of the $152B Michael Dell has hoarded. If Dell paid the 37% tax rate on the wealthy he'd pay $56.25B—and still have nearly $100B, more than he'd ever need

At the same time the NY Times was hyping Hillary Clinton's emails, it had a reporter with emails from Jeffrey Epstein that were highly damaging to Trump.
The more NYT apologists try to minimize this the clearer it becomes that they don't understand why much of the public doesn't trust legacy media.

Folks, you can't report the United States to its manager. There's no superhero coming to save us.
We don't need one giant act of heroism. We need millions of small acts of solidarity. Help one person in your community for nothing in return. Then, do it again. And again.
That's the revolution.

Well, they’re going to have to charge quite a few of us.

Truly insane how aggressively they’re lying about this. Not stretching a truth. Not even lying in a way that’s connected to something. Just an out-of-thin-air completely made up fabrication from a government account.

In a nutshell...
Our government is being dismantled in a fast-moving coup because a bunch of ostensible adults are afraid of mean tweets from a spent 78 year old skin bag who wears Oompa Loompa makeup.

I wonder how much Dr. Phil paid for this front row seat to misery. I wonder how much therapy it would take for him to realize how supremely fucked you have to be to seek this out.
Relatedly, "Dr. Phil is embedded ... for ICE operation" is a sign of civilizational decline.

My dad was tortured by the Gestapo for 4 days and thrown in a concentration camp for being in the Norwegian Resistance. Growing up, he would tell me things he learned in the Resistance. I thought, I'm never going to need this stuff. Here's some of those things #Thread

Today in Milan, a student activist group hung a trash-filled effigy of Musk upside down on a gate outside of piazzale Loreto, where Mussolini's body was displayed in 1945.
They left the message: "C'è sempre posto a piazzale Loreto, Elon" (There's always room in piazzale Loreto, Elon)
