Mena Makes Hot Takes

“Look at this turnout — there’s far more power in this room than there is with 1 or 2 billionaires.”

@khanna.house.gov & @sanders.senate.gov talk to a packed house at Stanford about A.I. & data centers, consolidation of wealth and power, and the power young people have to make change.

Wrong, we pay for this war. 2 billion already.

Why are people still on that site? You make him money

Heyyy. Weird dog human paintings. I’m in

Sure seems suspicious.

Toxic Gaslighting: How 3M Executives Convinced a Scientist the Forever Chemicals She Found in Human Blood Were Safe Decades ago, Kris Hansen showed 3M that its PFAS chemicals were in people’s bodies. Her bosses halted her work. As the EPA now forces the removal of the chemicals from drinking water, she wrestles wit...

A horror story of greed, corporate deception and corruption, as well as failure of governments to hold the company to account for the toxins.

This is so crazy and dangerous. We live in the bad place.

I have no idea what you mean. It’s nothing like 2020. Musk sent out partially prefilled mail-in ballots to voters. Yes, that’s illegal, so no it’s not like 2020. 2020 claims didn’t have anything like this.

Elon Musk-founded PAC reprimanded by Georgia State Election Board for sending pre-filled absentee ballot applications in 2024 Counties that flagged the issue and were mentioned in the case included Chattooga, Cherokee, Coweta, Floyd and Whitfield.

Except THIS actually happened. Georgia State Election Board sent his PC a strongly worded letter.

This building sold in 10/24 to a Russian oligarch, Andrei Sharkov, connected to Putin’s inner circle. It sold for $26 million. In early Feb, DHS bought it for $130 million. Closed in four days. $ 100 million over price. Sure was fortunate Sharkov bought this and 47 won. Prescient actually.

Of course there was.

Have you seen this?

I’m oddly enthralled with Kentucky. Both Massie and Paul are from this state. In strange ways more for the people than most of the conservative states.

Howard Lutnick, standing there like a statue. “Maybe if I don’t move a muscle I won’t be remembered as a traitorous lapdog. Maybe they won’t remember I’m beneficial to the tariffs both ways. That my sons took out short positions like loan sharks. Oops. Fuck. Too late.”

I’m pretty sure we all did, and this is purgatory.

There just aren’t words for how I detest this disgusting human.

I love this. Rewatching Battlestar Galactica and need someone to agree that Edward James Olmos is indeed the best boss in an emergency.

"I don't see any reason why we can't do what we did with opiates... with tobacco. We need to regulate Big Tech," @profgalloway.com tells @timmiller.bsky.social. "All the problems you're talking about are fixable, and the illusion of complexity is what Big Tech wants you to be overrun with."

I mean Bovino is taking orders from Lewandowski

It’s painful. Those tacos are painfully bad.

Did you not enjoy your badly flavored ground beef, a sprinkle of tomato, and wilted lettuce rip’n in a Cool Ranch crunchy shell?

Tucson had an amazing voucher program BEFORE they did that to the whole state.

WATCH: “IT’S A SMASH & GRAB JOB.”

Sen. @jeffyarbro.bsky.social says @GovBillLee’s vouchers are a redistribution of wealth from TN taxpayers to wealthy families with kids already in private schools

Lee wants to double the program while the public schools don’t even keep up with inflation🤔

Watching Cross and It’s what we all know needs to be done to Epstein and his circle. Enjoy! I’m only on episode 2 though…I think they usually catch the antagonist. :(

Rep. @reprashida.govpeeps.us : “A whistle and a cell phone — that’s all our residents are using to protect themselves in the streets… they’re making money off our babies being imprisoned.”

(H/T @oversightdemocrats.bsky.social )

It would make sense to have many, many people go to jail. Maybe one of these jails they have created for immigration reform or CECOT.

During these dark times …

Thank God for the arts …
