The richest man owns X.
The second and third richest men control Google.
The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.
And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.
See the problem here?

I'm only linking this to point out the historical parallels, not fearmonger that we are in 1:1 the same situation with the same outcome, but ...
remember that while history might not always repeat, it always rhymes.
the GOP's intentions are clear, and their actions are even clearer.
The ICE surge in Minnesota cost $280M to detain 4k people. Of those- only 30 were accused of violent crimes.
$9 million per capture of the "worst of the worst".

So the United States will only use empty warehouses to house people it wants to terrorize, not people it wants to shelter from the cold.
We really are not a very good-natured country.
When she found out she was about to be ”gifted,” enslaved servant, #OnaJudge, made a dangerous escape from President Washington’s residence. The National Park Service has erased her story—and that of #slavery itself. Read Prof. Welbeck’s powerful essay: theconversation.com/martha-washi...
US Attorney General Pam Bondi with Louisiana Congressman Mike Johnson and Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt sitting on a stage talking. Eric Schmitt is wearing a navy suit with a white or light blue dress shirt, solid red tie, and black cowboy boots. His pants are very slim causing them to ride up high when he sits down and revealing a bit of leg betwen his pant hem and the tops of his cowboy boots.
come on
I'm pretty sure I know. They aren't. We're not going to really be able to make a lot of progress in dealing with the implications of this tech unless and until we get rid of all this "woo-woo" talk about LLMs. Anthropic pushing this line is PR, unserious.
Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."
ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.
If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...
George Washington Carver developed 300 derivative products from peanuts among them cheese, milk, coffee, flour, ink, dyes, plastics, wood stains, soap, linoleum, medicinal oils and cosmetics. #BlackHistoryMonth
On this day in 1948, an all-white jury sentenced a Black woman and two of her teenage sons to death for killing an armed white man in self-defense.
happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.
ICE is running a “conveyor belt” of illegally detained Minnesota families.
Agents are arresting entire families with legal status and immediately shipping them off to Texas to deny them legal representation and avoid the federal courts in Minnesota.
The cruelty is endless.
In this Ohio diner, the clap is what you do after every high school football game. But they do know this: it’s not surprising that a guy whose operating systems are always getting viruses contracted an STD from a prostitute.
A civilisation which throws out 13 million smartphones a day cannot be described as a civilisation. It is an infection that spreads mercilessly until it is consumed by its own waste.

This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here.

If you think we’re not going to end up suffering and disappearing into Trump’s gulag, you probably thought we wouldn’t end up jailed for reporting or murdered in the public streets for sassing back.
Incredible self own for the US. The damage being done to the US scientific enterprise is generational. We will look back on this as a tipping point where the US chose all on its own to stop leading the world in science.

Dems are gonna miss last week when they could've grabbed for "abolish ice" sorry now it is "imprison ice" keep up
Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."
AOC: "How rich is it that she is saying showing up to the scene of a protest with a legally owned weapon should be grounds for a person's death, execution at the hands of the state, by the same party and administration that praises Kyle Rittenhouse."
Apparently people are surprised that a man whose only friends on the world stage are a KGB agent & a North Korean Stalinist planned to unleash a murderous secret police on his population.
Looking back, there were signs.
they went to an emergency room seeking help for their 7 year old child.
ICE arrested the 7 year old and her parents.
the family is here legally.

The party of law and order literally just wrote themselves a memo that says they don't have to follow the 4th Amendment.
That's right, ICE intends to perform illegal search and seizures without a warrant.
Add that to the list with "we had to beat up the police on Jan 6 to defend our democracy".
A masked ICE officials with a 5 year old child
This guy went to work today, put a mask on, kidnapped a 5 year old child, and then used him as bait so both he and his father could be sent behind bars
On this day in 1834, Alabama expanded its laws prohibiting free Black people from settling in the state and authorized white enslavers to capture and sell free Black people into slavery.
Why should we take Donald Trump seriously? He lies all the time.
His policies are jacking up prices on everything from cars to food.
He’s more focused on being President of Venezuela than President of the United States.
