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?
These folks are so good at playing in our collective faces.
I haven’t seen the clip yet but being lucky enough to work with folks with Tourette’s, there are some behavioral interventions that could be helpful. Say…he donates 70% of his total wealth right now to a Civil Rights group? Living off 30% could be very compelling to use his CBIT.
The FBI Director, everyone. You paid for it.
100%. Until we process our trauma, our shame, our guilt, we’re screwed.
28.49.% APR on a credit card I’ve had for over a decade. And I have a terrific credit score.
Middle class my ass.
Vote wisely.
Texans: After nearly three decades in charge, “we can fix it” sounds like a confession.
A graphic in pink, blue, and green that illustrates how recent many Black History events are to the current day -- ranging from 1619 to 2024.
I'm sure we've all seen the graphic that lays out the United States ' relationship with slavery. It's good, but I never thought it was quite impactful enough. So I made my own.

1 square = 1 year.

Police don’t wear masks. State troopers don’t wear masks. The National Guard doesn’t wear masks. But you know who does?
White supremacists, militia groups, insurrectionists, and ICE.
Brilliant thread. We get stuck in our egocentric framework and forget that there are other possibilities. I love Star Trek. I love this thread. Hugs!
With all restrictive politics flying around lately, it made me wonder…when will we tighten up truth-in-advertising laws?
Arlington Cowboys?
Arlington Rangers?
Soon-to-be Plano Stars?
If the SAVE Act can be used to “ensure the truth”, surly we do the same with billionaires…right?
Argh.
Medicare For All won’t work (unless we change the Constitution.)
HSA’s for All is a much better approach.

It’s odd that the religious right is so upset about a halftime show that celebrated marriage, love, community, small business, hard work, and family. 🤔
Holy moley; I didn’t even catch it. Another entry for my “Bear Witness” file.
The only thing missing from Bad Bunny’s Superbowl halftime show? A check for $30 billion to overhaul OUR electricity grid in Puerto Rico.
Well done, Benito!
Welp… #blesshisheart
This is…a lot.
Kamala Harris warned everyone.
Hillary Clinton warned everyone.
I’ll never regret voting for them.
Thanks for your work!
😂
Yeah, I dont understand rose-flavored things either. Like…why eat perfume?
Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."
VP Harris LITERALLY told us this would happen.
I’m beside myself.
But I refuse to be reactive.
There’s a procedure for situations like this.
C’mon Americans. Get your shit together.
After Tamyra Gray and Brokeback Mountain, Sinners better win in all 24 categories or I may never go to the movies again.
Flu sucks.
Don’t die.
Seriously y’all…it puts a crimp in you getting therapy. Lol.
