This is brutal, and Amazon is making *$86 BILLION* this year — with $20 billion of that in profit. This may well be the first domino that reveals what so many already know, which is that everyone but the wealthy are already in a recession. www.reuters.com/business/wor...

I’m no lawyer but this doesn’t sound legal.

I've volunteered for Habitat for Humanity. The idea that people who go so much to those less fortunate would be considered criminals is appalling. I don't care what side of the political spectrum you are on, this is just wrong. newrepublic.com/post/192660/...

I sense that something else is behind Trump's stance against Canada. What am I missing? It can't be illegal immigrants or the small amount of fetanyl going across the border.

They are also good at blaming the MSM for not telling them when in fact the MSM did — it’s just they didn’t read.

Musk states "the fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy". Charles Darwin, who actually researched this stuff, showed it was empathy, specifically, that enabled humanity to flourish.

NEW: The Epstein files: What is public, and what is still secret? www.miamiherald.com/news/politic...

The Attorney General of the United States just confirmed she is part of the disinformation war, Please read real journalists for real information. For Epstein-related matters, I recommend Julie K. Brown. She was the one who blew the Epstein case open in Nov 2018 @jkbjournalist.bsky.social

New: Experts fear Trump administration using Epstein case -- and his victims -- for political purposes. www.miamiherald.com/news/politic...

It's interesting to note that Pam Bondi was Florida's attorney general 2011-2109 -- a period of time when the Jeffrey Epstein's plane records became public, lawsuits were filed and a lot of new evidence against Epstein surfaced.

So Marty Baron says it plain: “It was only weeks ago that The Post described itself as providing coverage for ‘all of America,’” Baron wrote in his statement. “Now its opinion pages will be open to only some of America, those who think exactly as he does.” www.thedailybeast.com//ex-wapo-edi...

It's only a matter of time when the news division receives the same edict. It may not be this direct, but it will impact what stories are covered, what stories are buried, what investigative projects will be shelved -- or not investigated at all. It's a sad day for American journalism.

You cannot determine whether you saved or cost money based solely on one side of the ledger. Example: I saved my household $2K by not paying the mortgage.

Trying this again. Got frustrated with @bluesky algorithms, inability to correct, inability to find people I followed before, inability to do video, etc etc etc....back to see whether it's improved -- and also tired of the ignorant bots on the other platform.

A coalition of news organizations said in a court filing that video exhibits from a Jan. 6 riot case had "disappeared" from a government platform that provided access to evidence used in court.

i am going to put a finer point on this: executive orders are not laws. and they certainly are not royal decrees. they are interpretations of existing law for the purposes of enforcement. the fact that so many people are treating them as laws is actually driving me a bit insane.
