The world if we taxed billionaires out of existence.
Billionaires have no right to exist. They are parasites on the rest of society.
Agreed. Hope everyone boycotts Musk and Tesla. They may have been granted the license (despite more than 18,000 letters being sent objecting to it), but it doesn’t mean people need to sign up to them being their energy provider.

Djokovic and Draper serving up probably the most insane point you're likely to see.
The U.S. will permanently close its consulate in Peshawar, Pakistan, the closest American diplomatic mission to Afghanistan.
🇭🇺❗️🇺🇦 The Hungarian authorities have agreed to return two seized collection vehicles to Oschadbank, but are leaving the money and gold they were transporting confiscated, two sources told EP.
The big decision to release oil reserves yesterday has had little effect. Price per barrel soared above $100. It’s now hovering in the high 90s. Traders are expecting Trump and Netanyahu’s war to be prolonged.
Until such time as these corrections are as prominent as the original lies this problem will continue
Corrections should be published in exactly the same place as the original story. And if doesn’t fill the same space, leave the space around it blank to highlight it.
We’ve never, ever had this before. A President completely untethered to truth. I mean completely untethered to truth. That’s such a bad thing. But you know what’s even worse? Way, way too many people don’t care. And way too much of the media no longer cares.
Agreed on Ukraine and other news—following sources directly is useful.
On the trending thing, I’m just sincerely disenchanted; looking at the list it appears that while genocide is happening, what people really want to talk about is reality TV and idiotic staged wrestling.
Netanyahu would welcome regime change, but main goal is to deliver as much death and destruction to enemy populations as possible with US, and rest of world, paying the bills. Trump missed chance for an early declaration of victory, now has to hope something turns up.
A foreign hacker compromised files relating to the FBI’s investigation of the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein during a break-in at the bureau in 2023, according to a source and published Justice Department documents.
Bluesky hits Capitol Hill (and Jimmy Kimmel)
Yes, this is what I mean. It’s like people are getting inured to it.
True. Upset & appalled that it seems to barely be getting noticed now. Wish people would at least acknowledge it’s happening & condemn it alongside all the other atrocities. Given all that’s going on, I look at the tending topics and can’t help but think, ‘seriously, WTF is wrong with this world?’
Apparently they also struck a camp of displaced Palestinians just west of Gaza City a few hours ago. Haven’t been able to find much about it, but AP News has a bit, including a video, here: apnews.com/live/iran-wa...
An Israeli drone strike targeted a tent camp housing displaced civilians in Ramlet Al Baida, Beirut.
At least 7 people were killed and 21 others were injured. The death toll will likely continue to rise.
*This is getting buried in all the other news*
A few hours ago Israel struck a camp for displaced Palestinians. Apparently Israeli military called people in the camp, gave them 5min notice to evacuate, then bombed their tents.

Spiralling Heating Oil Costs

Aww she’s such a sweetheart! 💕 It rubbish you’re sick, but it’s nice you’ve got little companions to keep you company and take care of you. Hope you’re feeling better soon! 🌷
Looks like Trump pocketed the $63 million in settlement money that was intended for his presidential library.

A group of us in the Senate are demanding public hearings on Trump's disastrous war with Iran with Secretary Hegseth and Rubio. And we've introduced a half dozen war powers resolutions to force the Senate to vote every day on the war if the hearings don't happen.
