Five corporations control 90% of the US media. Airlines have merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

Netanyahu and co are scoring another spectacular own goal with their Macklemore and NAZA reaction. They learned nothing from “No Other Land” Oscar run. The attention guarantees more 20 min standing ovations and awards for NAZA and everyone remembering Robert Kraft is in the Epstein files. hilarious

How dare she use Zionism to speak for me as a Jewish person. I believe in one united Palestine w/equal rights for all. That’s my Judaism. Her “Judaism” is a talking point to support apartheid. She’s using her “fears” for her own kids to argue for the slaughter of other people’s kids. A moral sewer.

One of my "favorite" dumb Musk things is his deeply held belief that other people aren't real. One of his first moves after taking over Twitter was to try to fire "ghost employees," of which he thought they were many. He's a murderous bigot but he also thinks Fake People are robbing him blind.

his excuse is they wouldn’t put the starving children on the phone with him.

Most moral army in the world.

Video shows Israeli soldiers forcing two siblings to sit on the ground with their hands behind their heads beside a military jeep, before blindfolding one of them and arresting both children during a raid on al-Mughayyir village in the occupied West Bank.

Such an indictment of the justice system that it took years of campaigning by the Innocence Project, Death Penalty Action and others; a documentary feature that became Hulu’s most popular; a John Oliver segment; Kim Kardashian speaking out; and the majority of TX state leg to stop her execution.

Not only is this an excellent event but another reason why I justify my collection of (hoarding of) physical books

Amazon will pay $20.5 million to settle allegations that two of its Oregon data centers helped contaminate groundwater. This is exactly why communities across the country are organizing to stop data centers — and winning. Never doubt your power to change the system.

The Alexamenos graffito is the earliest known depiction of a DOCTOR. A Roman soldier drew it to mock Alexamenos for his ridiculous belief in medicine. Inscription reads: “Alexamenos worships his doctor” #DrJesus

Pope calling for direct political action. UN Sec. Council in emergency session. Democrats…

BREAKING: Pope Leo XIV declares the Iran War is “unjust” and “is not resolving anything.” After suggesting Trump is committing war crimes by targeting civilian infrastructure, he called on Americans to contact Congress to help end the war.

A doc about Jewish women forced into slave labor is “DEI,” because of “gender bias.” And for some unknown reason people keep calling these guys “Nazis.”

404 Media@404media.co

A DOGE staffer assigned to the National Endowment for the Humanities to flag grants for "DEI" tries to explain what "DEI" is. This deposition is part of a lawsuit by the @acls1919.bsky.social, @historians.org and @modernlanguage.bsky.social.

After executing Alex Pretti on Saturday, ICE has shifted to primarily targeting bus stops and elementary schools in my community this week. I cannot overstate how much of the ICE activity in my community is just targeting places where little kids are.

Video from this morning shows ICE agents deploying tear gas outside a Minneapolis preschool as parents shout, “This is a preschool! There’s kids here!”

TOM HOMAN: “We’re going to create a database where those people that are arrested for interference, impeding and assault, we’re going to make them famous. We’re going to put their face on TV. We’re going to let their employers, in their neighborhoods, in their schools, know who these people are.”

NEW: Humanitarian officials staged a last-minute plea to Trump officials at their fancy hotel to re-start food aid $ for a huge refugee camp in Kenya. The Trumpers blew it off and babies starved. @annamaria.bsky.social & Brett Murphy www.propublica.org/article/keny...

“Others say empathy is central to Christianity,” has to be one of the great examples of both-sideism in journalistic history. “But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return…Be compassionate, just as your Father is compassionate to you.” — Anonymous Source

Can’t wait for Rogan and Musk to become exegesis experts explaining that the “Cast the first stone” parable was actually added to the Gospel of John. Who needs to learn Koine Greek when ya got Grok!

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

I’m happy they lost this round, but can’t escape feeling we didn’t fight as hard to stop the murder 20,000 children, needless death of 500,000, or the kidnapping and exile of our neighbors. www.impactcounter.com/dashboard

Mr. Free Speech who lost his shit in the regular when it was his side is only concerned with the optics here of the government threatening corporations and demanding censorship? Yes, Matt T is the spineless putz we all thought he was.

these people really love traitors. (@nbcnews.com ‘Protesting’ is holding a sign and chanting. Breaking through a window to unlock a door so you can kill elected reps and stop an election certification is called something else.)
