Meta just paid the lowest effective federal tax rate in its history.

Thanks to tax breaks and loopholes, it avoided $13.7B in 2025 federal income taxes.

But now it's planning to lay off 10% of its global workforce (8,000 people) by May 20 — with more job cuts later this year.

Trickle down hoax.

Good. God.

For all those suffering in Iran, China, English and American prisons, Gaza, Sudan, Ukraine, and every unnamed place, where people endure what no human should ever encounter. For the grieving, pained, exhausted, displaced millions, and the afraid. May cruelty be extinguished. May all choose humanity.

Screenshot of a CBS News tweet reporting that financial experts are concerned about possible insider trading after a spike in oil futures trading shortly before Trump announced talks with Iran. The embedded image shows a female news anchor speaking on a program titled “The Takeout,” with a news ticker about oil traders betting ahead of Trump’s delay in attacks on Iranian energy infrastructure.

Trump defanged all the regulators and fired all the inspectors so his cronies could loot the country.

Meta and YouTube found negligent in landmark social media addiction case It’s the first of several bellwether cases to test such claims.

Wow - huge win across the board for plaintiff Kaley G.M. in the landmark social media addiction case against Meta and YouTube. On the heels of Meta's loss in New Mexico just the day before. www.theverge.com/policy/90065...

The US government just banned consumer routers made outside the US You can keep using your existing router.

Since the vast majority — if not all — consumer routers are manufactured outside the United States, the vast majority of future consumer routers are now banned.

Some positive political news: UK Bill to end two-child limit has passed through the House of Lords, meaning it will become law very soon.

The so called 'rape clause' was morally repugnant from the Tory Party, and has reportedly been responsible for driving child poverty to its current record high.

Susie Wiles is wearing an Apple Watch during a highly classified meeting on Iran.

Unreal.

Okay I feel like this is going to come up a lot in the next 24 hours so let's just clear this up:

Ayatollah Khameini, the Iranian supreme leader allegedly killed today, is/was *not* the same person as Ayatollah Khomeini, the supreme leader who came to power in the 1979 revolution.

Here’s the latest.

'U.S.-Israeli attacks on Iran had killed Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the nation’s supreme leader for almost 37 years and an implacable enemy of Israel and the United States, in a potentially seismic political shift in Tehran and the broader region.'

bad look, says little for his suitability for elected office, being a poor, snipey loser.

One of the first rules or reality checks - re deciding to put self forward into frontline politics - is: if can't take heat (of losing as well as the highs of winning) don't go in the kitchen or get out.

Making work and housing less secure is bowing down to vested interests not taking them on.

Only Labour can defeat Reform and their anti worker, anti renter policies in Gorton and Denton.
