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.
Hoekstra and O’Leary. Garbage people,both of them.
Gretzky is a very close second
I am afraid to go to the hospital because I don't want to get SICKER.
It shouldn't have to be this way! Properly fitted n95 respirators are virtually perfect at blocking the transmission of Covid (and many other diseases).

This is true. No one wants to admit COVID still exists or ever existed. Quite incredible. Where are the huge conferences dedicated to COVID, like there still is for HIV?
I feel sorry for and am disgusted by women who refuse to see & actively perpetuate the harms of the patriarchy, and casually throw other women under the bus.
All men, even yours, enable all men. And obvs so do you. It’s beyond sad, it’s harmful in so many ways.
Sure, cherry pick a few women who have as much internalized misogyny as you and claim “all women!” while simultaneously saying “not all men”.
Exemplifying everything that is wrong with the world: protecting men & vilifying women.
You are refusing to see the harms patriarchy causes. It’s ridiculous to narrow it down to just rape. It’s exactly this kind of thinking that is the problem.
This is not a “both sides” issue and there is no comparison between the two. Stop promoting patriarchy. It’s toxic to the world.
Internalized misogyny. It’s a helluva drug.
Nazi tactics.
"Ms. Ross-Mahé, age 86, was greeted at the airport by her three adult children. She was still dressed in her prison wear — orange shoes, sweatpants and a gray sweater — covered in stains and holes...
"She was in a state of physical shock...

Someday, with luck and hard work, she will have a name too.
Read my words. Look around and do some critical thinking. Look at reality. Look at statistics. Look at the harms the patriarchy causes.
The idea that the majority of men are protective of women is pure fantasy.
As I said, it happens *everywhere*.
Toxic masculinity, internalized misogyny, protecting the patriarchy - it’s absolutely pervasive.
This didn’t happen in the US.
The problem that DV and family annihilation by men isn’t taken seriously happens everywhere.
Patriarchy is so ingrained and so damaging that my friend’s own family as well as his & all their friends even excuse what he did and leave her isolated.
For the first time in decades, consensus broke at the UN Commission on the Status of Women. The United States cast the lone “no” vote on a document aimed at improving justice systems for women and girls worldwide. Misogyny is the official policy of the US under Trump.
Stop promoting that trope. All men enable all men. All men support the patriarchy in a myriad of ways.
It’s all men.
I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.
My friend went to the police and social services many times about her abusive ex. They did nothing. He ended up killing their 8 yr old child then took his own life after 5 days of stalking her trying to kill her too.
Believe women.
Interior of the Bombardier's Challenger 650 jet (model bought by taxpayers for FORD). Image from CBC article (https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/doug-ford-private-jet-9.7167824) that got image from Bombardier site.
Do you think Ford needs a 28.9M jet? (& needs jets at Toronto Isl airport?)
Are you okay with him hiding embarrassing, or worse, info by changing FOI rules?
Are you okay with Ford appointing vs you electing regional chairs? Ford criticizing judges?
If not, call Ford 416 325-1941 (I just did).
$75 million: Amount Amazon spent to acquire & promote Melania
$75 million: Cost of the 246-foot yacht Jeff Bezos bought to follow his 417-foot yacht
$100 million: 2025 loss by Bezos' Washington Post, which recently cut 40-plus percent of its staff
The numbers our AI overlords don’t want you to see.
Money for private jets but not for health care
Doug Ford is in the process of curtailing any ability to find out more through FOIs about his jet-buying decision and purchase.

We need leaders not in love with money but in love with justice. Not in love with publicity but in love with humanity. Leaders who can subject their particular egos to the pressing urgencies of the great cause of freedom … a time like this demands great leaders.

So many of us who advocated for N95s were told to avoid COVID by hand washing.
This apology doesn’t rectify the ongoing problem; the general population still thinks COVID isn’t airborne and even our hospitals aren’t instituting masking to protect our most vulnerable patients.

Heartbreaking description of the pointless, thoughtless damage being done to the Kennedy Center. It was such an important part of life in Washington, and is now being destroyed for no reason

Emulating his hero Trump. Wake up Ontario
It's STILL a pandemic (WHO has not ended it). Also, COVID is NOT a respiratory virus - it is AIRBORNE virus. Two different things.
TBC, COVID is vaccine-reduceable NOT preventable. VE against hosp '24-'25 was only ~44% (NACI). Tired of this dishonesty. #MaskUP FFS!
