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.
This is a war based on lies
Back to the simple natural order of things…….. not human arrogance based on destruction of our water,air, environment for profit…… for the 1%
Yes. This is it, in a nutshell.
Do not be distracted.
Do not be exhausted.
Pay attention and do not give in.

Before they were arrested- Vets are demanding an end to the war on Iran at the Cannon Building in Washington, D.C.
This really is the only way to get rid of the stench and stain on our country's government.
Trump has threatened to use the U.S. military to carry out acts of genocide against the Iranian people.
Make no mistake: those that voted NO to the War Powers Resolution are actively endorsing that threat.
Congress must exercise our power to end this chaos.
This black-and-white photograph captures Marie Maynard Daly (1921–2003), the trailblazing American biochemist who became the first Black woman to earn a Ph.D. in chemistry in the United States (Columbia University, 1947), at work in her laboratory. Centered in the frame, Daly leans slightly forward with quiet intensity, her gaze directed downward in deep concentration at the scientific glassware she holds with practiced precision: a slender glass pipette in her right hand and a small test tube or vial in her left, as if carefully transferring a liquid during an experiment. She wears a crisp white lab coat unbuttoned at the front, revealing a dark dress or skirt beneath and a boldly contrasting scarf tied neatly at her neck; her short, wavy dark hair is neatly styled, and a pen peeks from her coat pocket. The mid-20th-century laboratory setting envelops her with authentic period detail—white tiled walls, wooden cabinets with glass doors stacked high with books and papers, a cluttered wooden desk, a tall stool, a visible refrigerator, scattered beakers and equipment on the bench, and even a fire extinguisher mounted on the wall—creating a sense of purposeful, hands-on scientific discovery. The composition places Daly as the clear focal point, her figure framed by the ordered chaos of research tools and notes, conveying a mood of focused dedication, intellectual rigor, and quiet empowerment. This historic image endures as a powerful symbol of Daly’s groundbreaking legacy: her pioneering studies on cholesterol’s role in heart disease, protein synthesis, and nucleic acids helped shape modern biochemistry, while her lifelong advocacy opened doors for women and people of color in STEM fields.

Overcoming the dual hurdles of racial & gender bias, her pioneering studies included cholesterol’s role in heart disease, protein synthesis, and nucleic acids. #WomenInSTEM
"The masters of war pretend not to know that it takes only a moment to destroy, yet a lifetime is often not enough to rebuild. They turn a blind eye to the fact that billions of dollars are spent on killing and devastation, yet the resources needed for healing, education and restoration are nowhere to be found." -Pope Leo XIV
"You're just voluntarily complying with this whimsical cosplay" -- holy shit, Tim Kaine is *demolishing* Russ Vought
Pope Leo XIV: Jesus told us, blessed are the peacemakers. But woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, or political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth.
THE SENATE IS VOTING ON THE BOUNDARY WATERS RIGHT NOW!
Tonight, while most people are watching TV or putting their kids to bed, the U.S. Senate is taking a vote that could permanently end protections for one of the most beloved wilderness areas in America.
Here’s a feed cleanser.
Dogs catching treats.
The economy right now is doing that thing where it says “I’m fine” while white-knuckling the steering wheel and taking 8 attempts to parallel park.
NEWS: Huge first win for Mayor Mamdani’s tax-the-rich plans in NYC.
Mamdani just secured a deal with Gov. Hochul to create the state’s first-ever tax on $5 million+ second homes owned by ultrawealthy out-of-state residents.
NEW EPISODE: In this episode I explain the lessons we should learn from Orban's defeat, and how we can form a resilient opposition movement to defeat Trump in 2026 and beyond. www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjVm...
MERZ: No army in Europe is as tested as Ukraine's army. No society become more resilient, no defense industry more innovative than Ukraine's.
Our cooperation benefits not just Ukraine's defense, but also reinforces German and European defense capabilities and industrial base.
Thanks to health care cuts in Trump’s Big Ugly Bill, nearly 450 hospitals across the country are cutting services and risk closing.
That’s 6.6 million patients losing access and 275,000 workers left jobless. There's nothing beautiful about that.
Why do you think President Trump posted that photo depicting Jesus?
