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.
Maybe 🤔, just maybe, we shouldn’t allow drunks, idiots, and dementia patients to be in charge of our country.

This is the last time I remember seeing anyone using a payphone. It was so rare I took a photo of it. @ianausten.bsky.social today inspired me to dig thru archives

Donald Trump is stuck in “no man’s land” on Iran—he doesn't want to commit to war, but he's also unwilling to make the concessions needed for a deal.
So instead, it’s delay after delay—“two weeks, two weeks”—as the crisis grows more dangerous.
OPINION: "Donald Trump’s presidency is a morality lesson. He is a living example of what happens when a man is given power that far exceeds his character." thehill.com/opinion/whit...
Trump and his administration have underestimated us.
The fact that so many are coming together to protect our democracy says so much about us, and gives me hope in who we are as a nation.
We are the United States of America🇺🇸 ✊🏻
Stay the course and don’t give up. 🌊
America's gun psychopathy continues: *138* mass shootings so far in 2026. 💔😡💔 #GunsDontMakeUsSafer

ICYMI — new HUNGARY 🇭🇺 PM Magyar says Netanyahu will be arrested if he goes to Hungary
For those attending the White House Correspondents' Dinner this weekend, a small question:
When you're sitting there at your table, do you think it'll cross your mind that the guest of honor is actively covering up his role in a massive child sex trafficking operation?

If you're a journalist who goes to this event, you will lose a substantial amount if not all of my trust.
ICE detained the wife of an active-duty U.S. Army Sgt. First Class after she showed up for an immigration appointment in 📍 El Paso—then still threatened removal despite legal protections.
Her husband (27 years active duty) said it plainly: ICE is out of control.

Thus why I don't use it anymore. No prime, no nothing. Had their credit card, paid it off and canceled the damn thing. Amazon is toxic sludge. Here's a great boycott guide for who else to avoid.

10 children were shot today in Shreveport, LA and 8 of them died. The police chief just doesn’t know how something like this could ever happen. But I think he knows exactly how something like this could happen and it has to do with the > 393 million guns in this country w/ very little regulation.
