Emails released on Monday by California’s attorney general show Amazon allegedly colluding with other companies to raise the prices of pet treats, khaki pants, eyedrops and other products sold online
Well, at least the BBC is covering this.
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.
A screenshot of a post on X (formerly Twitter) by Magyar Péter (Ne féljetek), with the handle @magyarpeterMP. The post reads: "Until 31 May, the Orbán puppets may voluntarily step down from their positions. This applies to the President of Hungary, the President of the Curia, the President of the National Office for the Judiciary, the President of the Constitutional Court, and the Prosecutor General. On 12 April, the Hungarian people voted for a complete political transformation. If these officials do not step down voluntarily by 31 May, then — on the basis of the mandate received from millions of Hungarians — we will remove them from office." At the bottom, the timestamp reads "3:04 AM • Apr 21, 2026" alongside "19.9K Views".
Peter Magyar is not playing around at all. He's going to purge every single remnant of corrupt Orbanism. This is exactly how Dems need to be when they retake power.
Today's winner of the Internet. Congratulations!
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.
They are physically grabbing citizens and illegally detaining them in those privately run “immigration prisons”
CITIZENS !!!!!
ICE has to be dismantled
And guilty ICE personnel should be prosecuted.
A hundred years ago, the U.S. had a nationwide network of short-line railroads that connected most urban and rural communities. By the 1940s, most of it had been dismantled ... by the barons of the auto and oil industries. 😑
Today I turn 89. I’ve seen this country at its best and its worst, and I know how much community matters. For my birthday, I’m asking you to stand with PFLAG and support the work that’s helped so many in the LGBTQ+ community, including me. give.pflag.org/page/95493/d...
Of COURSE he's insider trading. He's a crook, he's ALWAYS been a crook, he's using the presidency to make billions.
He ran to stay out of jail, to make money and to feel powerful, because that's what a narcissist like him gets off on. It was never about helping people.
Tim Cook donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration.
He fawned over Trump and gifted him a 24-karat gold plaque (as Apple lobbied for tariff exemptions).
Apple donated to Trump’s White House ballroom.
And it removed ICE tracking apps from its stores following a demand from the DOJ.
Remember this.
About 20 little children in the cartoon type drawing and two women who look like they could be teachers or mothers and they’re at the pearly gates with Saint Peter and there’s a little boy who says “hi we’re here from the place with the God-given right to guns.”
Another one,
WAR....What is it good for?

Mass shooting in Winston Salem NC kills 2 kids and 8 injured Schools nearby all went on lockdown all day! Not even a blip on the radar really. 😔🤷🏻♀️ #NC #NCpol wlos.com/news/local/m...
If this man had murdered eight strangers the story would lead every news outlet. But because they are his children, it's "family violence," "domestic violence" -- undeserving of the same attention. Even though this violence is much more common

How tragic that you could publish, then re-publish, then re-publish, then re-publish, then re-publish a cartoon like this over and over again...
ICE needs to be abolished.
Now.
Tesla saved $400 million on its federal taxes by shifting billions of its U.S. profits to countries with lower tax rates.
Yes: While you paid your taxes in full, giant corporations maneuvered to pay as little as possible — and it’s all perfectly legal for them.
The system is rigged.
NDP calls for a ban on surveillance pricing at grocery stores in Canada
“The practice involves companies using personal data to determine how much customers are willing to pay, and charge different prices for the same products.”
We never had to worry about fake news until we had a fake president.

Wow missed this.
“Norway reached 117% renewable electricity use in 2023, producing more than it consumes and exporting the surplus. “
Easy solution: Ban these gluttonous resource hogs.
A demonstration at the Dilley Concentration Camp in Texas. Children and families have been imprisoned in the concentration camp in Texas for months, and all they’ve experienced is abuse, neglect, mistreatment, undrinkable water and moldy food. #SHUTDOWNDILLEY

20 years of pickup truck design progress in one photo
one day when my mom was well into her dementia she told me about skipping meals so my brother and i could eat
that’s why hunger bothers me so much - my mom literally went hungry so we could eat, and right now as a society we won’t take our surplus and feed others
It looks like the world is being wise about the world cup. I am an American, it is NOT SAFE for anyone here. They give idiots a gun, authority, and no training.
If I murder someone, I go to jail or worse. If ICE murders someone for no reason, they get praise from the president.
There should be a law passed, and enforced, that we will no longer have for profit prisons of any kind! Ever again! Incentivized incarceration should be a crime against humanity and should be retroactively enforced! They know what they are doing is wrong!
