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.

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.

Back to the simple natural order of things…….. not human arrogance based on destruction of our water,air, environment for profit…… for the 1%

Suspect dead after 8 children killed, 2 women wounded in Louisiana shooting The suspect, who was the father of seven of the children, was killed after a vehicle chase, police said. The slain children were 3 to 11 years old, authorities said.

This "president" has said nothing-- NOTHING-- about eight kids killed in a mass shooting in Louisiana today. Ages range from 1 year to 14 years. Children.

And they rate not a single comment.

I detest that bucket of filth and the way he's lowered the bar for all.

If we get 50% of those eligible to vote out to the polls, that alone would create a logjam as it appears there are long lines when only 25% of voters go vote.

Hungary brought out 79% of the vote. Young people.
If only America could be this passionate about government.

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!

Release the #EpsteinFiles NOW....

A mass shooting that took the lives of eight children should stop this country in its tracks. Instead, the Shreveport tragedy disappeared from the headlines in a day. We cannot allow this level of violence to fade into background noise. Ending America’s gun‑violence epidemic is a moral oblligation.

We've all seen the videos of ICE pulling people out of their cars, shooting citizens with pepper balls, and even worse killing Americans in the streets.

This is not normal. And it cannot continue.

ICE needs commonsense guardrails NOW.

Haunted by ‘Dark Thoughts,’ Louisiana Father Kills 8 Children

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

In a nutshell. 😊

Israel maintains a quota of no greater than 10% Muslims/Arabs living within Israel. And yes, they can vote and run for the Knesset. But don't forget that Prior to 1949, Palestine was 95% Muslims/Arabs. Israelis pushed them out, took their land. 10% is a powerless minority. Israel is not a democracy.

We need a lot less of all of these private schools and more free public child care, kindergartners, grade schools, high schools and universities, a less costly military & more free education!

JUST IN: 🇮🇷🇺🇸 Iranian state media says reports of a second round of US-Iran talks in Pakistan are false.

"The news published by the US is part of their propaganda campaign and a 'blame game' aimed at pressuring Iran."

Michigan gas station clerk saves teen from alleged kidnapper after she mouths ‘help’ In Hamtramck, Abdulrahman Abohatem placed himself between 16-year-old girl and man before police arrest

Then, she mouthed … to me, like with no sound: ‘Help,’” Abohatem recounted to the outlet. He described getting out from behind the front counter’s protective glass, placing himself between the man and the girl and ordering him to leave the business.

Immigration board denies Mahmoud Khalil's appeal, bringing activist one step closer to deportation The Board of Immigration Appeals has denied Mahmoud Khalil's latest attempt to dismiss his deportation case.

The Trump admin has targeted students, faculty, universities, law firms, journalists, newsrooms, protesters -- anyone speaking in even tentatively oppositional ways to those in power. But there's been particular attack on immigrants & Palestinian rights speech. Horrible: apnews.com/article/mahm...

Netanyahu is a war criminal wanted for starving millions of Palestinians.

Since warrants for his arrest were issued, he’s visited the US seven times, and been welcomed into the White House and halls of Congress.

US law requires arresting those suspected of committing genocide.

צה"ל ממשיך להרוס מבנים בכפרים בדרום לבנון בזמן הפסקת האש מפקדים בצבא אמרו ל"הארץ" כי בשבועות האחרונים הובאו לאזור עשרות כלים הנדסיים המופעלים בידי קבלנים אזרחים, שחלקם מתוגמלים לפי מספר המבנים שנהרסו. מקור המעורה בפרטים אמר כי חלק מהקבלנים פעלו גם בעזה

Even during the "ceasefire", the Israelis are still demolishing entire villages in southern Lebanon with armored bulldozers. In fact, civilian contractors hired by the army receive pay which is based on the number of buildings destroyed.

Schumer voted against blocking the sale of these bulldozers.

Yeah, I’ve never quite got over the profound moral injury aspect of watching so many Americans absolutely refuse to even mildly sacrifice to help others during Covid - watching MAGAs somehow become even more evil was radicalizing.

And now the bastards are trying to destroy MRNA research.

So much for the theory. Iran should allow fertiliser to pass through the Strait of Hormuz; America should not blockade urea shipments from Iran. Tragically, neither shows any inclination to do so. High petrol prices make biofuel more attractive to farmers, not less. And rich countries are in a selfish mood. Failure to act thus looks baked in. In the face of an avoidable disaster, that is shameful.

Fair but depressing conclusion from @economist.com - we could avoid some of the worst of the hunger, but we won’t

Federal Judge Vacates Kennedy Declaration, Permanently Blocks Trump's Trans Youth Care Hospital Threats The judgment overturns the Kennedy Declaration which has been used to force 40 hospitals to drop trans youth care.

1. This weekend, a federal judge permanently blocked funding threats to providers and hospitals that provide trans youth care.

The judge also blocked "any similar policy."

Hospitals have NO excuse and must return to providing care under many blue state laws.
