Example #52,186 of why we cannot trust #corporations to “self-regulate”

Republicans strip regulations b/c they are owned by fat-cat corporate executives. They care only about 💵 & DGAF about ppl or the natural world.

Sociopaths.

Speeding doesn't actually save you meaningful time. All it really accomplishes is aggressively increasing the chances that you kill yourself or someone else outside your vehicle. It's a mathematically flawed, entirely selfish risk.

I’m sure Susan Collins, noted champion of women 🙄, is concerned.

These deaths are on RW SCOTUS, every Republican & their voters.

Tell me again, Amy Coney Barrett, how Roe is “settled law.”

Data Center PR is…something.
The ads they’re running must cost a fortune (or interest on 10 minutes of money-hoarding billionaires’ filthy lucre).

AI slop is accelerating climate crisis, & expanding pFAS, driving up 💡 bills, draining 💦 but 🤔
No mention of those facts here.

Refreshingly real journalism from @propublica.org

But:

“Kushner, who has been helping lead the U.S. government’s negotiations with Russia over Ukraine” ??

🧐

More likely that Kushner is “helping” Putin in toppling a sovereign nation.
For a price, of course.

Susan Collins must be upset.
Not nearly as upset as Epstein’s many victims when she voted to keep the Epstein files sealed, though.

Or as upset as families who lost women denied reproductive healthcare b/c she was all in for Kavanaugh.

Gutless warmonger George W Bush getting trolled hard in the comments for his 9/11 “paintings.”

Still crickets on the Iran War & Republicans’ tidal wave of corruption, though.

Ted Cruz lied about three candidates on live TV. The crowd chanted for one to be shot. He kept talking. Democrats, it's time for action.

He's actions are dangerous and deliberate. He needs to face legal consequences. Bottom line!

❤️ Canada

Can’t wait till Republicans are kicked to the curb (or incarcerated) &
🇺🇸 & 🇨🇦 can reconnect.
When U.S. airspace was closed on 9/11, Canada took in hundreds of diverted flights and thousands of stranded passengers under Operation Yellow Ribbon, and later by sending troops to our war in Afghanistan. We have the best neighbors any country can have. Trump is a total idiot for what he’s doing. 🔄

Has George W Bush popped out of his hidey hole to comment on the lies about air quality after 9/11?

I guess President “weapons of mass destruction” supports Republican lies Always.
