The US spent 400 billion tax payer dollars making Elon the richest man in the history of the world. We’ve spent 176 billion helping Ukraine stand up for their country. I know which purchase I regret. So, if the US won’t stand up, I will as a citizen of the world. I just donated. This site was set up by Zelenskyy in 2022 for direct donations to support Ukraine and you can eat mark your donation for things like education or humanitarian aid if you’d prefer.

Cutting ridiculous spending and providing much needed assistance to the poorest. “But what about the deficit & people shouldn’t rely on government handouts to live. Plus DOGE is cutting waste.” you mean like the billions in government contracts you gave to musk that prop up his businesses, the cuts you gave to the wealthiest, or the deficit that you just voted to add billions of dollars to? While Doge is indiscriminately firing workers and cancelling contracts but not providing actual savings?

Data privacy rights. “But how will the companies compete and think of the workers they will lay off.” You mean like the thousands you just randomly cut from government positions or the ones you’re openly bragging about replacing with AI? I’ll bet there’s a lot of unemployed programmers out there who’d love to work for companies who value their users. 🧵

Does anyone else think that now would be a good time for an opposition party in the US to start loudly swinging for the fences on all the things we’ve wanted? Universal Health Care. “We can’t because it’s too expensive” oh but you just cancelled the deal to cap drug prices and gutted medical assistance so….🧵1

Ah yes. The people checking the facts, historical references and data are too “politically biased” because crazy people can say things on tv (when fact checks are absent) and not on our platform. In other words, we want some of that sweet nonsensical Trumpism spending money on our platform and we don’t want to anger the orange guy. I see. Why do people still use this? https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/digital/mark-zuckerberg-meta-ends-content-restrictions-restore-free-speech-1236102963/

Musk’s championing for free speech is basically, “free speech means I can say anything I want and you don’t get to tell me I’m wrong.” This should be the reply for every time this guy rails on about being “the champion of free speech”. https://www.mediaite.com/tech/elon-musks-critics-stripped-of-verification-badge-after-publicly-challenging-billionaire-the-beginning-stages-of-censorship/

I would like to begin by stating as clearly as possible, “Fuck you Google.” Your argument is, “we need to be able to track everyone and collect data in everything because we make way more money that way. It’s hard today because no one wants us to do this and they keep blocking us. Promise us that we will be careful and ensure that this is done responsibly.” Not sure about you, but I have a RIGHT TO PRIVACY if I wish it.

You know, I have an idea. This would be a lot more difficult for hackers if we didn’t constantly scrape every ounce of peoples lives for profit. I understand that it is still doable, but some data privacy rights just might help. 🤷‍♂️ https://www.politico.com/news/2024/12/04/chinese-telco-hacks-white-house-00192714

I listen to people constantly saying things like, “why does the package say ‘warning: food from oven is hot’. How dumb do they thing we are?” *me gesturing to election results* “Yeah but he doesn’t mean those things he says. He lies all the time.” And THAT DOESNT GIVE YOU PAUSE?!? I feel like we need more toddler proofing now. “DISCLAIMER: Burger King is not an actual monarch.”
