Since 2011, the CFPB has returned over $20 billion to victims of financial fraud. For every $1 in funding for the CFPB, more than $4 has been placed back in consumers’ pockets. Elon Musk doesn't want you to know that it's one of the most efficient government agencies we have.

If you're writing about how and why things are getting harder for Americans, remember - simple words reach more people. Your message only matters if people can understand it.

I don’t get how people can go from keying Teslas to praising Musk. It’s hypocrisy on the highest level and I don’t know how they live with the cognitive dissonance.

Everyone go take a little wander through r/conservative. It’s like the twilight zone. No matter what side anyone is on, everyone thinks the other side is unhinged.

Trump's treasury nominee Scott Bessent, who is worth ~$500 million, said extending Trump's tax cuts for the rich is "the most important economic issue of the day." When asked if we should raise the federal minimum wage above the current paltry $7.25 an hour, he said, "No, sir."

Just wanted to add that while Libby is great, it’s far cheaper for libraries to loan out the physical book. Please visit your local library they have so much to offer and librarians are so helpful.

Remember when everyone knew Nazis were the bad guys? Indiana Jones knew it. Captain America knew it. Our grandparents knew it so well they crossed an ocean to fight them. Even Magneto, a literal supervillain, was clear about Nazis being evil. Weird how it’s suddenly up for discussion.

Storygraph is really great. I like the monthly recaps and the yearly recap is so much better than goodreads, imho.

Our grandparents and great-grandparents made profound sacrifices fighting against fascism to preserve democracy and human dignity. Witnessing a Nazi salute at a U.S. Presidential Inauguration is an affront to their legacy and everything they fought to protect.

No, I’m mostly done with Meta, TikTok, etc. Been off FB and Twitter since 2020. I miss the early days of social media before users were a commodity. No ads or targeting was nice.

Yeah most people dgaf as long as the dopamine is flowing. I don’t like feeling manipulated, so I’m done.

When wealth becomes concentrated in too few hands, it weakens the foundations of democracy. The answer lies in strong civic institutions, transparent governance, and equal justice under law... but those seem to be on an extended vacation lately.

The fairies took TikTok last night and left this changeling in its place. It looks the same but something's... off. #deleteTiktok #sayNoToFascism

Everyone please delete TikTok and don’t go back. I will no longer be a commodity for them to buy and sell. The ‘entertainment’ they’re providing costs too much and I’m not interested.

If you still have a TikTok account now that it’s back, why? Delete it!! Nothing good comes from government overreach. The last 24 hours have been a circus and I’m done being manipulated.

epicuriouskat.bsky.social @epicuriouskat.bsky.social · 19/01/2025

I just deleted. As much as I love the creators I follow, I won’t have my choices dictated to me by fascists. Government overreach is out of control.

Carrot being unhinged and hilarious again. Very quick on the follow ups with relevant content.

Everything on Shorts and Reels is old. I’m seeing things I saw months ago on TikTok. It’s like using Cortana when I have access to Claude.

Someone said TikTok was back so I checked. My single video I can see is Howie Mandel dancing to I’ll Do It by Heidi Montag. Speidi algorithm working overtime. #spencerpratt #heidimontag

I created a profile today. Deleted my insta, got rid of fb in 2020. Hate people controlling my doom scrolling, so here I am.
