The victory of the opposition in Hungary yesterday, like the Polish election in 2023, is a victory for democracy, not just in Europe but around the world.

The richest man owns X. The second and third richest men control Google. The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

Trump doesn't seem to see that some people are still immune to his threats. Jack White criticized Trump's Oval Office decor. The White House then called White a "washed-up, has-been loser... masquerading as a real artist." And White, undeterred, posted an absolutely blistering takedown in response.
officialjackwhite
"Jack White is a washed up, has-been loser posting drivel on social media because he clearly has ample time on his hands due to his stalled career," wrote Cheung. "It's apparent he's been masquerading as a real artist, because he fails to appreciate, and quite frankly disrespects, the splendor and significance of the Oval Office inside of The People's House."--White House Communications Director Steven Cheung

Listen, I'm an artist and not a politician so I'm in no need to give my answer or opinion on
anything if I'm not inspired or compelled, but how funny that it wasn't me calling out trump's
blatant fascist manipulation of government, his gestapo ICE tactics, his racist remarks about
Latinos, Native Americans, etc. his ridiculous "wall" construction, his attacks on the disabled
his attempted coup and mob insurrection and destruction of the sacred halls of congress,
his disparaging sexist and pedophilic remarks about women, his obvious attempts at
distraction about being a close personal friend of Jeffrey Epstein and his inclusion in the
Epstein files, his ignorance of the dying children in Sudan, Gaza, and the Democratic
Republic of the Congo, his lack of empathy for military veterans and those struggling with
poverty, his attempts to dismantle healthcare, his obvious wimpy and pathetic kowtowing
to the dictators Putin and Kim Jong Un, his nazi like rallies, his attempts to sell merchandise
and products like Goya beans through the office of the President, his fake "gunshot to the ear"
that he showed no medical records or photographs of his constant, constant lying to the American people, etc. etc. No, it wasn't me calling out any of that, it was the fucking DECOR OF THE OVAL OFFICE remarks I made that got them to respond with insults.
How petty and pathetic and thin skinned could this administration get? Masquerading as a
real artist? Thank you for giving me my tombstone engraving! Well here's my opinion,
trump is masquerading as a human being.officialjackwhite
He's masquerading as a christian, as a leader, as a person with actual empathy.
He's been masquerading as a businessman for decades as nothing he's involved in
has prospered except by using other people's money to find loophole after loophole and grift after grift. His staff of professional liar toadies like Steven Cheung
and Karoline Leavitt have been covering up and masking his fascism as patriotism and
"ample time on
at golf than
helping ANYONE in the country. Improve. Anything. There
progress with him, only
smoke and mirrors and tax breaks for the ultra wealthy. So maga folk, enjoy your
concrete paving over of the rose garden, your 200 million dollar ballroom in the White House, and your gaudy ass gold spray painted trinkets from Home Depot, cause he ain't spending any
money agenda. on helping YOU unless you fit into his white supremascist country club rich idiot.
No intelligent person can defend this
low life fascist. This bankrupter of casinos. This failed seller of trump steaks, trump vodka,
trump water, etc. This man and his goon squad have failed upwards for decades and have
fleeced the American people over and over. This professional golf cheat, this grifter who
has hundreds of thousands of deaths from his inaction of the pandemic on his hands,
this man that the majority of the country somehow were fooled into supporting and
voting into office (through the flawed electoral college) and their love of reality
television stars. Being insulted by the actual White House that this particular conman
leads is a badge of honor to me, because anyone who trump supports and likes is a villain
who gives nothing to their fellow man, only takes what can benefit themselves.
And no I'm not a Democrat either, I'm a human being raised in Detroit, I'm an artist who's
owned his own businesses like his own upholstery shop and recording label since he
was 21 years old who has enough street sense to know when a 3 card monte dealer is a
cheap grifter and a thief.

After a decade of carnage, we finally know what’s devastating sea stars along North America’s West Coast. Does that mean scientists can save them?

Welcome to the country formerly known as the United States of America. It was wonderful being part of this nearly 250 year old experiment while it lasted.

Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It ‘s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.
