Under Trump: -An ExxonMobil lawyer runs DOJ's Environment division -An Amazon executive runs OSHA -A crypto and prediction markets lawyer runs the CFTC -A private prison executive runs ICE The list goes on... The revolving door is spinning out of control.

Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft are all planning huge layoffs. Amazon got $17.5B in federal tax breaks last year. Jeff Bezos is worth $270B. Meta saved $13.7B in taxes. Mark Zuckerberg is worth $210B. Microsoft saved $12.5B last year. Its CEO is worth $1.3B. This is what a rigged economy looks like.

TrumpMobile is now evidently shipping a two-year old Chinese-made phone, the T-Mobile REVVL 7 Pro 5G, to MAGA die-hards who ordered the $500 Trump phone. The T-Mobile REVVL 7 Pro 5G is available on Amazon for about $125 and sells in wholesale quantities for $40 to $50. Grifters gotta grift.

Three numbers every American should know today. Bezos paid Trump $40 million for the 'Melania' documentary. Now, Bezos saves $8 billion because of Trump's corporate tax cuts. While 17 million Americans lose health care. Corruption, plain and simple.

Chicago is giving a big thumbs down to the Melania movie. So far today, ticket sales total amount to a whopping 48 over 5 theaters with 19 showings. Five showings currently have sold zero tickets. Ouch.

Tesla doesn't recongise Trade Unions. Apple doesn't recognise unions. Amazon is anti-union. McDonald's is anti-union. Starbucks is anti-union. Google is anti-union. Walmart is anti-union. The big corporations are not on your side.

Amazon, Apple, Comcast, Meta, Microsoft, Nvidia, Union Pacific Railroad. They all shoveled money to Trump's ballroom — and could win big from friendly treatment from the admin on active antitrust deals and lawsuits. Is this bribery in plain sight? I'm pressing for answers.

Bezos removed books from Amazon on Ghislane Maxwell's trial and Kevin Spacey's trial. Inner City Press is a nonprofit in NYC. They do fantastic work. Fuck Bezos. @innercitypress.bsky.social

Could someone out there write a definitive guide on convenient alternatives to using Amazon.com for goods and books and whatnot? Asking for some folks who don’t want to see democracy die in darkness.

Corporate greed is Amazon increasing its profits by 75% last year to a record $35 billion, denying workers a $3 raise, illegally underpaying drivers and blaming a $20 price hike in a Prime membership on "inflation" while Jeff Bezos became $81 billion richer during the pandemic.

If Jeff Bezos can afford a $500 million yacht, a $23 million mansion with 25 bathrooms and a rocket ship to blast a comedian to outer space, you know what? Amazon can afford to give its employees a $3 raise. I stand in strong solidarity with the Amazon workers walkout.
