Just another example that billionaires didn’t become billionaires by being smarter than everyone else.

Of the five groups, two stand out for their prominent histories of supporting liberal causes—the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation and the Omidyar Network Foundation.

According to the tax statement, the Omidyar Network has contributed a total of $400,000 to American Compass since 2020. (In reality, Omidyar has donated $500,000, including forthcoming installments.) The Hewlett Foundation—a longtime supporter of National Public Radio—has accounted for more than one-third of American Compass’ total public support, giving a combined $1,486,000 over the same period, with an extra $475,000 dose this January.

That’s more than Hewlett gave to NPR or the Planned Parenthood Federation of America in the same timeframe.

Damn, if only Capitol police had been this determined to shut down the January 6th coup.

A [correctional officer] working in a male unit confronted a group of detainees stating, ‘Who’s the f•••ing p•••• who made the complaint against me?’”

Abolish ICE

This sure sounds like their next step will be insisting on segregation.

“This bill is not about privacy, because it will put private data at risk.

This bill is not about kids’ safety, because it will put their safety at risk.

It is not about parental oversight, because it takes those issues out of the hands of parents.

It is not about helping kids, because it’s going to shield kids from useful information that has literally saved lives.

The Republicans seem to know all this and are embracing it for these reasons. Which leaves a big question open: why are the Democrats supporting it at all?”

Agreed 100%. There was definitely a barrier to entry in the internet’s early days which is why it was so nice. People that were there had to learn because they WANTED to be there and make it something great.
