The image features a circular design with a light blue background and a darker blue border. At the center, there is a bold statement in dark blue text that reads, "I want to live in a SOCIETY not in an ECONOMY." The text is arranged in three lines, with "SOCIETY" being the most prominent word. Surrounding the text is a decorative border with illustrations of buildings and small floral motifs, giving the image a quaint, traditional aesthetic. The buildings are depicted in a stylized manner, with windows and roofs, and are placed in the corners of the circle. The overall design is reminiscent of traditional ceramic tiles, with a clean and simple layout.

The image depicts a cartoon-style illustration of a rat with a human-like hairstyle, sitting in a corner. The rat has a worried expression, with sweat drops on its face, indicating stress or anxiety. It is positioned in front of three large buttons on the floor, each with a different label. The buttons read "BLAME OBAMA," "START A WAR," and "BLAME THE MEDIA." The background is simple, with a plain wall and floor, emphasizing the rat and the buttons. The overall tone of the image is satirical, using the rat to represent a political figure and the buttons to suggest actions that might be taken in response to perceived problems.

The image is a political cartoon depicting a classroom setting with a man in a blue suit and red tie, resembling Donald Trump, standing in front of a chalkboard. He is pointing at the board with a stick, which has the title "The Epstein Files" written at the top. The chalkboard contains a list of statements, including "The files are filled with Libs!" and "Pam Bondi has the files on her desk." The man in the red shirt with a MAGA cap is raising his hand, looking frustrated, and the caption at the bottom reads, "DO YOU THINK I'M STUPID?" The cartoon humorously critiques the contradictory and confusing statements made about the Epstein files.

A contract to hire and fire, but no, no influence whatsoever🤡2018: "Virginia’s largest public university granted the conservative Charles Koch Foundation a say in the hiring and firing of professors in exchange for millions of dollars in donations, according to newly released documents.

The release of donor agreements between George Mason University and the foundation follows years of denials by university administrators that Koch foundation donations inhibit academic freedom."

♲ @strangerthanfiction@diaspora.glasswings.com:kneecapping for Bezos now?Chris Smalls, American labor union leader, reportedly tortured by Israeli security forces
Chris Smalls, an American trade unionist and leader of the Amazon Labor Union, has been subjected to torture by Israeli security forces, reports say. Smalls was aboard of Gaza-bound Handala aid ship which was seized by Israeli forces near the Gaza coast on Saturday night, with 21 unarmed civilians on board, including lawmakers, medics, and volunteers.
“When he reached the Israeli prison, U.S. human rights defender Chris Smalls was physically assaulted by seven uniformed individuals,” the Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC) said on X.“They choked him and kicked him in the legs, leaving visible signs of violence on his neck and back,” the statement said. The FFC highlighted that “when his lawyer met with him, Chris was surrounded by six members of Israel’s special police unit. This level of force was not used against other abducted activists.”
Smalls, 37, became particularly known in 2022 following the successful foundation of a labor union at a Staten Island Amazon factor, which counts more than 8,000 members. The Amazon Labor Union (ALU) became the first unionized Amazon workers recognized by the National Labor Relations Board.

$100,000 starting salary made by bullshit rader ping very loudly
and a quick google suggests this is in fact a bullshit number - yes some people hired at a senior level may make 100k, but the vast majority won't
@OddOpinions5 Considering how worthless Google is, I wouldn't put much faith in those results. The starting salary is a little bit of a stretch, but considering the signing bonuses they offer, its not unbelievable:

The image features a vast, open field with a single tree in the center, under a partly cloudy sky. The background is a mix of blue and white, with scattered clouds. Overlaid on the image is text in white font, which reads: "The Los Angeles Olympics will be the first hosted by a fascist country since 1936. 🇺🇸 I wonder how many athletes will be refused entry?" The text is centered and spans the width of the image. The American flag emoji is placed between the two sentences. The overall composition is simple, with the text and flag being the focal points against the natural backdrop.

The image features two men in suits, one holding papers, walking in what appears to be an office or formal setting. The man on the left is wearing a blue suit with a red tie, while the man on the right is in a dark suit with a light purple tie. The background is blurred, suggesting a busy environment. The image is overlaid with text, which reads: "I keep seeing 'DOJ to meet with Ghislaine Maxwell today.' Yes, that would be Donald Trump's CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY TODD BLANCHE. This is beyond parody. It's an open, screamingly stupid cover up of Donald Trump's crimes with Jeffrey Epstein." Below this, another text states: "I'm old enough to remember when this was called witness tampering." The image is a meme, combining a photograph with critical commentary.
