The 2019 trips, one to Bali & the other to the #BohemianGrove, a rich men only retreat, were first revealed by @ProPublica. Last year, #ClarenceThomas argued that he did not need to disclose the gifts.
In the new filing, however, Thomas amended his 2019 #FinancialDisclosure, writing he “inadvertently omitted” the trips on previous reports.
#ProPublica documented the undisclosed luxury vacations & gifts Thomas has received over the yrs from several #billionaires, incl #HarlanCrow.
BREAKING - Proving his reputation as a great entrepreneur and innovator, #Elon#Musk today announced he will be bringing porn to #X and again rebranding the former #Twitter social media platform by changing the name from X to XXX #billionaires#ElonMusk
#Musk is a free-speech absolutelynotist.
"This is why right-wing #billionaires sue people reporting on them," continued Collins, who previously worked as a reporter for #NBC News covering, among other thing, right-wing disinformation. "They know they can't win these lawsuits. But they also know legal fees will cripple the little guy reporting on their lies & crimes. This is how free speech is actually chilled—vengeful dipshit billionaires.

“most striking about the tale of the Bell rocket belt is the shape of the deception that Moore and Bell pulled off” #jetpacks
“exactly what the #selfdriving car #robotaxi bros did over the past decade to convince us all that the human driver was already obsolete. The playbook was nearly identical”
“we have vested an alarming amount of power in the hands of #tech#billionaires”
I think that Biden has an even bigger problem than the fact that he keeps giving taxpayer-funded weapons to Israel to kill Palestinian kids: it's the recognition by many people that the reason for doing so is to appease the #oligarchy actually in charge of our country. That #billionaires , not city leadership, are directing police to suppress free speech. That's not #democracy. #Gaza
