"Cuba defiant after Trump says island to receive no more Venezuelan oil or money
HAVANA/HOUSTON, Jan 11 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday said no more Venezuelan oil or money will go to Cuba and suggested the Communist-run island should strike a deal with Washington, ramping up pressure on the long-time U.S. nemesis and provoking defiant words from the island's leadership.
Venezuela is Cuba's biggest oil supplier, but no cargoes have departed from Venezuelan ports to the Caribbean country since the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro by U.S. forces in early January amid a strict U.S. oil blockade on the OPEC country, shipping data shows."

"Thiel Gives $3 Million to Group Seeking to Block California Wealth Tax
More large donations from wealthy Silicon Valley figures are expected as they try to marshal opposition to a proposed ballot measure that would impose a new tax on billionaires.
Some of Silicon Valley’s ultrawealthy have been in a financial frenzy in recent weeks over how to protect their assets from a proposed California ballot measure that would tax their billions.
Now comes the next, more muscular phase: trying to beat the proposal, which supporters are trying to place on the ballot in November.
The first seven-figure political donation that can be used to defeat the so-called billionaires tax became public on Friday: Peter Thiel, the venture capitalist and chairman of Palantir, donated $3 million to a committee opposing the proposed initiative, according to a new disclosure.
The contribution, made on Dec. 29, went to Californians Against Higher Taxes, a committee run by a state business lobby, the California Business Roundtable. It is expected to be the first of several major contributions in 2026 from Silicon Valley leaders who hope to defeat the proposed wealth tax and other tax proposals, according to people involved in the conversations."

Twitter and Facebook are the largest repositories of CSAM online and Governments do nothing about it except use it as an excuse to clamp down on Internet Freedoms while turning a blind eye to Oligarch Paedo-Gardens
Here's a story from a few months ago about it, and not a thing was done so here we are today with the problem getting worse.

They're erasing us Queers from public life again and the Oligarchs are behind it.
How many Straight allies are there? Are there enough? Palestine has plenty of allies around the world, yet they're still being erased....

Part of this workshop involved introducing ourselves & answering this question - If you had a magic wand, what would you do with it?
In answering that, I outed myself as the solo #anarchist in attendance. My answer:
If I had a magic wand, I'd wipe out all #oligarchs controls, redistribute global #wealths to all global citizens & ensure that all #grassroots #communities are fully funded.

I refrained from really harsh criticism about part of this #GrantsWriting & #nonprofits #FundsDevelopment workshop because the facilitator recommended that people use #AI to do that work - more than once. FUCK NO - don't do that - #BadAdvice. I hate how too many fund granters & people working to supposedly help strengthen nonprofits are fucking recommending crappy, failures-heavy, fucking AI.
Sorry but not really sorry, for cussing so much about this issue. It seriously irks me so fucking much!
The representative recommending is from one of our largest public granter associations - The Victoria Foundation. I need to set up a meeting with them - ASAP! This is not how nonprofits shit should go, whatsoever.

Vy The legacy of DOGE is not that it failed. It's that it
"destroyed:
1. faith in real cost conscious governance
2. the careers of committed govt employees
3. scientific research and the biomedical
breakthroughs that come with it
4. countless lives of the world's poorest

Vy But Elon Musk got a trillion dollar pay package
from Tesla and was dining with Trump and MBS
the other day. so, i guess, it was a success on
that front.
