"They got money for wars, but can't feed the poor" - Tupac Shakur 1993

An unapologetic ally through and through. Thank you, Rob Reiner. May you and Michele rest in power.

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year. That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare. Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year. UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year. Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

CEO pay is up 1,094% since 1978, while worker pay is up just 26%. Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

Starbucks is closing stores and cutting 900 jobs in a restructuring move. 1,100 jobs were slashed earlier this year. Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024. This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

David Letterman is right: you can't appease a tyrant.

At a nature reserve in Kenya, the last two northern white rhinos in existence live under the 24/7 protection of armed guards. The subspecies has been driven to near extinction by decades of poaching and civil war. Now, a new film is chronicling the fight to save them: https://cnn.it/4lPfHH5

Oh man…RIP Judge Frank Caprio 🙏 "Be kind to people"

94% of teachers have had to dip into their own pockets to buy school supplies. An estimated 1 in 6 have second jobs during the school year to make ends meet. The average Wall Street employee got a record $244,700 bonus last year. Something has gone terribly wrong.

Between his crypto ventures, real estate deals, and licensing agreements, Trump and his family have profited off the presidency to the tune of $3.4 billion. The grifter-in-chief knows no bounds. We must not become numb to this.

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?

Trump's Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick just relaxed export restrictions on AI chip manufacturers AMD and Nvidia. Lutnick's family business empire holds a combined $1.1B stake in both companies. "Conflict of interest" is an understatement.

Trump released 230000 pages about the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. Rev. Bernice King (MLKs daughter) posted this.

Works for me! 👍

Your Prime Day reminder that half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food & housing costs. A third have had to rely on government assistance like SNAP — which is about to get cut. If Bezos can spend $50M on a wedding, Amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity.

More than 880,000 workers will get a raise this summer due to state minimum wage increases. Anyone upset about this should consider the following: If the minimum wage had kept pace with worker productivity gains since the 1960s, it would now be nearly $26 an hour.

These are the people that make America great 🇲🇽🇺🇸

He’s got private golf resorts, personal jets, and towers with his name on them and yet he’s still begging oil despots for a luxury plane instead of helping people working two jobs who can’t make rent.

A reminder that if the minimum wage had kept pace with worker productivity gains since the 1960s, it would now be nearly $26 an hour.

Law professor Donald Ayer says, in his view, President Trump’s orders targeting law firms violate the constitutional rights to free speech, due process, and the right to counsel. "Someone must stand up to this because it is a direct attack on the whole functioning of our judicial system," he says.

What the actual fuck:

Video footage obtained by NBC News shows the moment Rumeysa Ozturk was arrested. Oztur is a Turkish national and doctoral student at Tufts University with a valid student visa, her lawyer says.

Comment l’éditeur de The Atlantic s’est retrouvé sans le demander dans le groupe de discussion du cabinet Trump dans les heures précédant les attaques au Yémen. Surréaliste. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Des centaines de millions investis dans Northvolt, 1/2 milliards en surplus pour le programme SAAQclic… Mais pendant ce temps on coupe dans le système de santé et les écoles manquent de ressources. Coupez dans la bureaucratie, écoutez le terrain et aidez nous à travailler! 🤯

So, after the past couple of years feeling like the USA lived an episode of “Succession” (i.e. big media mega-rich men buying the election of US presidency and its candidate), I really hope the next few years won’t turn into an episode of Handmaid’s Tale… 🤞

With everything so seemingly terrible these days & no sign of anything remotely hopeful in the near future, I thought you might need this photo of a baby giraffe.
