"During the heatwaves, the warehouse feels like a furnace—people faint, but the targets [productivity quotas] never stop. Even if we fainted,... if we took that day off, our pay would be cut, and if we took three days off, they would fire us. Amazon treats us as expendable.” — worker in India

I'm really glad to see someone like Kelly finally saying this. bsky.app/profile/atru...

I will not forget the court-martial of Army Officer William Calley for the premeditated murder of unarmed S. Vietnamese civilians in the 1968 My Lai massacre. His claim to've been following orders was disregarded, as such order would have been patently illegal under the Manual for Courts-Martial...

I wonder what they're scared of. Could it be an energetic 36-year-old former healthcare community organizer endorsed by the TN AFL-CIO who stands up for women & against abuse by ICE? If so, that would be member of the TN House of Representatives and Dem candidate for TN-7, @AftynBehn.bsky.social.

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.

"U.S. agriculture and other breadbaskets are among the hardest-hit in the study’s projections, while regions in Canada, China, & Russia may benefit." The #ClimateCrisis is a national security issue in more ways than one. (& to state the obvious, it serves American interests to make nice w/Canada)

When a politician says: we’ll deregulate health insurance and send you a “freedom account” check, ask: freedom to buy what? If insurers don’t offer real policies or can cherry-pick only healthy people, that money is a coupon for a store that’s not open.

"Jorge" shared this video from where he is hard at work pruning cherry trees in the Madera CA area. Pruning trees is hard work as holding these shears up all day long as you climb up and down ladders causes serious strain on workers' arms, shoulders and back. #WeFeedYou

I interviewed Aftyn Behn, who is running in a special election in TN7 — if you know anyone in the district, please remind them to vote for Aftyn. She has a real shot to flip the congressional seat. @aftynbehn.bsky.social jesspiper.substack.com/p/feed-kids-...

A young, energetic candidate whose tagline is "FEED KIDS. FIX ROADS.

We (still) have freedom of speech. We should make good use of it...among other ways, by reminding our political leaders that [per Kat's msg] they don't "deserve" our votes, they must earn it — & NOT by settling. Our lives are more important... And, yes, impeachment is still an option.

Violence is NOT a legitimate form of resistance against MAGA overreach, cruelty, and/or extremism. It is escalatory. It is NOT a deterrent. It emboldens extremists.

We should be clear that there are significant opportunity costs to every * unwarranted deployment of military resources on American streets * unnecessary military parade * extravagant WH expansion (even if privately subsidized) * costly deportation to "s***hole countries" * detension in Guantanamo

Knowingly defying judicial orders on the basis that written instruction failed to explicitly cover an implication spelled out in the verbal order does not seem kosher, does not seem exculpatory. #ResistImpunity #ResistCruelty #ResistIllegalDeportations

I was just thinking about contributing to the "charity" Feeding America. Until I discovered that the salary for its CEO, Claire Babineaux-Fontenot, was approximately $949,866 in 2024, with her total compensation being $1,113,502. Apparently, feeding America isn't her top priority.

As you’re preparing for your Thanksgiving meal, remember the skilled work it took to get that food to your grocery store. Tell us your favorite Thanksgiving dish, and we can share some of what we know about the work behind the ingredients.

"'It says that they don’t care at all for Black women in health, and it’s hurtful 'We thought that, you know, things have changed at this point in our country, and I don’t see a change.'" — Wells, a mother of four, who was sent home while in labor

A reminder of why we cannot give up on climate policy: www.eenews.net/articles/ris...

BREAKING: This is huge news, the EU's equivalent of the 🇺🇸Supreme Court's 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling. 🇪🇺Court of Justice just ruled all 🇪🇺countries must recognise same-sex marriages granted in other member states. This effectively legalises gay marriage across 🇪🇺

We still need to get from a situation where Russia pretends to negotiate to a situation where they need to negotiate. Extract from my press remarks following today’s informal Foreign Affairs Council ↓

"CNH Industrial NV is an Italian-American multinational corporation with global headquarters in Basildon, United Kingdom, but controlled and mostly owned by the multinational investment company Exor, which in turn is controlled by the Agnelli family." — Wikipedia

The war against creeping authoritarianism is waged wherever that malevolent impulse rears its ugly head.

CASSIDY: I know it's titillating, but I think we need to move beyond the titillation TAPPER: This isn't about titillation. This is about the fact that you are the chairman of the health committee and you voted to confirm somebody that by all accounts is actually making America less healthy

Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.
