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.

I don't always find Jimmy Kimmel funny. That's irrelevant to his right to be funny or not without government interference. www.thebanner.com/opinion/colu...

Comey: My heart is broken for the Department of Justice. But I have great confidence in the federal judicial system and I'm innocent, so let's have a trial.

Gavin Newsom: “Masked men. Jumping out of unmarked vehicles. People disappearing. No due process. No oversight. No accountability. People say I’m being hyperbolic. Bullshit. This is happening in America today.”

While the DOJ is suing Democratic states to get them to hand over their voter rolls and information identifying those voters, Republican states have already eagerly complied. Just like with our Social Security records. We are not safe and nothing is private anymore.

I honestly don’t care about James Comey. But I want to live in a democratic republic. His indictment proves we live in a banana republic, where the autocrat personally orders indictments of his political enemies, and when his own officials refuse he finds new ones that will.

For my next decree, there shall be vast investment in renewable energy: ⚡️Creating hundreds of thousands of skilled, secure, well paid jobs. ⚡️Drastically reducing our global warming emissions. ⚡️Weakening the fossil fuel regimes that threaten us daily.

This is what unity looks like.

@chickgonebad.bsky.social @vespavixen.bsky.social She is who she is and who she is clear

It’s amazing that she thinks anyone is buying this

one of the most shocking things i remember from middle school is having to argue to a teacher that we did in fact have photography in the civil war, and that our textbooks were not showing pencil sketches. i was right of course, even proved it with sources, and got written up for it lmao

OBAMA: It's fair to say that 80% of the world's problems involve old men hanging on who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won't let go. They build pyramids, and they put their names on everything. They get very anxious about it.

Investigation into sudden loss of escalator power at the UN yields suspect.

Good morning Bluesky. This is my thinking today.

They'll support Argentina but not our own sick and hungry. America First my ass.

Imagine not being able to “ascend” because the escalator broke. 😂

If a government tells you that you can’t call it authoritarian, it’s authoritarian.

Sen. @chrismurphyct.bsky.social: “This nation has decided that we are not going to be afraid of a would-be dictator.”

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

Are people’s lives just a damn game to Homeland Security now? This is beyond sick.

Curtis Sliwa and I don't agree on much. But we do agree on this: City Hall is not for sale. You can't say the same for Cuomo or Adams.

BREAKING: Starbucks just announced a $1 billion restructuring and will close 59 unionized stores — nearly 10% of union locations. It includes the Roastery in Seattle, one of its busiest shops. CEO Brian Niccol made $100 million in four months last year.

Imagine if VP Kamala Harris did this.

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.

I find it weird that people are painting Mamdani as an extreme outsider. The US govt. has taken ownership positions in major US companies like Intel (and soon TikTok). Mamdani wants to open a city-run grocery store to sell cheap groceries. And you're telling me the second is a radical socialist.

Today's Cartoon- This explains it

It's wonderful seeing @andyrichter.co on Conan's podcast, discussing DWTS but also *lots* of talk about diarrhea. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhql...

MORE corruption

Homan: "If you ask them why they're protesting, they're gonna say things they've heard on the fake media. We're deporting US citizens -- no we don't. We separate families -- if a parent is being deported and they are here illegally and they chose to have a child, that's on them."

apnews.com/article/okla... This religious whacko part of actual the enemy within! Project 2025 is a fascist attack on our constitution unlike antifa which is a defender of democracy!

If there is a shutdown, this is going to be the Republican argument: That Dems are the cause and are doing it to preserve health care for migrants, trans people, and dead people.

I recommend Goodwill to save some cash. Can easily get cheap dvd or blu-ray/dvd players ($5-$15) as well as dvds. (We got our combo player for $7.50 since it had been on the shelf for more than 3 days.) Since people moved away from physical media, it’s plentiful. Don’t skip the book aisle! ☺️

I’ve also been wondering why they’re acting like we don’t have 1 of the shooters. They’re probably Ghislaine Maxwelling him? U say this and we’ll give you cushy that? Kash probably F’d up the case against him so badly that he wouldn’t be convicted anyway? I hope the kid just tells the truth.

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES ‼️

The American people won’t stand for a culture of corruption. It’s all coming out.

Oh, perfect. Just what America needs: Monopoly money with Charlie Kirk’s face on it. Republicans: kids can’t afford lunch, seniors can’t afford meds, families can’t afford housing. Also Republicans: let’s slap Charlie Kirk on the currency. Peak clown show.
