After buying it for $18.8 billion, Walgreens' new private equity owner has eliminated paid holidays for all hourly workers on Christmas and New Year's. Last year, Walgreens had a CEO-to-Worker pay gap of 410 to 1. Corporate greed that would make even Scrooge blush.

Corporations aren’t people, money isn’t free speech, and we need to End Citizens United. Repost if you agree.

Your School House Rock moment.....

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado. 11,000 people showed up. Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

Fact check: nearly 70 percent of US money for Ukraine actually went to US defense industry to replenish the stocks of OLD stuff that went to Ukraine to use. Much of which we would have paid to destroy as their lifespan expired.

Donald Trump signed a bunch of executive orders rolling back abortion protections in the middle of the night, hoping that no one would notice. This is — and always has been — about controlling women’s bodies. I’m fighting back.

It occurred to me that Mush must have some kind of blackmail on the Perpetraitor to shut that bloviated blowhard up. Hmm. Could it be he has the "P" tapes? 🤔 Oh, wait, I know, I know. He has the Epstein files, complete with the p3d0 pix and more. 🙄 Kompromat. And lots of it.

Elon Musk’s staffers have taken an additional $7.4 million this week in expenses, bringing the total to $14.4 million.

What can you do? Don’t give up hope. Dictators feed off your hopelessness. Don’t quit. Dictators want you to give up. Punch back. Dictators are bullies, and bullies are cowards. Stay tethered to the truth. Dictators need you to believe their lies. Resist. Stand with others.

Those who are serious need to stop treating this like we're still having rousing debates over microbrews. We're already in the first stanza of the "First they came for" poem. Barely coded language hasn't fooled anyone for a long time except the bigots with the smug faces saying you can't PROVE it.

Here's a bit of news from Europe. youtu.be/pNF55iCcQ3I?...

Bird flu is now spreading from birds to pets to people, but Donald doesn't want you to know that because it might make him look bad.

Elon Musk now has access to your Social Security number. The world’s richest man has gained access to the confidential personal information of every taxpayer in the United States.

Do older Americans know that Elon Musk now controls access to their Social Security and health insurance?
