The 100 lowest-paying US corporations spent $644B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024. Buybacks artificially boost share prices and inflate CEO pay. The typical worker at these companies earned $35k last year. Meanwhile, the average CEO was paid $17.2M See the problem?

Organizers have reported 7 million attendees at the No Kings events and we’re happy to confirm 7 million and counting! More events are still happening across the country today, so we’ll need additional time to fully certify the final numbers.

BREAKING: ICE agents raided a family home with gun’s pointed at them— no warrant, no explanation. Kids screaming, doors busted, entire family terrified… and every single person in that home had legal status. This is what happens when power answers to no one.

Andrew, we're voting you off the island and back to the suburbs. Our new ad just aired during Survivor.

George Floyd should still be here to celebrate his 52nd birthday. His life sparked a movement, and our fight for justice, accountability, and humanity continues. We’ll never stop saying his name.

An honor to receive the endorsement of of nearly a dozen Black clergy leaders in Crown Heights today, including Bishop Orlando Findlayter. I’m grateful for their support, and this powerful and humbling prayer.

Tish James lit up the room last night — and her words echoed far beyond the walls of The United Palace. This is a fight for the future.

"We have an economy where a handful of modern-day robber barons wield extraordinary power. They hold enormous control over our paychecks, our bills, our time, and our futures. ...But the good news is that nothing about any of this is inevitable." - Lina Khan

This afternoon, I sat with Palestinian New Yorkers in Astoria and listened to what they and their families have endured as the genocide in Gaza continues, funded by our government. In the face of immeasurable grief, they have showed unbreakable resilience.

Imagine being a MAGA and hating immigrants instead of pedophiles.

A WILD ONE: A man broke his leg during an arrest by ICE at a car wash south of L.A. ICE has held him under 24/7 guard at a hospital, registering him under a pseudonym, for *37 days* without telling him why. A judge has ordered his immediate release. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

DEVELOPING: ICE agents in Alamosa, Colorado ran up to a vehicle with guns drawn and shattered the window while a one-month-old baby sat inside. This is the image of state power in America.

When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty.

Violent thugs are terrorizing Americans and they were sent by the White House.

Same as it ever was.

This government shut down is all about whether Republicans will get away with raising health care premiums by 75% for 20 million Americans and throwing 15 million people off their health care. We can't allow that to happen.

Praising Eric Adams is dumb, unnecessary and only serves to condone corruption and lawlessness.

"Corruption is why hedge funds get to buy up all the houses in your neighborhood, driving you out of the market and then your corporate landlord ignores your calls during a gas leak." - @ossoff.bsky.social

I can’t tell you how much good could be done right now by average citizens socially cold-shouldering anyone tangentially working for ICE.

Yesterday people asked why Nexstar and Sinclair caved. The answer is simple: those who tracked which companies were advertising with them made a huge impact. Thanks to those calls, companies began pulling their ad budgets over the Kimmel blackout.

Sickening behavior by this agent. The fact that Mayor Adams has rolled out the red carpet for ICE is a stain on our city.

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'm appalled but unfortunately unsurprised to hear that ICE is targeting my neighbors in Rogers Park today. Unidentifiable and unaccountable agents are roaming the streets with their faces covered targeting schools and community centers. It needs to end. Abolish ICE.

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

800 detainees are missing after being held in Alligator Alcatraz in July, showing no record of their location in ICE’s database. Other detainees have been mistakenly deported or sent to detention centers thousands of miles away. The cruelty is the point.

Jimmy Kimmel isn't returning to the airwaves because of "thoughtful conversations" with Disney executives. He's back because consumers sent Disney a clear message: selling out our fundamental rights is not an acceptable cost of doing business.

The final stage of the Master Plan is here - the stage when people in power stop trying to hide anything, stop trying to create a pretense, and proudly declare that they "do not care" about corruption. MasterPlanPodcast.com

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

The need to silence your critics only reveals how weak and fragile you are.

JD's grandma thought she could make his BJ lovin' ways disappear. He is after two things now. 1) Destroy Free Speech, and getting rid of tRump to fix the fragmented MAGA BASE. Our mission is to expose Maybelline Vance, and call out those who target LGBTQ+ Peoples.

They cry “free speech” when it’s hate, violence, and lies. But the second we tell the truth or call them out, suddenly we’ve gone too far. That, my friends, is what you call selective outrage.

🎧LEVER TIME: Robert Reich recounts his experience working with presidents & seeing the Dem Party’s capitulation to corporate power — which he says helped create conditions for Trump’s rise. He discusses how to fight corruption & save the country. www.levernews.com/robert-reich...

Trump threatened in a social media post to declare a national emergency over crime in Washington. His comments came just days after Mayor Muriel Bowser said D.C. police would stop helping federal agents.

Y’all are cutting HBCU funding, dismantling civil rights offices, slashing Medicaid and SNAP, over-policing Black communities—yet want us to believe you’re helping poor Black people?

Reminder: ignore the bots. We’ve started following many of you on here and just want to say, if you need a break, take one. The internet will still be here tomorrow. 💚

The murders of Charlie Kirk and Minnesota state representative Melissa Hortman are part of a dangerous rise in political violence. We cannot accept this as the norm. We must do whatever we can to reduce the anger and hate that are consuming and destroying so much of the country.

In 2023, we won the Build Public Renewables Act — a groundbreaking law empowering NYS to speed up the clean energy transition and lower your bills with publicly-owned power. Today is the deadline to tell the New York Power Authority that we need a plan for 15 GW by 2030. Take urgent action below.

I’m honored to serve on the new January 6th subcommittee alongside and Rep. Swalwell @repmoskowitz.bsky.social. Together, we will defend the Constitution, protect the truth, and make sure the American people never forget who was responsible for the defilement of the Capitol.

Let’s be clear—this is bigger than Trump. The Epstein files show how banks, corporations, and even governments looked the other way while children were abused. Survivors deserve justice. We can’t let this cycle repeat.

They are privatizing Medicare, which means they will profit off denial of coverage. Say no to the GOP or face loss of insurance.

RFK Jr: It's gonna be the biggest infusion of federal dollar into rural healthcare in American history BERNIE SANDERS: Yeah. You know why? Because you're cutting $150b for rural hospitals, you're putting $50b back. That's not an infusion. That's a loss of $100b.

I already beat another guy who cut Medicaid, gave tax breaks to billionaires, and hounded multiple women who accused him of sexual harassment — might as well debate the one actually calling the shots.

Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything? Especially something we don't want. Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?"
