This. Plenty of people would prefer that women be our only social safety net.

Scouts has given a lot of kids and adults great opportunities to appreciate nature, learn a wide variety of civic to very practical skills, empower them to feel confident, and help them understand team work and mutual support. This is shameful.

Here I cover in @forbes.com how many clinical trials have been disrupted by Trump administration NIH grant terminations and how many patients may have been affected 🛟 🧪 😷 #AcademicSky #MedSky #episky🩺 #HiSciSky Public Health #science www.forbes.com/sites/brucel...

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. And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?

every company in 2025

This looks genuinely awful. How terrible right before the holidays, too. Is there a sad Santa emoji?

I am so happy to see this reporter just doing what we are all thinking, despite the word salad reply. Give this reporter a position questioning more politicians! Release the Epstein files. Lock up the rapists!

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance. The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income. They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive. Wanna fix fraud and abuse? Fix that.

Cuts to PBS funding are "completely shortsighted," Ken Burns says on Mixed Signals from Semafor Media. " This will hurt mostly the small rural stations ...  It will only hurt people who don't deserve to be hurt, who need to not live in a news desert."

If Prince Andrew used Epstein’s child sex trafficking ring, he should go to jail. If Bill Clinton used Epstein’s child sex trafficking ring, he should go to jail. If Donald Trump used Epstein’s child sex trafficking ring, he should go to jail. That wasn’t so difficult, was it?

What’s the point of being a political reporter if you accept a national politician pretending to not know about anything that’s happening, including things directly relevant to his job, and move on after you get that answer?

My favorite red head, little Rosita. Enjoy some free cuteness!

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP. Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP. The people who need help are not the problem. It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

When Massachusetts passed a "millionaires tax" in 2023, conservatives claimed the rich would flee. But two years later, they haven't — and MA has collected $5.7B for infrastructure and public education. A reminder that positive change can still happen at the state level.

if you’ve never seen Interview with the Vampire, it ends with the vampire being told he’s made it through to a second interview

“According to a 2019 USDA report, every dollar in new SNAP benefits increases GDP by $1.50 in a weak economy.” “SNAP benefits are one of the fastest, most effective forms of economic stimulus because they get money into the economy quickly during a recession.” ~Center for Budget and Policy

Now might be a good time to learn about the HUAC (House Un-American activities Committee) if you don’t know much about it. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_U...

-A living wage -Guaranteed healthcare -The right to join a union -The right to vote -The right to choose when, how, and with whom you start a family -The right for you and your family to live free from gun violence These are the foundations of real freedom.

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.

Useful outline. Whether u agree or not, it is common throughout history to use false provocations for an excuse/pretext to war.

Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s. This is what real journalism should do — hold power to account, not capitulate to it.

This is the logical outcome of lawlessness and targeting. Shameful

I don't care if Bill Clinton, Dolly Parton or Jesus Christ himself is implicated in the Epstein files. Anyone who committed such crimes should burn. I believe that because I'm not in a cult.

Every day is “Zorp Inc given 3 trillion dollars to launch Blooper Quarks in an effort to create the first artificial intelligence in applesauce manufacturing, universal healthcare still an impossible pipe dream”

"We're going to create superintelligence" How about making outlook search work first. How about that

Her comment is a makes a very good point as well. I don’t think Americans want this kind of police state. It’s terrifying.

Why I like neurodivergent people: directness. Refreshing!

Live your life so that when you die, 10s of millions feel the weight of the torch of hope you lit over your lifetime for the world to carry forward, together

"If we lose hope, we're doomed." We must continue Dr. Jane Goodall's mission and all fight for the future of the planet.

Remember Whole Foods belongs to Amazon now. “Delays are the friend of employers. They undermine worker power, undermine union support and undermine confidence in the government,"

Important story and one of many. I have my own, too. It took me years not to cry when retelling the story and that is obviously because it was horribly traumatic. Women deserve better medical care!

What a nightmare suggestion. The Democratic Party is truly dead but still eating brains I guess.

79. American citizen.

I spend a lot of time thinking about America and caring about kids. Our future is important, and I think all kids deserve a shot. All of them. It is what we are proud of, and we should all put this front of mind.

Practicing medicine without a license is a felony in virtually every state in the U.S. There are differences in the penalty for this crime between individual states but it is a FELONY. I think this reminder is necessary especially now.

And I would add insurers will cease funding for anything they can get away with; this is the perfect excuse.

“Who’s going to pay for universal healthcare, affordable housing & social supports? You???” This is always asked as a gotcha. As though the person expects me to recoil and say of course not. The answer is Yes. I would happily pay my fair share to ensure everyone is cared for.

Let’s all reset. Most things should not be profit driven: Love, friendship, loyalty, education, health, birth, death, thinking, laughing, reading, singing, helping out your fellow humans—should not be contingent on whether they make money.

Deafening silence sums it up. Where are all of our former “leaders”? Gosh maybe it was always all just about money. 💰 might be how we got here, huh?

How's everyone doing this morning? Got your reading material downloaded, your emotional support beverages at hand? We can do this, I believe in us.

Tipping culture is just a way of making working class people fight each other over scraps, instead of demanding more from businesses owners.

100% agree. As we understand something better, by studying it, we as humans learn and understand more detail and nuance. Neurodivergence is all over the place, and it is collectively a strength, not a weakness. Also where are the Epstein files? Those kids aren’t getting any less raped.

If only we had some way of know what things were really true. Some system of testing over time, where we could build up our knowledge about the best way to do things...

Just remember: keep your side of it clean (when you can) help those in need stay funny (really funny when you can) and there’s not one single reason to put up with bad faith bullshit.

Fall. You know what to do.

“We must be honest even if we are disliked, and seek truth amid corruption, the rejection of solidarity and the denial of transparency,” he said. “We must also defend human rights while the blaring horns of power claim that human rights are a mechanism to defend criminals.”
