96% of the highest-paid workers in the US have paid sick days.
Just 38% of the lowest-paid workers get them — including the thousands of retail workers working this holiday weekend.
Only in America do we call working people ‘essential’ but deny them paid sick leave.

When this is over, every single Trump sign must come down from our skylines, and the family should be entirely prohibited from entering business. All their businesses, properties, assets, liquidated. The web of Trump’s family crime syndicate must be dissolved. Release the damn files.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.
Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.
Four giants control 80% of meat processing.
A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.
The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

We must turn "trickle-down" economics into a deluge of wealth transfer from the oligarchy to the people.
SNAP is a lifeline for workers in low-wage jobs.
Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.
Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps.
Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

Several Republican state senators in Indiana have blocked Governor Mike Braun’s attempts to gerrymander.
Here is a quote from one them, Spencer Deery. It is a relief to know that some Republicans seem to understand the purpose of elections…albeit rarely.
Trump is furious about it.

Great news. This is what an ICE agent looks like in a mugshot. Meet Gerardo Rodriguez, 45, of Temecula, courtesy of the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office. Arrested for "illegally detaining a minor at gunpoint while off duty last week." 🧵

In 16th cen Florence, the Uffizi (now a famous art museum but originally the Offices of the Medici) were connected to the family's Pitti Palace by a passageway--the Vasari Corridor--that ran across the Arno. This made it possible to avoid people when commuting.

Learning loss didn’t come from “lockdowns” or remote instruction.
It COMES FROM (still happening) illness.
Illness caused by COVID.
Illness that makes kids miss school and teachers miss teaching.
SICK DAYS. And the vascular damage that causes incapacity to think & retain.
This is still happening.

Every time Covid and learning loss hits the news, people act like the only factor is folk staying home and learning online, rather than… Living through a global mass death event.
