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.

Products sold by retailers including John Lewis and Very among those cheaper outside of November discount period
Shoppers holding out for a Black Friday bargain on 28 November may not get the best prices, according to Which? research that found none of the offers on the day were at their lowest level over a 12-month stretch.
The consumer group compared prices for 175 home, tech and health appliances across eight retailers, ranging from Amazon to John Lewis. Prices were tracked over a full year, from May 2024 to May 2025, including the 2024 Black Friday period. Continue reading...

Amazon announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.
UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.
Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

While Starbucks baristas strike, we strike too — by not shopping there. This fight isn’t just about coffee.
It’s about dignity, wages, and respect.

Centrist Democrats in the Senate folded on the shutdown, throwing away their leverage in exchange for worthless GOP promises.
When will they learn that there is no center between a government of oligarchs and a government of the people? https://youtu.be/EQzG_TrhyrY?si=LBXGJad9NjGyBGBo
