Former foreign service, current squeaky wheel
These sick fucks need their assets seized on their way to prison. They were repeatedly told what would happen if they did this and they chose to hurt the poor and vulnerable with no benefit whatsoever to the US.

NY AG Letitia James has sued UPS for stealing millions in wages from its seasonal holiday workers.

UPS' CEO made over $24M last year — over 436x her median worker's pay.

This is a reminder that states can step up and protect workers when Trump's federal government refuses to.

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would subject immigrant children to invasive bodily searches and keep them in detention instead of releasing them to their families.

The Senate must vote no on this horrific bill.

This is what Presidential Leadership looks like at the time of an unfathomable American tragedy.

Governors nation wide should send word to the State and Local Police to arrest ICE on sight. If they resist, then their National Guard should be mobilized to bring this terrorist Gestapo under control. American Communities should be protected.

Anyone who doesn’t want him immediately removed from office should be considered an enemy of the United States because he is destroying us.

I have some additional questions Mike.
Yes, what an odd thing to say.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%

Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%

Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.

As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

Amazing!! Women Help Women (womenhelp.org) is manufacturing their own abortion pills in order to make abortion safer, simpler and more accessible across borders. They designed an eco-friendly combi-pack that's easier to mail discreetly and centred around women’s experiences and needs.

If we learn one thing from all this suffering, I hope it’s this. We’ve been brainwashed to perpetuate our own suffering for some mythical America that never existed anywhere.
Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

Only criminals attack the innocent. ICE agents abusing power should be arrested, and so should the man who gave them their orders.

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1 trillion.

Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.

Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed seven straight audits.

This is the military industrial complex on steroids.

BREAKING: Donald Trump goes on a deranged rant claiming countries want him to serve as the leader of Europe.

This level of delusion is not normal.

You know, I'm 70 years old, and I've been thru hell, climbed close to heaven, and touched back down here on Earth, which had everything necessary for humans to thrive. Greed has destroyed much. Maybe it's too late to save it. But we need to try.
