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?

While Americans go hungry, President Donald Trump was partying it up.
The president spent Friday night hosting a Great Gatsby–themed Halloween celebration at Mar-a-Lago, just hours before tens of millions of low-income Americans were set to lose access to food stamps.

Establishment Democrats are more obsessed with stopping a New York Mayor candidate in their own party than stopping the illegal operations of Ice. Its time to gut the DNC and bring in new blood, we should have done this as soon as Hillary lost years ago.

NEW: ICE agents in Spokane shattered car windows as people inside screamed “she’s pregnant!”
Scared, they all pulled out their phones to record, shouting “This is illegal.”
One person was dragged to the ground and shocked w/ a stun gun.

Do people not understand what’s happening with the Eric Adams thing? The memo instructing the prosecution to be dropped explicitly said it was because he was carrying out the president’s agenda. It was “you’re working for me, so we’re letting you go.” It was an explicitly corrupt bargain

This is not just a musing from a dude with some various ideas. The next step is to hollow out the judiciary and also not follow their rulings, which have been against Musk’s efforts. This is a very obvious coup, for those not paying attention.

Trump is sending cameras & high up officials to terrorize the very communities he campaigned in. Meanwhile, he’s cutting essential services that keep food on the table for working families. This tells us exactly what to know about Trump and the harm that he will cause to NYers.
NEW: Trump's new DHS secretary, Kristi Noem, said she is in New York City to oversee an immigration enforcement operation.
She published a video of at least one arrest.
Still few details, but her spox says there are "multiple" operations.
