Amazon and Walmart are two of the biggest recipients of SNAP and Medicaid funds because they don't take care of their employees. Families working 40+ hours a week requiring gov subsistence. In Canada they go to food pantries to make ends meet.

Happy Halloween. Trickle-down economics is nothing more than a cruel hoax designed to enrich corporations and the super-rich. For working people, it's been 40 years of all trick and no treat. Enough.

Retired couple (teacher & union carpenter) on ACA premiums skyrocketing — from $443/month to $2,224/month: “It's like buying another house and trying to pay for two houses at the same time… without the subsidy we honestly don’t know what we’re gonna do.” #TrumpShutdown

🚨 NOT A DRILL: AI Job Apocalypse
People are literally training AI to take their own jobs.
It might be too late for a lot of us, but if you’re a student or a parent, this is a must-share and a reason to rethink taking on student debt in a field that may be taken over by artificial intelligence.

The 100 lowest-paying US corporations spent $644B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024.
Buybacks artificially boost share prices and inflate CEO pay.
The typical worker at these companies earned $35k last year.
Meanwhile, the average CEO was paid $17.2M
See the problem?

Yesterday, Meta unveiled a new "feed" on its platforms that will exclusively feature AI-generated videos.
This overshadowed another big announcement...
On Tuesday, Meta launched a super new PAC geared towards electing politicians that will block any AI regulation.

Let’s help ‘em out folks.
These brave souls jump out of planes at 3,000 feet to fight fires deep in wild places.
They start out at GS-5 or GS-6.
Few civil servants do so much for so little pay.
Let’s lend our voices— help make sure they get fair pay.
Let’s go night shift 🦉🌲

Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.

Congress should pass the bipartisan BARK Act, my bill to save millions of pounds of perfectly good pet food from the trash and get it to the growing population of hungry shelter dogs and cats.
We can do this. Let’s get it done.

It’s National Adopt a Shelter Pet Day! As most of you know, I’m a passionate advocate for adoption. Not only to save the lives of superb shelter cats like Fergus & Francie, but to withhold money from the commercial breeding world which has done tremendous harm to the health of so many “purebreds”. 💔

In the past four weeks, Costco, which has embraced DEI initiatives, GAINED 7 million shoppers…
Target, which got rid of DEI, LOST 5 million shoppers!
That’s the power we have as consumers.
Remember that.

Supporting local shelters is the way to go! 🐶❤️
The CEO of the ASPCA, Matt
Bershadker makes $1,000,000+ a year.
He's made more than $7,000,000 since becoming CEO.
If you want your donations to help innocent animals instead of millionaires, give to your *local* shelter.

Institutional Resistance Is Futile
It’s time for the Democratic Party to abandon its staid, rules-based resistance to Trumpism and wage a fierce, moral response.
