Los Angeles, is this good??? Karen Bass is giving half of our budget to LAPD, while the city has to pay out hundreds of millions in civil liability payouts annually for LAPD violence & misconduct.
The police are literally defunding the city.

Amazon’s CEO contributed just 0.4% of his taxable pay to Social Security last year.
Meanwhile, Amazon’s median-paid worker contributed 6.2%.
Amazon's workers paid a 15x higher rate of their taxable income into Social Security than their CEO.
Scrap the cap.

We allow ourselves to believe we are fighting many individual fights but when the oppressors are all the same, we’re doing ourselves a disservice by self dividing.

The majority of people —56% in the US!—are worried about climate change, but not activated.
