Your Prime Day reminder that half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food & housing costs.

A third have had to rely on government assistance like SNAP — which is about to get cut.

If Bezos can spend $50M on a wedding, Amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott being insensitive during a time of death and destruction? Sounds about right.

Hey Abbott: how about apologizing to those that are suffering right now?

Maybe you can use some more football metaphors to ease their pain.

Homeland Security officials said it was an immigration enforcement operation, though it was unclear if anyone had been arrested. trib.al/JYW5IsU

BREAKING NEWS: A federal judge has determined that the Trump Administration has violated his order that stopped his spending freeze on federal grant programs.

Trump has just been ordered to immediately unfreeze funds, including for the National Institute of Health.

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

Trump can’t end birthright citizenship constitutionally but that’s not the point. He’s giving people permission to police who seems to be American or not and by “American” they mean white. Vance’s family will get targeted because they’re not white. They’re already getting some of it.
