Amazon announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.
UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.
Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

This is simply untenable. There is no way forward with media and political classes captured by the right. Every time someone commits a crime you have to pray it's not an undesirable or it's purge time, then when it turns out to be themselves again they just shrug and wait for the next one.

Wait, you're all still talking about some shooting that happened 2 days ago? That's like 25 shootings ago in America time.
I'd already forgotten all about it.

Texas GOP Rep. Giovanni Capriglione...the same man who rammed through a six‑week abortion ban...has been exposed: a 17‑year affair and allegedly paid for multiple abortions. These aren't leaders...they're hypocrites in power. If that doesn’t make you furious, you’re not awake.

So the Kerr County, Texas commissioners refused Federal ARPA funds for emergency warning systems because of “communism” and the result was they killed over 200 people…
This is what hate and GOP rhetoric does to your brain.
It’s deadly.

By 2030, 1 in 4 women in developed countries will remain childfree.
Up to 45% will be single by choice.
Society will frame this as a crisis.
Governments will panic over birth rates.
This is about choice though…
It's about women walking away from the roles that kept men comfortable and powerful.

Brooke Rollins said the quiet part out loud: No amnesty. Mass deportations. Medicaid recipients forced to replace immigrant labor. It’s a blueprint for a low-wage police state—deport the workers, punish the poor, automate the rest. America, powered by cruelty, not dignity.

Black women are the most educated demographic in America.
More degrees per capita than any other group, including white men and white women.
And still, they’re among the most underpaid.
More educated, less paid. Overqualified, underestimated, and undervalued. Every time.
