We should all have the backs of Amazon and Starbucks workers who are on strike this holiday season. They deserve better pay, hours, working conditions, and union recognition. Their greedy bosses should stop being Grinches, and grow hearts.

Southern Glazer's, the largest distributor of wine and spirits, may have charged mom & pop shops MORE than big chain stores. That means you pay more when you shop at your local grocer.
The FTC is enforcing a law against illegal price discrimination.

The comments under this thread give me hope. Class consciousness is coming. Medical insurance companies are something everyone has been affected by negatively. Even medical professionals agree that the insurance industry is a problem. They let us die in the name of the dollar. Deny. Defend. Depose.

Not only did Navient push predatory student loans onto people attending fraudulent for-profit colleges—now, they're rejecting 80% of borrowers who apply for relief.
I’m calling on the CFPB and the FTC to ensure Navient cancels debts for all cheated borrowers.

Hundreds of student-loan borrowers who applied for debt cancellation are being denied relief by a major lender, over 20 Democratic lawmakers say
Sen. Elizabeth Warren led some of her colleagues in requesting that the CFPB and FTC bolster oversight over student-loan company Navient.

As someone on the left, speaking to all working class, it's time to put aside our differences and focus attn where it truly belongs at the top. It's time to set aside left vs right. Class consciousness is needed. Working class, it's time to unite against the 1%. Organize and resist. It's time.

So, that was it. Oral arguments in US vs Skrmetti is now in the history books, though the judgement won't come until June.
I haven't read other commentary. Not yet. I wanted to write a thread of my impressions first, and see what the experts are saying afterwards. 🧵
