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.

Hochul won’t remove Adams but can wage war on a college job listing. Fucking joke of a governor.

If you're protesting tomorrow:

"I invoke my rights to silence and counsel and will not answer questions without my attorney present."

MEMORIZE THAT, because aside from asking if you're free to leave (or providing ID if you're in a stop and ID state), that's the ONLY thing you ever say to cops.

Home with a 103 fever. Exhausted all my sick time and January isn’t over. Was furloughed for one week this month and furloughed for another week coming up in July. This is going to be a fun year.

Not that we don’t need it now, because we absolute do, but it’s kind of funny seeing so many activists…who, you know, forgot to be active these last four years.

Elon being an open piece of shit gesturing the quiet part out loud and spineless CNN calling it an “odd-looking salute.” Is it any wonder we are back here?
