Obligatory "hold Amazon accountable for how they treat their workers" post, since yes, I am promoting an Amazon documentary. Gotta hold their feet to the fire!
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.

Another argument AGAINST vouchers. We know these unvaxxed populations are largely home/private schooled. Public school vax requirements help keep deadly outbreaks like this at bay.

Accuracy in reporting is important.
You say: they shutdown USAID.
You mean: they illegally broke in to a secure facility over a weekend, hijacked sensitive data on vulnerable people and US businesses, destroyed property Americans paid for, cut off resources for sick and hungry families, and fired Americans across the country.

One of my absolute favorite people in history! We need a movie made about this incredible man!
Happy Black History Month! Here is my favorite story about a Black American you may not know about: Robert Smalls. He commandeered a confederate ship and sailed himself, his family, and the other enslaved crew and their families to freedom. THROUGH waters controlled by the Confederacy.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

And by "brilliant" they mean "skin that reflects the sun so brightly you can't stare directly at them."
This is how these maniacs are spinning the tragic plane collision.

She said, “May I ask you to have mercy Mr. President on those in our communities whose children fear that their parents will be taken away." If Mike Johnson thinks that’s “radical,” perhaps he has a fundamental misunderstanding of his own religion.
