After buying it for $18.8 billion, Walgreens' new private equity owner has eliminated paid holidays for all hourly workers on Christmas and New Year's.
Last year, Walgreens had a CEO-to-Worker pay gap of 410 to 1.
Corporate greed that would make even Scrooge blush.

Chicago, I don't ask you for much, just more accountability of CPD, more taxes on the super wealthy, no Paul Vallas types as mayor and naming a snowplow Abolish Ice. Let's make this happen.

Chocolate's reign over Halloween is under threat from inflation, tariffs and high cocoa prices
Chocolate prices soar nearly 30% this Halloween, pushing shoppers toward gummies and sour treats as cocoa costs and inflation haunt candy aisles.

@stephaniemiller.bsky.social as a follow up to my email, here’s just a little bit of what’s been happening at my local Home Depot. Coincidence that a large MAGA donor would allow fascist thugs to kidnapped citizens in their stores? 🤔

@stephaniemiller.bsky.social What’s going on in my beloved Chicago is breaking my heart. We are not okay. I love my neighbors & our diversity; ICE is destroying the fabric that makes this city so beautiful. We’ll persevere, we are the city of broad shoulders, but this is going to be a marathon.

This will take less than five minutes and will truly pressure your local elected officials to stand with the people rather than ICE.

The animal most in need of "rewilding" is us. I spent some time tracking mountain lions in the Pacific Northwest, getting close to these frightening but magical apex predators. Here's why bringing them back to the East would be good for us. Gift link. wapo.st/3KksTqC
Column | I got nose-to-nose with a mountain lion. It was scary – and magical.
Restoring these big cats to their historical range in the United States could help the environment and us.

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide.
As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire.
End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

My family escaped Ukraine from the pogroms and were lucky enough to escape to the US.
They took my family in — we had nothing and offered nothing, but a desire to get ahead and be free while being safe.
This is a country of immigrants, and we should be honoring that history.

Illinois State Senator Karina Villa sprang into action to protect her community from ICE raids, alerting neighbors to their rights and chasing off masked agents. This is how you stand up to authoritarianism. We should all be inspired by Sen. Villa's courage.
