The 100 lowest-paying US corporations spent $644B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024.

Buybacks artificially boost share prices and inflate CEO pay.

The typical worker at these companies earned $35k last year.

Meanwhile, the average CEO was paid $17.2M

See the problem?

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens.

Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.

Former Federal Election Commission Chairwoman and End Citizens United Fellow @ellenlweintraub.bsky.social is right. By removing crucial safeguards at the FEC, this administration is paving the way for rampant corruption in our elections.

Jimmy Kimmel:

“Trump is an old-fashioned ’80s-movie-style bully, taking your lunch money ― and if you give it to him once, he’ll take it again. Two things he loves, lunch and money.

"Rooting for this bully... I don't care what side you're on. It's like rooting for Biff in 'Back to the Future.'"

Giving a bully your lunch money is only a temporary downpayment for future bullying.

We ALL need to step up for the first amendment.

By-the-way, for the record, this ex-Disney employee finds Jimmy Kimmel very talented and funny.
