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.

Undocumented immigrants pay almost $100 billion in taxes each year.

The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes each year.

Stop pretending that immigrants are the ones taking advantage of taxpayers.

This is wrong. These fascists are bound to lose.
EVERYBODY WATCH.

ICE IS OUT OF CONTROL.

Video of SEIU California’s President David Huerta getting assaulted & arrested during an ICE raid in the warehouse district of Downtown Los Angeles today.

He’s an LA native, American citizen and labor leader.

Don’t turn away.

Sucks that a TV show about a 50 year old movie is more capable of depicting fascism accurately than the NEWS.

Chi doesn’t just fight for a future New Yorkers can afford, he delivers it. I’m honored to have his endorsement.

Chi knows we deserve better than Andrew Cuomo and the broken politics of the past. This June 24, let’s turn the page. Together.
In this political moment, our city needs someone with the energy to stand up to Donald Trump and an inspirational vision of the most our city can be. That’s why I’m endorsing @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social for mayor.

We will not be distracted.
We will not be discouraged.
We’ve got our eyes on the prize.

And we will build the prosperous, free nation for all that we deserve.

The time to organize is now.

“The problem is that asking the right questions requires the opposite of having zero education. . . The reality — and the science — is clear that learning is a messy, nonlinear human development process that resists efficiency. A.I. cannot replace it.”

A.I. is just what we need in the post-fact era: less research and more predicting what we want to hear.

If you'd like to support your fave authors in 2025 but you're skint, you could:

- make a social media post about the book, just as basic as "i enjoyed this" and a picture (don't forget alt-text)

- rec it in a relevant reddit thread or Goodreads forum or Facebook group

Word of mouth has an impact!
