👉 This lack of ambition is especially disappointing as this will be the last federal government with the chance to make a real difference by 2030 for our citizens, nature, and the climate.

This is what we mean when we talk about corporate greed: Starbucks gave its CEO $96 million for just 4 months of work. Meanwhile, Starbucks is refusing to offer a raise of more than 50 cents an hour to 12,000 union workers.
That's unacceptable. Starbucks must end their greed.

And that's the tale of how all major social media apps were taken over by the right wing ...
As TikTok fights a federal law that bans it in the U.S. unless it is sold, it publicly referenced and thanked President-elect Donald Trump for his support in statements and videos since Friday. It even built its flattery directly into the app so its 170 million American users could see it.
TikTok Butters Up Trump as It Navigates a Ban in the U.S.
The app has repeatedly name checked the president-elect in pop-up messages and statements, as it navigates a ban in the United States unless it is sold to a non-Chinese owner.
