EXCLUSIVE: We found that Instacart is using AI algorithms to charge customers different prices for the same items.
It's not just online. It's in physical grocery stores too.
Our months-long investigation with @consumerreports.org and @groundwork.bsky.social found it could cost families $1200/year.

A bounty? Very slave catcher of them. This league is gonna have to take a stand at some point. There's no "both sides" to this. At some point, racism and transphobia have to be a deal breaker.
From @karleighchardonnay.bsky.social at Outsports:
Jennifer Sey, who said the NWSL had “several males” has issued a $10,000 bounty to the next player to “speak out like Elizabeth Eddy.” An anonymous donor added $5000. Clay Travis said he’d double it.

NYC paraprofessionals are fighting for a $10,000 raise. City Council is listening.
The legislation, supported by 47 of the City Council’s 51 members, would bring relief to thousands of paraprofessionals, whose starting salary is $32,000.

Sanders: Let’s be clear… If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are going to see at least a doubling in their premiums… if resolution is passed tonight, we are on a path way to throw 15 million Americans off of medicaid and the affordable care act, 15 million.

This is what oligarchy looks like:
If you're Elon Musk, the richest man alive, Tesla gives you a $1 trillion pay package & Trump gives you a huge tax break.
If you're a poor kid on SNAP, Trump appeals a court decision that would have prevented you from going hungry.
