I’ve only posted one GFM, and it’s my intention never to post another. But this one is close to my heart. I know the family personally and have visited with them countless times. If you can help out, it would be great. If not, I completely understand - but a retweet is free.

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.

McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.

Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.

We lost one of the greats. Graham Greene was not only an actor but a trail blazer. He opened doors for so many of us Natives. I'm proud to say that the very first pilot I ever acted in was with Graham Greene. The pilot was never picked up but I get to say that I got to work with one of the greats.

For every idiot like Ted Cruz, Bill Ackerman and Josh Hawley you find at Harvard, there are people like Sabrina Gonzalez Pasterski, a 1st generation American who finished with a 5.0 at MIT and got her doctoral degree in theoretical physics at Harvard. Many people call her the next Einstein.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
