96% of the highest-paid workers in the US have paid sick days.
Just 38% of the lowest-paid workers get them — including the thousands of retail workers working this holiday weekend.
Only in America do we call working people ‘essential’ but deny them paid sick leave.

Pop and squish! 🍉 Watermelon is a favorite food for our sanctuary residents, and it can be mesmerizing to watch them bite down on the large treats. As Maia makes a mess of her melon, you can see that she often flaps her ears asynchronously. One ear typically flaps before the other –

In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes.

This is almost word for word what xenophobes in the 1930s and 1940s said about Miller's Jewish ancestors and relatives. He's so hateful he couldn't possibly recognize that of course.
Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization
