What do these corporations have in common?
Netflix
Ford
Tesla
T-Mobile
Duke Energy
DISH Network
Metlife
Dominion Energy
United States Steel
In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes.
This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

New map produced by RTVE, Spanish national TV, of the 6000 mass graves in Spain. In the last 25 years some 17,000 bodies of men, women and children have been exhumed out of the ~120,000 dumped in mass unmarked graves by the Franco regime.

All change at the Windsor Estate. The Andrew formerly known as Prince is out, as are plebs, excluded from a 150-acre zone, and Charles is freshening up his private garden with the addition of a statue of Hercules. He personally oversaw its removal from its iconic setting in Kews Garden. #NoKingsUK!
The curious case of the King and the statue
A statue of Hercules admired by millions has disappeared from Kew Gardens. Why has Charles decided to remove a prime piece of public art?

There don’t seem to be that many of us, but, you know, it’s the birding community, so manage your expectations. 🤣

📢NEW WATER BILL could shake up how England & Wales manage water. Tackling pollution, climate risks, and who owns water companies. Here’s what’s inside the draft law:
