Peter Weiss was a fearless lawyer who cooked up wildly creative ways of going after the baddies, from Henry Kissinger to corporate criminals. He also had a wicked dry wit.
Grateful to have had the chance to spend time with him during his 99 yrs.

In response to a question about how to solve the polarization that is tearing the world apart, Pope Leo raised the problem of the growing gap between CEO and worker pay. Nice to have a new ally on this front!

OK, I can't claim to have solved our overpaid CEO problem with my decades of exposés. But I have created headaches for their PR flacks. Starbucks declined multiple requests from @msainato.bsky.social of @theguardian.com to comment on our latest report. Ulta and Lowe's flacks also took a pass.

got to join @apwu.bsky.social and other leaders for one of many actions across the country today to save our public Postal Service. @portermcconnell.bsky.social of @ourfinancialsecurity.org gave a hair-raising speech about Wells Fargo's chilling plan to sell off USPS to for-profit corporations.
