Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.
This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.
And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?

Pretty impressive that through this entire scandal and press blitz, RFK Jr. hasn't lost focus on his life's work of shortening the life expectancy of the average American and endangering the lives of children.

Who would have thought that electing a convicted felon president would mean that he would be a lawless president who issues unlawful orders? 🤔

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.
Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.
Do not.

“Ah, just one more thing, sir. You’re blowing up those boats, saying they’re filled with drugs headed for the US. But then you go and pardon the guy who brought in 400 tons of cocaine. That’s billions of doses. Help me understand that.”

One of the best reviews I ever got compared me to Tom Stoppard which f***ing crazy but oh so flattering. One of the greats has left us with an amazing body of work. Smart, funny, intellectual but deeply human.

As a white person who moved to CA (which used to be part of Mexico,) I am happy to assimilate. So this MAGA drive to get the Latinos out of CA, wtf are people talking about? (Yes, I know this racist is talking about Muslims now but their rhetoric makes no sense.)
Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization

We did a roast beef growing up. But now I do a Peking style duck/chicken now that I’m in charge.
it fascinates me how most everyone in the U.S. does turkey for Thanksgiving, but we are all over the map as to what we eat for Christmas (as is proper for a hugely diverse nation).
I come from a Christmas prime rib roast family, myself.

I also use the bacon method. Although turkey is Christmas dinner where I come from.

The National Guard shooting in DC is a tragedy, especially when you consider that there’s ZERO reason for them to be there.

There are worse examples of gaslighting obviously but the idea that Kristi Noem is hot and RFK Jr is sexy are two of the most galling examples of “you’re trying to make me think …what?”
