Tip from @snowjob.bsky.social

If you have a whitehouse.gov link you want to access and it is down, try replacing "www.whitehouse.gov" with "bidenwhitehouse.archives.gov"

Since Monday, Trump has:

-Halted civil rights investigations
-Suspended public health advisories
-Frozen infrastructure spending on roads and bridges
-Rescinded an executive order prohibiting discrimination by federal contractors

CEO Pay Has Risen 1,085% Since 1978, But for Workers? Just 24% | Common Dreams CEOs at top US companies saw their pay skyrocket by 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay only increased by 24%

100%? 500%?

Try 1,085%

Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

A little piece of knowledge that touched me years ago when I first heard about it: In Japan, people who arrive early to work park further away from the entrance so that those who arrive later can arrive on time.

Our world needs more of this lived compassion. Much, much more.

We live in a country where the incoming president is an unrepentant convicted felon serial sexual abuser who’s stacking his cabinet with sex traffickers, rapists & pedophiles, but at least we’re protecting our kids from all those books in which the main character has two mommies.
