Do We Have To

Amazing

A black and white photo from 1933 showing a large group of people protesting on the WA state capitol steps. The caption reads: "People closing in the Legislative Building during the Hunger March, January 1933. General Subject Collection, Washington State Archives, Digital archives"

Looks like this is coming back around

I am once again saying that we saw what wall to wall, panic coverage of a crisis looked like after the Biden debate and there’s no reason Trump isn’t getting that kind of coverage except for class solidarity.

Here we go! www.trumpcancelledmyflight.com

Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol made $95.8 million in 2024.

The median barista made just $14,674.

That's a 6,666-to-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio.

The largest of all S&P 500 companies.

Every single worker should walk out.

Americans deserve a livable wage. Enough!

Don't get your coffee at Starbucks!

Today's constitutional crisis

Still thinking about Zohran’s full-throated defense of immigration and how long i’ve waited for it. No bullshit about border security or “legal” immigrants but just unabashed support for immigrants. How many people feel so much more seen today? I know I do. 1/

Yes!!

The website for Musk's "virtual companion" describes her as

"Beautiful gothic lolita style with golden twin tails"

🤮

Wow.

"Anime Character Design: Beautiful gothic lolita style with golden twin tails"

ICE vehicle hits the car of a US citizen on her way to work. Agents then drag her from her vehicle, kidnap her, and release her w/out charges hours later while blaming her for injuring officers

I was going to ask which one, but then I thought, "Do I want whichever song it is to be stuck in my head for the next three days?"

I do not. Whatever song I pick up while shopping is already bad enough!

Photo of armed customs and border patrol agents and cars on the plaza in front of the Japanese American National Museum in Little Tokyo.

We are outraged and deeply distressed that armed federal agents came onto our campus—making arrests on the very ground where, in 1942, Japanese American families were forced to board buses bound for concentration camps. It was a deliberate act of provocation and intimidation.

He literally hosted a Gatsby-themed party while cutting off basic food aid to millions.

When I worked in WaPo Opinions in 2017-2018, senior editors specifically told junior editors not to factcheck Marc Thiessen and other MAGA columnists, otherwise they wouldn’t be able to publish anything by them at all, and “we need them for intellectual diversity.”

I’m still shocked that stories like this which come out daily still get largely ignored. The most corrupt person to ever hold any public office in US history. I will keep posting them every day and try to amplify them, even when most media doesn’t care. www.wsj.com/finance/curr...

Gestapo says what?

those of you who are afraid of aging, please understand that one of the huge blessings of middle age is arriving at this exact station

Why is it that every disappeared US citizen is not front page news? At the very least we should have a little box with a count of the number of citizens who have been taken away and are not locatable and a link to a story with photos & min-bios, just as we used to do with military casually figures.

Too many Americans either didn’t care or didn’t believe. Hopefully they do now.👇

"Texas Dept of Agriculture announces that they are still receiving federal funding for free school meals, so those will not be arbitrarily ended"

FTFY

I saw an ad yesterday that spins the entire government shutdown/rising ACA rates as "greedy insurance companies"

As in, "greedy insurance companies are shutting down the government because they want to charge you more"

I despise whoever made this.

JB Pritzker creating the “Illinois Accountability Commission” isn’t getting enough attention. Its focus is on immigration agents & it will document abuses, capture impacts on families and communities, & recommend actions to prevent further harm. We need more of these nationwide.

"Not only is Donald Trump not here, not negotiating, Mike Johnson has now shut down the House for 39 consecutive days. There's no one to negotiate with. Across town, Trump is building a $300 million ballroom while he is set to let Americans starve."

The President is refusing to spend a cent of emergency funds to keep SNAP benefits from running dry, but he did move heaven and earth to send $40 billion to bail out Argentina.

He's talking about a cognitive test for dementia.

Look at Mike Davis badmouthing the US military members

After listening to the Ezra Klein episode on the urban/rural divide, I thought that this kind of party machine w/ benefits organizing is exactly what's needed everywhere - but especially in red counties

The only way to beat the Fox News/evangelical propaganda is by helping people face to face
