The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.
They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.

I vote the first step is to make Maralago a migrant retreat and step two restores the East Wing.

Together, we can cut pollution, protect our ecosystems, and keep building economies that work for both people and our planet.
Speak up for free speech. Speak up for free press. Speak up for the freedom of comedians to critique and to call out wrongs.
Resist anyone in government who tries to control the media. No excuse or blaming or demonizing is adequate- itβs the road to the end of democracy.
This white Right on white Right crime in America is a problem.
