I'm going to restrict myself to one (two part) comment, which is:

1) the entire range runs from execs making 290x what their workers make to execs making 350x what their workers make, and

2) this should frame everything else such execs encourage you to be mad about

Not taking anything away from Senator Padilla because he was treated atrociously

But I JUST want to remind everyone that the Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Black woman, was just indicted for just asking questions at an ICE detention center in her state

Keep that same energy of support for her

You focus must be on the state. The state is the instigator of all violence.

Bragg Soldiers Who Cheered Trump's Political Attacks While in Uniform Were Checked for Allegiance, Appearance As Trump viciously attacked his perceived political foes, he whipped up boos from the gathered troops directed at California leaders, including Gov. Gavin Newsom.

"a pop-up shop โ€ฆ was set up on-site with campaign-style merchandise on Army property. Soldiers were seen purchasing clothing and tchotchkes, including 'Make America Great Again' chain necklaces to faux credit cards labeled 'White Privilege Card: Trumps Everything.'"

Follow this thread to learn how this image was created a few days ago by a proud white supremacist and antisemite who is now crowing about its use by the US government.

Imo, a reason why most people own little wealth in Nordic countries. Fundamentally, wealth is not needed to lead a good life or give your children a future

Trump Officials Seek to Bring First White Afrikaner Refugees to U.S. Next Week

First point to note-- the headline automatically signals that the NYT agrees with Trump's assertion that these White South Africans are facing life-threatening persecution.

2) The story does not give readers context about the international definition of refugee.

Itโ€™s interesting to see what subjects untrained scholars feel they have a responsibility to intervene and pontificate on, and race is always on that listโ€ฆ

While you highlight it, please note is the product of local journalism, which has been carrying a lot of the burden in an environment where national outlets simply can't cover everything everywhere all at once. Support your local journalists!

What do these corporations have in common?

Netflix
Ford
Tesla
T-Mobile
Duke Energy
DISH Network
Metlife
Dominion Energy
United States Steel

In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes.

This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

People don't miss manufacturing jobs. They miss the effects of having 30+ percent union density. And we can build worker power again, with good policies, for the jobs most working class people actually have today rather than hoping mumbo jumbo will make it 1955 again.
