People missing an important point about folks getting fired for whatever they said about Charlie Kirk: Americans are being conditioned to be snitches on their fellow citizens who don’t toe a party line on what is “allowed” to be expressed. And employers are going along. It’s the new secret police

Walmart spent $35.3B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024, enough to give each of its 2.2M employees annual bonuses of $2,719.

Last year, Walmart CEO Doug McMillon pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay of just $29,469.

Textbook corporate greed.

The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.

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.

Remember this before you order your next pumpkin spice latte.

Damn. My Mayor KEEPS receipts! I live in IL btw.

An immigrant doesn’t stand between you and a good job.

A billionaire does.

Workers are harvesting tomatoes in CAs San Joaquin Valley. If you listen, you can hear the new technology that has a machine scan their badge to keep count the amount of the buckets they pick. Workers average 160 buckets and get paid 86 cents per bucket. #WeFeedYou

Terminating the union contracts of 400,000 workers at the VA, many of whom are veterans themselves, is union-busting, plain and simple.

VA Secretary Doug Collins: taking away your workers’ union contracts isn’t putting veterans first—it’s putting them at risk.

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%. 

Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

BREAKING: Concession workers at Fenway are on strike.

This is the first walkout in the 113 year history of the Boston Red Sox’s stadium.

These essential workers will be on strike as the World Series champion Dodgers come to town this weekend.

Need this on a tshirt ✊🏽

Today, marks 16 years since the federal minimum wage was last increased. Since then, CEO pay has increased by 91%.

What's the best way to strengthen worker power and secure family-sustaining wages? Get Organized.

CONGRATULATIONS! SOLIDARITY FROM AFSCME.

Got it. I appreciate you clarifying. I'm picking up what you're putting down.

My point is that an IL governor wouldn't be able to deploy troops to CA. Yes he can make a statement in solidarity but that's about it as far as actions.

@adamkinzinger.bsky.social this you? You still have time to delete this. It's ok to be wrong.

Is this satire? Asking for someone who knows how the government works 🤔

At no point in world history has the side with the secret police been the good guys.

Light travels faster than sound, which is why some people appear bright before they open their mouth.
