CEO pay is up 1,094% since 1978, while worker pay is up just 26%.

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"?

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.

A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.

The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

@theusasingers.bsky.social Hello. Please come back to twitter. Your voice is sorely missed 😀

$20 billion to Argentina for their failing economy, but no money for American healthcare, education, infrastructure, social security, or living wages.

Make America Great Again?

America first?

How will the MAGA cult rationalize this?

Make Argentina Great Again

What’s cool about Amelia Earhart is that Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and Peter Thiel are in the Epstein Files.

Amelia Earhart never flew to Epstein Island, but Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and Peter Thiel sure did.

“We have the money, the power, the medical understanding, the scientific know-how, the love, and the community to produce a kind of human paradise, but we are led by the least among us - the least intelligent, the least noble, the least visionary.”

The Chan-Zuckerbergs stopped funding social causes. 400 kids lost their school. Priscilla Chan and Mark Zuckerberg’s retreat from funding social issues forced the closure of a school Chan opened for disadvantaged families in Silicon Valley.

Priscilla Chan’s decision to stop funding the school she opened to help struggling families shows the risks for communities reliant on wealthy private donors.

People that call him "Mr President" make me cringe. That SOB incited a mob and championed an insurrection. He deserves zero respect.

BREAKING: Senator Warnock calls Big Beautiful Bill “Socialism for the Rich”.

100% true!

Warnock: If I'm honest, there are days when I have to ask people of my faith tradition as a Christian, are we reading the same book? 

The book I know says I was hungry and you fed me. I was sick, I was in prison and you visited me, I was a stranger and you welcomed me….

Last day of ALA! Stop by Otto’s Book Bonanza for the hottest deals on mystery fiction. We won’t be undersold!! Booth 228

Jim Banks on Medicaid cuts: "Let's make sure that people who are able-bodied go to work every day and don't get things for free."

Yeah if I thought there was even a 5% chance of being renditioned to Gitmo or El Salvador for the crime of leaving my passport at the hotel, I would simply not travel. This is going to kill tourism.

Trump’s Fury at Gavin Newsom Backfires—and Reveals His Own Weakness The media has it wrong. Trump is not coming across as fearsome and strong. Instead, his watch-me-play-fascist-on-TV routine is self-evident overkill.

Awful: News orgs are credulously amplifying the ugly idea that sending troops into LA is good politics for Trump. This gives his lawless abuses of power the aura of conventional politics, obscuring how extraordinary and dangerous this moment truly is. 1/

We have to fill the streets in numbers too big to count! History shows that mass peaceful protests make a difference! If you are close to a protest now - GO! If you need to plan then go on June 14th. There are 1800+ protests planned that day! www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

Yes. Also…

Myles Garrett didn't mince words when asked about the fact that Aaron Rodgers is now in the Browns' division 😅

Good morning friends. This kid is spot on 👏🏼💙

I 💙 soccer.

LA soccer fans unfurled an "Abolish ICE" banner at an MSL game. 🔥🔥🔥

I never thought I would say anything nice about Richard Nixon, but at least he had the decency to leave office when he knew he had crossed the line.

America allowed the dumbest people on Earth to destroy it from within. Painful.
