Dear Walmart, Target, Lowe’s, Home Depot, Amazon, Whole Foods, Ford and too many others: THIS is how it’s done! Kudos to Dick’s Sporting Goods! Go shop there!

When Trump was sworn in, Elon Musk's corporations were under more than 32 investigations conducted by at least 11 federal agencies.

Most of the cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the federal agencies are being defanged by DOGE.

Funny how that works, huh?

Remember: If unions didn’t matter, powerful corporations wouldn’t spend millions of dollars every year to stop them from forming. Keep up the fight.

This is good

I don't feel sorry for them at all. They get what they deserve for being assholes.

What a different world we could have.

The 100 lowest-paying major US corporations spent $522B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2023.  

Buybacks artificially boost share prices and inflate CEO pay.

The typical worker at these companies earned just $34k. 

Meanwhile, the average CEO was paid $14.7M.

87% of jobs at Amazon pay less than $20 an hour while half of its warehouse workers struggle to cover food and housing costs.

Is this the "free market" Bezos is so desperate to defend?

Friday February 28 is economic blackout day! Show your displeasure with the way the country is going. Do not buy anything on Friday. If you must, purchase from a local vendor.

Economic Blackout tomorrow! If you need anything, make sure to get it today.

I heard this rumor too.

Hi, it's me again. THIS IS A COUP. AN ACTUAL COUP.

Not a drill, not a test, just a COUP. We are experiencing a coup in the United States, and the fact that we're not acting like that's an emergency is a problem.

IT IS DAY 38 OF THIS COUP.

So increasing the minimum wage to a livable wage is “socialism”?

But Amazon union busting, keeping wages low, and forcing workers onto public assistance while its founder increases his net worth by $7.9M an hour is the "free market"?

Perhaps this could be a WaPo opinion piece.

Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

Doge staffers enter Noaa headquarters and incite reports of cuts and threats Members reportedly sought access to IT systems at agency that Project 2025 has called ‘harmful to US prosperity’

DOGE is reportedly threatening NOAA with massive staff and budget cuts.

NOAA houses the National Weather Service and National Hurricane Center, which produce forecasts and warn people about storms.

This attack on public safety is ripped straight from the pages of Project 2025.

RONALD REAGAN (1988): We should be aware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"
