A concert photograph shows the singer Kesha holding a mannequin head styled to look like her own. The singer is dressed in a white corset and wrapped in white fabric. She is framed by backlit silhouettes of hands in the foreground.

94% of teachers have had to dip into their own pockets to buy school supplies. An estimated 1 in 6 have second jobs during the school year to make ends meet.

The average Wall Street employee got a record $244,700 bonus last year.

Something has gone terribly wrong.
