Your Prime Day reminder that half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food & housing costs.

A third have had to rely on government assistance like SNAP — which is about to get cut.

If Bezos can spend $50M on a wedding, Amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity.

Hochul won’t remove Adams but can wage war on a college job listing. Fucking joke of a governor.

Israel And Its Apologists Weaponize Sympathy In Order To Facilitate Genocide Listen to a reading of this article (reading by Tim Foley):

Israel And Its Apologists Weaponize Sympathy In Order To Facilitate Genocide

This is something to keep in mind as Israel and its apologists work to whip up public sympathy using dead Israeli children in order to reignite the genocide in Gaza.

The NYT will just hire any asshole with a bad take and lack of critical thinking skills to just write nonsense

If you're protesting tomorrow:

"I invoke my rights to silence and counsel and will not answer questions without my attorney present."

MEMORIZE THAT, because aside from asking if you're free to leave (or providing ID if you're in a stop and ID state), that's the ONLY thing you ever say to cops.

I think so! Between that but also the more modern production/cgi - which seemed to grab my kids’ attention which made them more willing to watch “really old movies” when we reached 4-6

Home with a 103 fever. Exhausted all my sick time and January isn’t over. Was furloughed for one week this month and furloughed for another week coming up in July. This is going to be a fun year.

I agree that Shock Doctrine is a devastating read. I still haven’t read Doppelganger but have been meaning to.

Not that we don’t need it now, because we absolute do, but it’s kind of funny seeing so many activists…who, you know, forgot to be active these last four years.

That’s what I’m talking about! Such a blatant gesture. And CNN’s timid reporting on it is so gross
