Jeff Bezos has $222 billion.

If he paid my wealth tax this year, we could fund insulin in America for everyone who needs it plus free school lunch for every kid in Texas—and have plenty of money left over.

And Bezos would still have $215 billion dollars to spare.

every time i write about wage theft i do a double take because it's so crazy

corporations steal more than $50 bn from workers' paychecks each year, illegally paying workers less than they earned for their labor

that significantly exceeds the combined losses from larceny, burglary, & vehicle theft

Los Angeles Bluesky, I need your help. I just learned that on Saturday at the protest at the downtown Metropolitan Detention Center, a friend’s 18-year-old son was shot in the eye with a pepper ball by DHS, permanently blinding him. He needs justice. If you were there and saw anything, please… 1/5

Some Marines graduate without their parents' presence amid ICE fears News that ICE would be stationed outside Marine Corps graduation events upended family plans, elicited national reaction and drew out protesters, including Marine veterans.

“They were going to come. It was going to be a big thing. We were going to go to the beach right after. All those plans had to go out the window because they said ICE would be here."

Red Lobster went bankrupt because of private equity, not shrimp.

"CEO Said A Thing!" Journalism "CEO said a thing!" journalism involves parroting the claims of a business leader or executive with absolutely no context, correction, or challenge whatsoever, no matter how elaborate the delusion.

Over at the newsletter I wrote about the unholy scourge that is "CEO said a thing!" journalism:

I know I’m a broken record on this but:

A handful of law profs are engaging in an effort to convince the Supreme Court to accept a reactionary administration’s effort to redefine American citizenship and render countless children stateless.

San Diego woman says her credit card information was stolen while she was in ICE custody Hanne Engan, whom ICE arrested at her green card appointment, said her diabetes quickly escalated while at Otay Mesa Detention Center due to medical negligence. Written by Kate Morrissey, Edited...

This story is insane. Married an American, arrested at her greencard interview, flown out of state, nearly killed multiple times when her diabetes was ignored and then mistreated. When she finally got out? Found out her credit card had been used illegally. www.daylightsandiego.org/san-diego-wo...

On the flip side, I am truly glad that the Disney parks are as accessible to wheelchairs as they are. Much easier to navigate than competing theme parks and zoos.

I have questions for MrBeast.

United Airlines and the flight attendant union have reached a tentative labor agreement that will take top pay to $100/hr by the end of the contract.

Flight attendants will also finally be paid during boarding if this agreement is ratified.

What if, and I know I’m reaching here, we combined corn and dogs into a new dish? We could call it dog corns.

Inescapable ICE: The Dawning of an Overt Police State The President has a fascist secret police. They'll be everywhere soon if we don't stop them

Fascism feeds off rot and corruption and takes over parts of liberal democracy as it dies off.

ICE in airports is an escalation of the efforts to extend the presence of fascist violence and oppression into every aspect of our lives.

If you spot ICE agents at an airport in the coming days, I want to hear from you.
