CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 325-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

Despite the โ€œceasefireโ€, civilians are being killed regularly by Israel, and life for Palestinians in Gaza is a living hell, says Antony Loewenstein. The westโ€™s political and media class does nothing, apart from supplying arms and diplo cover to genocidal Israel. podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/l...

"Andrรฉ," is a collaborative kinetic sculpture created by artists Amora Doris & Jules Bonnot. It functions as a hand-cranked mutoscope, driving a series of 100 ink illustrations that create a delightful animated scene. IG: @amoradorisplasticienne

"Democratic governors and state legislators need to realize that this is no longer about fairness; itโ€™s about fighting back so that they are not engineered out of the House forever. And I get that Dems donโ€™t have the stomach for this kind of warfare--- find it."

Do the laws not apply to the rich and wealthy? Kleptocracy? Quid pro quo. Bribery. You name it. All of this is wrong and illegal. Shameful.

On the right is someone NFL doctors say is 6โ€™3, 230 lbs with 5% body fat On the left is someone White House doctors say is 6โ€™3, 224 lbs with 4.8% body fat If the White House is THAT dishonest about something so clear, why should we believe anything they say about anything?

After the White House complained about an unflattering photo of Karoline Leavitt, it was removed from AFP and Gettyโ€™s systems. This is the photo in question. Please do not repost it. ๐Ÿ‘‡

This has been the GOP's "starve-the-beast" scheme for nearly 50 years. Meanwhile, millions suffer and struggle to get ahead as the rich get richer. See the problem here?

How in the evershitting fuck is it now a โ€œfar leftist fringe positionโ€ to: - deplore an ongoing genocide, - protest a war criminal visiting federal parliament, - object to powerful men raping & torturing children, & - oppose our Head of State funding & protecting a pedophile brother? #NewsCorpse

โ€œIn Gaza today, we are witnessing not only the collapse of buildings but the dismantling of a civilisationโ€™s ordinary life, the places where people once cooked, learned, played, prayed, and buried their dead.

Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year. UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year. Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.
