The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020 — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%. It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low. We must unrig the system.

A truck driver working 40-hour weeks to make $50,000 a year pays about $3,800 in federal income tax. An 8% rate. An investor earning the same $50,000 in long-term capital gains pays $0. Work gets punished. Wealth gets rewarded. This tax code is a scam.

Pink slips do NOT poll well. A 32 point net approval collapse on jobs. Trump's signature issue, the one he bragged about nonstop. Turns out promising factories but delivering pink slips doesn’t poll well. Shocking!Inflation wasn’t the whole story; jobs sank him too. Numbers don't lie. Trump does.

Libraries make us a harder target for authoritarianism. Equal access to info, ideas, and space that doesn’t require a purchase to belong. Also: using the library means money stays in your community instead of streaming out to Amazon. 📚 What’s checked out on your card right now?

I remember watching this when it aired live in September, 1976, the Muppet Show's first season. I didn't know who Rita Moreno was, only that she was amazing. She won a Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Individual Performance in a Variety or Music Program. Happy Sunday Funday! 🥵

BACK TO THE FUTURE (1985) was rejected by more than 40 studios before finally getting the green light. Most believed the film was either too family-friendly or not edgy enough to succeed. They couldn't have been more wrong.

Billy, the music loving dog is taken to the music hall filled with musicians practicing and listens for the sound that pleases him the most. It’s the cello. 🎻 He lays down basking in the waves of sounds he chose out of all the others. Music is the universal language. #DogsofBluesky #MusicSky

"A concentration camp, in its most basic definition, is a place where a targeted civilian population, not necessarily accused of a crime, is detained and at least some of their basic rights are suspended," writes @jwashing.bsky.social. "That’s precisely what’s happening in the United States today."
