With this monopolized media empire comes not just size but unprecedented power. The power to throw workers under the bus. The power to price-gouge because consumers have few alternatives. The power to decide which stories get told, but more importantly, which stories DON'T get told.

ICE arrested the mom of a 9-year-old at a school bus stop in Austin, leaving him alone and crying. The video has profanity and is heartbreaking to watch, but it shows the fear/pain of what happened. This is evil. This is wrong. And it has to stop.

McDonald's is now reportedly pressuring franchisees to use AI to price food. Its CEO raked in $20.6M last year, over 1,000x the median McDonald's worker pay of $19,020. And they remain one of the largest employers of Medicaid and SNAP recipients. I'm not lovin' it.

ICE removes review of in-custody death due to shoddy medical care
Detention center staff devastated The center provided safe standards of medical care to at least six detainees who died in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody in 2025, according to internal comments posted on and later removed from the ICE website. The review found that staff at multiple ICE detention centers mismanaged medications, skipped physical exams, ignored lab orders and delayed treatment for sick detainees.
