Kroger, which wants to buy yet ANOTHER grocery chain: -Ranks among the largest companies with employees dependent on Medicaid & SNAP -Paid its CEO $14M last year, 417x its median worker's pay of just $34,552 -Spent $12.3B on stock buybacks since 2019 This is what corporate greed looks like.

We are projected to spend $268 BILLION on deportations — costing the average American taxpayer about $2,358 (according to @epi.org). But somehow we “can’t afford” to make sure hungry children can eat or ensure everyone, no matter their income, can access healthcare. Priorities.

The fact that not only are we selling tracts of our beautiful national parks to INTERNATIONAL mining companies, but also bringing back (previously banned) murdering wildlife by cyanide injections hidden in bait to rid said parks of natural wildlife is literally making me nauseous from anger.

Trump’s attack on the American mind — on education, science, libraries, and museums — is an attack on the capacity of Americans for self-government. Democracy depends on people knowing what’s occurring around them and having the capacity to deliberate critically about it.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

Meta just paid the lowest effective federal tax rate in its history. Thanks to tax breaks and loopholes, it avoided $13.7B in 2025 federal income taxes. But now it's planning to lay off 10% of its global workforce (8,000 people) by May 20 — with more job cuts later this year. Trickle down hoax.
