CEO compensation has increased 1,316% since 1978. And worker compensation? Just 28%. The system is rigged. We need to start taxing the rich so they pay their fair share.

If you can stomach it, here's a detailed reported story from @dropsitenews.com on the schoolchildren that the US bombed in Iran. However angry you are, it's not angry enough.

The bombing of an Iranian school, killing 120 children, is one of the worst U.S. war crimes since Vietnam. Drop Site spoke to survivors, first responders, parents, and witnesses. This is their story.

Arnold is also a misinformer. Trump has not “paused” new off-shore wind. That’s misleading. And Keystone XL would bring Canadian crude down to Gulf Coast refineries. Its completion would have very little effect on home energy costs, or even gasoline prices, given Iran — speaking of misleading.

So....there's a lot of tea spilled about a lot of media outlets' willingness to be tools of corporate propaganda in my book. In hindsight, I probably should NOT have been surprised that many of those same outlets declined to run op-eds pegged to the book. But I kinda was! What thin-skinned babies!
