Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024. In 2025, he made 1,794x more. And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers? I will continue my boycott of Starbucks.

Donald Trump’s administration falsely labeled birth control as “abortion.” And then they wanted to LITERALLY set millions of dollars' worth of contraception on FIRE. Contraception is under attack, too. We’ve got to speak up and fight back.

How much could my school district save if they switched from diesel powered school buses to BEV buses? It works out to somewhere between $5,000 to $9,000 per vehicle or $265,000 to $522,000 per year depending on performance, fuel costs, and fleet size assuming 12,000 miles driven per year. 🧪🔌💡☀️💨💧🔋
A BlueBird diesel school bus get 7 to 10 MPG, while a BlueBird BEV school bus gets 0.72 to 0.66 miles/kWh or 24.3 to 22.3 eMPG. For diesel at $6.67/ US gallon and electricity at $0.159 the diesel buses costs 66.7 to 95.3 cent/mile to drive while the BEV school bus would cost 22.1 to 24.1 cents/mile to dive. That translates into costs of $8,002 to $11,432 for diesel or $2,650 to $2,891 for the electric buses assuming 12,000 miles driving.

A chart showing the rate of deaths after an ectopic pregnancy, comparing states that banned abortion after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022 with those that did not. At the start of the chart, in 2014, the rate is higher in states with abortion bans, but the rates in the two groups of states are not far apart. The rate increases in both groups of states, but the climb is much steeper in states that banned abortion.
