Corporate America’s playbook: 1) Exploit workers to maximize profits 2) Use profits to buy Congress 3) Use Congress to pass union-busting laws 4) Use union-busting laws to further exploit workers 5) Rinse and repeat How we break this cycle? Build back a powerful labor movement.

Apparently people are sharing this far and wide on social media, which I think is horrible. This could cripple ICE operations. PLEASE do not share this.

Tim Cook donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration. He fawned over Trump and gifted him a 24-karat gold plaque (as Apple lobbied for tariff exemptions). Apple donated to Trump’s White House ballroom. And it removed ICE tracking apps from its stores following a demand from the DOJ. Remember this.

Leo is himself a tough, effective, and fascinating politician. But the longer he's in, the clearer it becomes how Francis set him up as a successor. This is one of the most important political stories in many years, and the nature of the church means I doubt we'll get its full extent.

HOLY SHIT DUDES fucking with the environment is now not just a sin (which Francis also said), it is classed as a direct fuck-you to God and a central tenet of the reasoning is the need to care for "our common home," i.e. you are morally obligated to think about the other people who also live here

The Guardian once asked me 'what one change would you make to achieve Black equality in Britain?' and it feels appropriate to share my answer again

Athena Kugblenu: Allow Black people to be mediocre too!
Athena Kugblenu
I would like to replace #blackexcellence with #blackmediocrity. True equality is when our talent:recognition ratio is allowed to be as broad as white people’s. Lewis Hamilton had to win two Formula One titles before he bagged BBC Sports Personality of the Year in 2014; Greg Rusedski only had to get battered by Pat Rafter to win his. Kwasi Kwarteng steered the economy towards an iceberg and got sacked. Jeremy Hunt drove the NHS over a cliff, now he’s chancellor. Don’t get me started on how many football clubs get ruined by freshly retired white footballers while very qualified Black managers are overlooked. When the arc of the moral universe bends towards Black people failing upwards as their peers do, we will be in the promised land.

Just begging people to let it set in that even with the worst president in US history earning that title every day, a half billion dollars dumped into these elections by an amoral scammer, who may be the greatest con man who ever lived, can actually affect said elections if not effectively combated.

Let me get this straight... Trump is blocking $1B in Medicaid payments to blue states over spurious accusations of mass fraud. Meanwhile, he's literally pardoned over 70 convicted fraudsters — including a nursing home owner who stole over $1.3B from Medicare and Medicaid. Hello?

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or simply sought better lives for themselves and their descendants. Donald Trump wants to stoke so much fear and hatred that people forget this. Do not.
