Retiring Walmart CEO Doug McMillon made $27.5M last year, over 930 times the median Walmart worker's salary of just $29,469.

Walmart's wages are so low that its workers are among the most likely to rely on SNAP and Medicaid to get by.

It's past time Walmart paid them a living wage.

seriously these results are a roadmap to demands for the upcoming budget battle: criminal liability if they break the law, no masks and mandatory IDs, no new funding and clawing back as much as last year’s funding as possible.

this would be a strong demand for the funding fight as well bsky.app/profile/stev...
It would take a two-word amendment to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 to subject ICE agents and other federal law enforcement officers to the same liability for constitutional violations that local and state officers currently face.

If Congress actually cared about what it's seeing, it could pass that overnight.

lots of political space to convert those “not sures” into somewhat supports and those “somewhat supports” into strongly supports on eliminating ICE. also, with a funding battle coming up, plenty of political space to say “no government funding unless we claw back last year’s new ICE funding”
This YouGov poll on ICE is really eye-opening. Public opinion has really swung against DHS/ICE and their terror regime.

People really do not understand how out of control Minneapolis is right now. I spent almost 8 hours today on the street in different parts of the city and saw everything from tear gas and pepper balls being used to fully marked ice vehicles roaming and pointing out people to camera crews onboard.
ICE is now ramming civilian cars through red lights in Minnesota. — they are tax payer agitators ‼️

UPDATE: President Trump and his deputies tied autism to acetaminophen use during pregnancy, presented a cancer drug as a possible treatment, and said the FDA would change labeling to reflect both claims. There is little strong scientific evidence for either.

The VA is one of the top employers of veterans nationwide. Our federal unions defend VA nurses, counselors, and case workers so they can do their jobs and serve those who’ve served. Don’t be fooled—this is not about making the VA better—this is about taking away their rights. We will fight back!
