Last year, Kroger's CEO raked in $15.4 million — 457x more than its typical employee. Kroger also announced $7.5 billion in stock buybacks.

I don't want to hear that Kroger can't afford to treat its employees fairly.

Solidarity to these workers.
Kroger has shut down four Colorado locations as grocery strike begins.

The UFCW just launched these initial walk outs, but the strike could grow dramatically and spread across multiple strikes.

Over 100,000 supermarket workers have authorized strikes across the West and PNW.

WE HAVE QUESTIONS…

This is a kidnapping. No uniform, no badge, civilian car. Who are they?

ICE? Sanctioned bounty hunters? Either way, they’re grabbing people without warrants.

How often is this happening, and why aren’t more people talking about it? Congress?

WITHOUT VIOLENCE, TRUMP IS NOTHING. The Minnesota MAGA Murders, Trump playing with his toy tanks, and the assault on Sen. Padilla prove it anew

OTOH Trump just TACO'd the mass deportations because Rotting Harvests

Whoa! Hats off to ABC News reporter Matt Gutman for keeping his cool yesterday.

This LAPD officer needs to be relieved of duty if he can’t handle an alleged “touch” without snapping.

By now, we've all seen the video of Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) being forcibly removed and handcuffed for asking a question during Kristi Noem's press conference.

But what Noem said just moments before the video was taken is "classic authoritarian red-baiting," points out @davidcorn.bsky.social.

Reminder that I AM LATINA AND PROUD. I am the product of immigration - my grandmother was undocumented and entered the country from Mexico as a baby. My mother was a fierce, gorgeous Latina woman of Mexican and Spanish descent.

Booker: "We have a president who did nothing as people stormed our Capitol, & then when those people who viciously beat police & led to some of their deaths - therefore cop killers - were convicted, he pardoned them. So for him to be talking about responsive law enforcement is hypocritical at best"

So...all the folks who think Abolish ICE is "too extreme."

Where are you on that position now?

The people who said we should abolish ICE were right. The people who said we should defund the police, were right. The righteous are always cursed with being too early.

Black Americans live rent-free in the minds of Black non-Americans. It’s wild how hard some of them work to distance themselves from us while still consuming and embodying everything we create.

ICE agents better start reading up on the Nuremberg trials. Because when we get to the other side of this, and we will, "I was just following orders" ain't gonna cut it.

White people (yeah, I know I’m white people, but you weren’t about to catch me doing anything to get in the way of anyone else voting against this twice-impeached toddler felon), you need to go to your room and think about what you’ve done. Because this is globally embarrassing for this country.
