Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.
This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.
Remember this before you order your next pumpkin spice latte.

They can pinpoint exactly how many people died in wars, and genocide but can’t tell us how many Black people they killed throughout the 400 years of slavery & Jim Crow, by whippings, executions, lynchings, overwork, starvation, and medical neglect.
The erasure is part of the violence.

The world is so amazing and yet what we’re making of it is so awful—it’s very hard to live through this period and bear witness without feeling slightly insane.

Press needs to stop repeating govt euphemism of “clearing homeless camps.” I’ve witnessed it in other cities: massive destruction of personal property. Not just bedrolls & tents; family photos, Bibles, meds. Times I’ve seen it people weren’t even given option to move their things.

Ghislaine Maxwell raped over a thousand little girls and right now she's at a Club Fed in Texas eating better food and receiving better health care than America's working poor. A clear symptom of a terminally ill society. If this doesn't piss you off, you are sub-human scum.

Multiple times this year I’ve had coffee with fellow immigrants who grew up in corrupt third world countries and the shared sentiment has been that Americans don’t understand how bad things are going to get.

The CEO of a a multi-trillion dollar company went to the White House, openly handed the US president a gift made of gold, and his company got a special exemption to tariffs the president has illegally imposed.
Also, the Founders took bribery so seriously the Constitution bans it 3 separate times.

He’s already said he’d date Ivanka if she wasn’t his daughter. He’s an adjudicated rapist with w 34 felony convictions. A woman testified that he raped her at 13 & 27 women have accused him of sexual assault. All of this is known. So if he’s terrified of the Epstein files, it must be very very bad.

For anyone that is lost in this moment or being told they don’t understand what’s happening in Gaza let us be real clear—-STARVATION isn’t a weapon of war it is a tool of GENOCIDE! Netanyahu is overseeing mass murder that stopped being about Israel’s safety two years ago!

Thomas Jefferson was 44 when he began what many in 2025 STILL consider a romantic tryst or loving affair with Sally Hemings.
Ms. Hemings had no legal capacity to consent to such a relationship not only because she was enslaved, Jefferson's property,
BUT ALSO BECAUSE SHE WAS 14-YEARS-OLD. /1

I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.

When I met Ryan Coogler several years ago, we were standing in a group of people chatting, when a woman with visible hearing aids walked up, and he casually began to sign the whole conversation so she could participate. She mouthed “thank you”. He nodded and just kept doing his thing.
‘Sinners’ on Max Will Include a Black American Sign Language Version
‘Sinners’ on Max Will Include a Black American Sign Language Version
Max will debut Sinners in the U.S. on Friday July 4, when viewers will be able to watch it two ways: by 1) streaming the exact theatrically-released version, and 2) choosing Sinners in Black American Sign Language (BASL). It’s the first time a streaming service has interpreted a film into BASL, Warner Bros. says.
