A thought for the day:

A system that is acceptable only because you got lucky is not defensible.

Together, we're powerful. That's why they work so hard to divide us. THE SOUL GENE
The grasshopper gets it — divide and conquer. Today’s robber barons use the same playbook. But together, we have all the power. Watch.

Giving tax breaks to corporations that underpay their employees so much the employees qualify for food stamps and Medicaid is asinine.

If a disease is too rare to generate a reasonable ROI -- because there are simply not enough victims to make a cure profitable -- the disease is ignored by capitalists. They call them "orphaned" diseases.

As all readers of The Soul Gene know.

OK, but it's still way overpriced.

Going where 60 Minutes fears to tread . . .
Now seems like a swell time to point out that Frontline just released this excellent 11-minute mini-documentary about what happened inside CECOT.

Boycott 60 Minutes. You won't miss anything.
CBS pulled its “60 Minutes” segment on El Salvador’s CECOT prison just hours before airtime.

CBS says it’ll air “Inside CECOT” later. But you don’t have to wait for their story.

📺 Watch the full investigation now on PBS Frontline:
