After buying it for $18.8 billion, Walgreens' new private equity owner has eliminated paid holidays for all hourly workers on Christmas and New Year's.
Last year, Walgreens had a CEO-to-Worker pay gap of 410 to 1.
Corporate greed that would make even Scrooge blush.

This is pretext. Trump’s been obsessed w/wind turbines for decades, which began after Scotland put some in near his golf course. He sued the govt & lost, which is why he claims they cause cancer, mental illness in whales, bird extinctions, etc. Welcome to the 19th century. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Bari Weiss claims she killed the CBS CECOT story because it lacked Trump’s perspective.
1. That’s a lie. Trump has publicly commented supporting CECOT.
2. Refusing to comment is their choice. They are no victim.
3. Killing a story to protect power is State Run Media.
Drop CBS permanently.

The DOJ broke the law. The only possible way to rectify the situation is to impeach the Attorney General, then demand the DOJ release all the files in accordance with federal law.

Yesterday we were all waiting in the Epstein line. Today, the entire country has turned into investigators, tracking which files are disappearing. Sixteen gone so far. There’s been a remarkable amount of teamwork, with people working together to identify the missing documents.

Elon Musk’s net worth has now surpassed $600 billion, just weeks after Tesla approved his 10-year, $1 trillion pay package.
That could amount to $100 billion per year — more than 1.4 million elementary school teachers’ paychecks combined.
Still wondering if inequality is out of control?

A reminder that the largest demographic of Americans on food aid are white MAGA voters. By far. No other demographic is even a close second.
This is the Trump regime’s cruelty to distract from its own failures by punishing those who didn’t vote for him.
