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.

Stopping clean energy projects already underway and destroying good union jobs threatens to take America backward. With unemployment rising and prices spiking, this order makes no sense. Workers should be allowed to finish the job.

If Indiana legislators hold firm on their conscience today, it will among other things be a much-needed rejection of the idea that you can get your way on policy through bullying, intimidation, and threats.

In October 2024, the U.S. unemployment rate was 4.1 % and the inflation rate was 2.6 %. Now, unemployment is 4.4 %, inflation has risen to 3 %, and we’ve added $3 Trillion to the national debt. The “Golden Age” feels more like the “Broke-Ass Olden Age.”

If I was on Air Force One, and I heard Trump address a female reporter as “piggy,” I’d have gotten in his face and demanded he apologize to her. Why did no one say anything to Trump? I’m pissed off about this. Have a watch.👇 open.substack.com/pub/socialco...

We will have to move many more of us from watching and commiserating (which I do all the time too) to mobilizing our communities, volunteering like the 90k people in NYC did for Zorhan Mamdani, running for office, and other actions.
Millions of "small" actions create big cracks in fascism.

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.
Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.
This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.
