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.

Mathematician Katherine Johnson was born #OTD in 1918.

Her orbital mechanics computations played a vital role in many early NASA missions. Astronaut John Glenn trusted her calculations more than those of his onboard flight computer. 🧪 🔭 👩‍🔬

Really cool strategy in this online exhibit of photos of Native people in the Great Lakes, to show the dispossession of the Burt Lake Band of Anishinaabeg through images of settler cottages photographed only two decades after the Anishinaabeg community there was burnt down.

President Stubb:

Some of the international media might wonder, "Why is the President of Finland here?" I think the reason is probably that we might come from a small country, but we have a long border with Russia, over 800 miles⤵️

The GOP budget bill is 1,116 pages long and filled with devastating cuts to vital programs in exchange for tax cuts that will disproportionately help the rich.

The plan is so unpopular that Republicans are taking another vote on it tomorrow at 1 AM. 

They're trying to hide it.

Took an hour of chainsaw work to get the few hundred feet back to the creek after the #michiganIceStorm and another hour to cut our way back out the other side. Totally worth it to daily walk back and let the creek wash away a little of the worlds filth right now.

This country is becoming unrecognizable. What we’re seeing is state-funded fear. We’ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared. This wasn’t a case involving masked ICE agents—but that’s happening too.

Your Tax Day reminder that trickle-down economics is a cruel hoax designed to enrich the wealthy and corporations while draining money for the middle class and the poor.

Don't let billionaires fool you into thinking we shouldn't tax the rich.
