Begging you not to let Wael’s story get lost amidst all the horrors.

He was a 30 year old disabled man. His dad was his full time caregiver.

ICE took him away.

Wael said it would kill him. He said the fear was “real & immediate”.

He died last week. ICE killed Wael.

BREAKING: @AOC just completely went off on Trump after ICE murdered Alex Pretti.

"Donald Trump [is] accusing a Veteran Affairs ICU nurse (Alex Pretti) as being a terrorist against the United States. A man who was treating services members to our country, who was dedicating his life to serving Americans. Who in his final act on this earth was helping a woman pushed to the ground. And they are calling him a Domestic Terrorist, in order to defend their gross abuse of power, their absolute breaching of the law and in order to precipitate greater conflict."

Capitalism

Let’s talk about minimizing for a second.
1% of US children means that in 3 years, 730,000 kids got a potentially permanent chronic illness with no treatments.
By contrast, in the same 3 years, 12,000 kids got leukemia.

BREAKING: Patagonia founder gives away the $3 billion company to a pair of trusts, with a mandate to give all profits (~$100 million/year) to fight the climate crisis.

This is a real game-changer, raising the bar on what a socially conscious business can look like.

Folks. Cannot stress this enough. Federal student debt payments have been paused since March 2020. If you made any payments since then, YOU CAN REQUEST A REFUND through your student loan servicer. That money—quite literally—belongs to you.

“Betty Ann had borrowed twenty-nine thousand dollars in federal loans. Today, she owes $329,309.69 in student debt. She is ninety-one years old.” some incredible reporting in this piece by @EleniSchirmer

🚨🚨🚨 Last night, the PA Senate waived their rule about voting after 11pm. What they did next is outrageous and you may find it hard to believe. A thread 🧵 /1

As you read today's inflation report, pay close attention to what the CEOs who set prices are saying. We got our hands on the latest batch of earnings reports, and it's a doozy. They're literally bragging about hiking prices while hiding behind "inflation." The receipts...(1/7)

[Dan Price @DanPriceSeattle]

Starbucks: "we are forced to raise prices due to inflation and supply-chain issues"

Also Starbucks: "our profit just went up 31% and we gave our CEO a 39% raise to $20.4 million"

Companies are doing a great job rebranding corporate greed as "inflation"

I'm sorry, but I am not interested in any economic growth that is facilitated by the death and sickness of millions, or the destruction of the planet.

[Dan Price @DanPriceSeattle]

Corporate profits are at their highest level since 1950.

Profits are up 37% in the last year.

Companies see people complaining about worker pay bumps and inflation and see it as an opportunity to raise prices to raise profits. And people fall for it.
