13 sexual abuse victims of ex-USA Gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar will sue the FBI for $130M over failures to investigate: "They left us at the disposal of a predator."

It took the FBI 16 months to intervene after the first allegations, during which he abused at least 120 people.

I got laid off yesterday from a job I really liked, for people I really liked. Just a reminder that you’re disposable as soon as they decide you are. Stop working late. Stop reading emails after hours. Stop working on weekends. A job is income to live your life, not your life.

NBA star Bismack Biyombo is donating his $1.3 million salary to build a hospital in DR Congo, to honor his father who died from COVID-19 complications last year.

The athlete previously donated $1 million in medical supplies to his native country at the start of the pandemic.

161,000 people in Yemen will face famine this year, a 5x rise from last year. The UN calls it a "countdown to catastrophe."

17 million already suffer malnutrition.

The UN says Russia's invasion of Ukraine will disrupt food supplies: 30% of Yemen's wheat comes from Ukraine.

whenever i see someone talking about nato being a 'defensive alliance' and advocating for 'humanitarian intervention' I'm reminded how they deliberately targeted libya's water irrigation system and then bombed the factories responsible for developing + maintaining it

Pfizer made $37 billion off its Covid vaccine last year, more than the GDP of 120 countries.

Moderna founders made Forbes’ list of richest people.

Yet only 10% of people in low-income countries have been vaccinated.

And Covax—the global dose-sharing initiative—is out of money.

Dick's burgers in Seattle:
*$19 min wage
*Free health care for workers
*3 weeks paid vacation
*50% 401(k) match
*9,000 for tuition or childcare
*$1.80 basic burger
*Plenty of job applicants

There's no labor shortage. There's a shortage of companies willing to pay a living wage.

The irony of ADHD is that you can’t do anything because you want to do everything.

[Warren Gunnels @GunnelsWarren]

Turning on student loan payments, turning off $300 a month per child direct payments, enacting the largest Medicare premium hike in history while preventing seniors from receiving dental and vision benefits & increasing interest rates all at the same time is pretty, pretty dumb.
