Forced overtime is commonplace. Wage theft is in the tens of billions every year. Full-time employees are routinely misclassified as independent contractors to cut pay and strip benefits.

Worker exploitation in this country is out of control.

Twitter has dramatically increased its lobbying efforts. In 2015, the company spent $500,000 on federal lobbying.

Five years later, the company spent triple that at $1.5 million. https://t.co/ewWlBMiDHx

Right now, teachers and firefighters pay taxes every paycheck and billionaires pay nothing for years on end. I have a plan to change that once and for all, and ensure billionaires pay their fair share. It’s time for the Billionaires Income Tax. https://t.co/uQiDpR6T5v

[MoveOn @MoveOn]

The #BuildBackBetter plan gets MORE popular if we tax billionaires' annual wealth gains to pay for it.

Pass it on. #BillionairesIncomeTax

the bare ice in southern Greenland is as dark as I've seen

[Prof Nick Cowern @NickCowern]

We have already committed to losing the Greenland ice sheet, which will ultimately raise sea level by 6 m (20ft). Are we going to let Antarctica contribute a further rise of 55m, or are we going to stop using fossil fuels in our houses and our cars? Sorry folks, it's that simple.

@PeterStefanovi2 absolutely disgusting.. in a parallel universe somewhere there may just be the majority of this disgusting tory government in prison for crimes against the state.. wasting tax payers money.. looting the national health service for their own means.. being just really ugly humans..

BBC News leading on "climate change is real".
No kidding.
Such delayed response is why we are now 30yrs behind tackling the climate crisis than where we should be.
If we leave it another 30yrs before we take meaningful direct action then humanity's future on this planet is grim.

Bethany Shriever had to work as a teaching assistant and crowdfund to continue her training and just won BMX Gold.

The GB rowing team were awarded £27million of investment and got 2 medals - none of them gold.

Is UK Sport funding elitist??
