FYI: Did you know Alabama leases incarcerated people to companies for work and those companies have stock that can be purchased on the
open market?
Slavery is alive and well in America.
This is such an important statement from @NYMag on the accurate use of genocide to describe Israel’s actions.
It also shows that every media outlet refusing to adopt this language is CHOOSING to engage in genocide denial.
Our CEOs are highly overpaid.
Example:
Jamie Dimon runs JPMorgan.His pay is heavily tied to
shareholder value and market cap growth.
His pay works out to just RM0.71m per RM1b profit.
Maybank CEO: RM1.45m.
Twice the price for running a protected domestic banking franchise.
And the wage gap is worse: JPMorgan CEO earns 363X its median employee. Maybank CEO earns about 400X Malaysia’s median formal-sector worker.
That is how far executive pay has detached from ordinary wages.
Workers wages oppressed.Those at the top grossly overpaid.
This goes crazy 🔥
Zohran Mamdani did not hold back:
Reporter: “Why are you against Donald Trump?”
Zohran: “He’s a fascist.”
Reporter: “Why?”
Zohran: “He says Medicare is impossible while spending $500M a day bombing Iran and Lebanon. Americans are tired and so am I.”
An American politician with actual spine. 👏
Cruelty Is the Point
They did not pick up a stranger at the border. They took a soldier's wife in a Walmart parking lot while her six-year-old sat in the car. Cristy Maryori Villafranca-Trejo had no criminal record. She was married to an active-duty Army sergeant at Fort Bliss. She was listed as his dependent. She was the parent who kept the house running while he trained and served. They held her for weeks. On Monday they flew her to Honduras.
Her husband now does school drop-off instead of morning training. He has already delayed a move. He does not know if he can stay in the Army. The child asks when her mother is coming home. He has no answer.
This is at least the seventh spouse or parent of an active-duty service member deported in the crackdown. More than fifty military families have been dragged into detention after the administration killed the old practice of leaving the households of people in uniform alone.
The Trump regime had a choice. Leave the sergeant's wife with his child, or exert ultimate cruelty and make an example. They made the example. Not because she was a threat, but because for Trump, the theater of taking her mattered more than the man still in uniform, the kid in first grade, or the unit that now has a distracted NCO instead of a ready one.
That is not enforcement. That is the message: even the families of people who serve are fair game.
Gaza has the highest concentration of child amputees in the world (at the peak of Israeli bombing, 10 kids were losing limbs daily), UNRWA says. And now Israel is now blocking prosthetic limbs from entering Gaza. All this has happened with US support or complicity.
It's not just global warming that contributed to this disaster in Nepal and Tibet, and it's imperative to be aware of it. Filmmaker Shenpenn Khymsar made a video discussing the extensive construction of tunnels and hydroelectric dams built by the Chinese gov't along the border.

Jesus confronts unjust systems and demonstrates in word and deed what God’s love looks like: It does not matter what your pedigree is, God is calling you to stand for truth and justice. #DailyMeditations https://t.co/ABB0UsVp2I
Rather than taxing billionaires 2%, Macron prefers to offset his financial troubles--that his liberal democracy has created--by making the poor work 2 years more. Woe to the rich, yet woe all the more to those who sacrifice the lives of the poor at the altar of the rich!
Praise God because “his mercies are new every morning.” And what a relief that is!
A wonderful poem to ponder today from “The Language of the Birds” by Amy Nemecek.

Pope Francis's historic call for the decriminalization of homosexuality worldwide is an immense step forward for #LGBTQ people, their families and all who love them. This is the first time that any Pope has made such a clear statement about this issue of life and death...
