This morning the unionized janitors at Twitter HQ went on strike, after Twitter fired over 20 workers with no notice. Tonight, Musk fired them. The richest guy on Earth is so stingy he won't even treat essential workers with basic dignity.
During Congressional Gold Medal ceremony for Jan. 6 police, representatives of those receiving awards shake hands with Schumer then walk past McConnell and McCarthy.
Last week, the IRS has stated that Americans must report payments on Venmo, PayPal over $600.
Last week, the Defense Department failed its fifth audit, unable to account for more than 61% its assets, worth about $1.8 trillion.
In a span of 24 hours last week, Canada extended 10 days of paid sick leave to 1 million people, and the Biden administration denied paid sick leave to 125,000 American rail workers.
Corporate Profits reached an all-time high of $2,522,000,000,000 this year.
Meanwhile, real wages declined more than 8.5 percent.
The problem is and has always been corporate greed and the politicians who do nothing to stop it.
I don’t know who needs to hear this but there’s literally no reason why companies that doubled their profits during the pandemic can’t afford to give paid sick leave to the workers who make it all possible.
One, I didn't "steal" anything. I created a copy.
Two, that "thing" was **evidence of crimes** (our courts agreed: see link).
Three, exposing a crime should not be a crime, regardless of whether those crimes were committed by a Mafia or a State.

It's both wild and also not surprising that the U.S. government just crushed 125,000 rail workers essential to the economy, and it was barely even a one-day story in corporate media.
I just randomly remembered the bird that flew onto the podium at a @BernieSanders rally. I watched the video and immediately started crying.
"That bird is really a dove asking us for world peace! No more wars!"
Here's your feel good video of the day, y'all.
The Fed is going to keep raising interest rates until the dude at Arby's loses the fifty cent raise he got a year ago while the CEO of Moderna will be able to keep every last penny of his $926 million golden parachute. This is what a rigged and corrupt economy looks like.
Lula rose from humble origins to become a leftist icon, exuding working-class authenticity and successfully bringing working people into the country’s political life. https://t.co/CjyhTthC54

No. Inflation is not going up in the U.S. because the working class got a $1,400 check 19 months ago. Multinational corporations are jacking up prices worldwide.
You are holding Julian Assange in a dungeon for exercising the freedom of expression you so ardently claim to defend. How about decriminalizing it at home before you take to a podium and point your finger abroad?
Congratulations to @LulaOficial on winning Brazil's historic election.
This is a victory for social justice, Indigenous rights and the future of humanity.
The global struggle for equality, democracy and peace goes on. Lula's triumph proves that, together, we can win.
