Gun laws don’t work? Why hasn’t Australia had a school shooting since 2012? How about the UK which was 1996? Last I checked they don’t have armed teachers in every school or allow guns on campus. Pretty sure they also have bad guys and doors and mentally ill people too.

Workers at the giant Starbucks’ Roastery store in Seattle walked out today, striking against the lack of credit card tips that they were promised before they voted to unionize.

They've given Starbucks a deadline of Memorial Day to comply and enable credit card tips.

This is the violent apartheid government of Israel.

This is horrific.

A quick reminder:

1) Trickle-down economics is a cruel joke designed by the wealthy.

2) The “free market” has been distorted by campaign contributions from the ultra-rich.

3) Don’t lionize the ultra-rich as superior, “self-made” human being. They were lucky, had connections.

Wealth inequality is eating this country alive. Concentrated wealth is already endangering our democracy. Wealth doesn’t just beget more wealth — it begets more power.

It’s a vicious cycle that destroys our economy and democracy at the same time.

So you’re saying that officials chose to not repair the levee…

Make sure you know what you're retiring to.

This was a hard post to write.

I almost didn't write it in fact. I've started and trashed this story many times.

But I believe there are important lessons in this story we can learn from.

Warning: this does not have a happy ending.

All fish caught in Michigan rivers and tested for toxic PFAS contained the ‘forever chemicals’ – and at levels that present a health risk for anyone eating them, a new study https://t.co/k4mIvhqUAb

The FBI paid an informant tens of thousands of dollars to infiltrate racial justice movements during the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests in Denver.

To create division, he accused activists of working with the police, and set up others to be arrested.

Yesterday there was a major derailment in Houston, and another in Enoree, South Carolina.

This is exactly what rail unions keep warning us about. Unless there are major changes the industry will get worse, not better. And that means more disasters like East Palestine.
