The International Energy Agency says all 31 member countries have agreed to release 60 million barrels of oil from their strategic reserves to emphasize that there will be “no shortfall in supplies” as a result of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. https://t.co/hg8bq8PK2t

The Great Migration is of the largest and most economically powerful instances of "moving to opportunity." But after 6 million southern Black Americans migrated to the North and found prosperity—did their descendants inherit it? Read @EDerenoncourt: https://t.co/V2b5tcW6xa

Can’t stop thinking about how the owner of the Rams worth $12.5 billion was able to receive a $100 million tax break to build a $5 billion stadium named after a student loan company while 45 million Americans owe $1.8 trillion in student debt and 600,000 are homeless. #SuperBowl

Also boycotting won’t fix systemic corruption:
•55 Fortune 500 Corps paid $0 fed taxes
•Amazon avoided $5.2B in fed taxes
•CEO pay is at record highs
•Yet—80% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck

We need legislative reform that taxes billionaires & guarantees a living wage

Chipotle: 26% profit increase. Raising prices.

Starbucks: 31% profit increase. Raising prices.

McDonalds: 59% profit increase. Raising prices.

Shell/Mobile/BP: 60% profit increase. Raising prices.

There's not a labor shortage.
This isn't inflation.
It is 100% corporate greed.

[Lindsay Owens @owenslindsay1]

If you want to understand the role of corporate greed in price hikes & inflation in America today, you don't have to take the word of watchdogs or critics of corporations. CEO's are admitting it themselves in plain daylight.

And they're betting they can get away with it. (END)

Crypto is not only a Ponzi scheme, it's a Ponzi scheme that puts $ and power in the pockets of dudes like this: https://t.co/4nKWs9o8qM

Student debt is a racial justice issue. A 2016 study found that four years after earning a bachelor’s degree, the average Black graduate had about $53,000 in debt, nearly twice the level of the average white graduate. https://t.co/LqlquXnrku

I avoided Twitter for years thinking that I would just get sucked down a constant rabbit hole. But when the modern world is full of rabbit-hole-landmines (mobile phone, Facebook, Tik Tok, Instagram, trashy news popping up everywhere), Twitter seems so much more purposeful.

Brene Brown demonstrates thoughtfulness before action. Her actions & response are a stark contrast to the behavior of people & entities like Joe Rogan & Spotify.

Joe Rogan is a symptom of a society steeped in rape culture. https://t.co/aLqBD2Qvol

I'm removing my podcast from @Spotify. I know it's not a big deal but hope it will be part of a growing avalanche. Thank you to #NeilYoung, @jonimitchell, and @nilslofgren for your courage in leading the way.
