While the McDonald’s CEO gets roasted for his awkward burger taste test...
McDonald’s is among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.
And McDonald's CEO recently raked in $18.2M — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.
That should leave a bad taste in your mouth.

In the background, a man in a suit stands among seated attendees holding a handwritten sign that reads, “BLACK PEOPLE AREN’T APES!” Other lawmakers and guests look on.
Rep. Al Green, thank you for this moment.
This is a well-reported piece AND what I want to hear is what this couple has ACTUALLY learned from their experience and how that will inform future political choices they make - they don't seem more empathetic.

Counterpoint: No.
ICE doesn’t need reform. Abolition and prosecution is the bare minimum.
Hey good people,
If it’s between the convenience of having TSA Precheck/Global Entry & not giving one more 💵 to the DHS…
In fact, the Dems should keep it closed until Stephen Miller quits.
Inconvenience over inhumane treatment of our people isn’t a hard ask. Let your congress know:
KEEP IT CLOSED.

AOC on Randy Fine: “This is genuinely one of the most disgusting statements I have ever seen issued by an American official — It should not stop shocking us that the Republican Party openly embraces this — Fine should be censured & stripped of committees. To ignore this is to accept & normalize it”
Thanks! I'll check them out!
Thanks!
Thanks! Yes, I love Ravelry 🧶 I was hoping to reach someone who might have recently crafted for someone of the same age and background.

New Yorkers won’t let Donald Trump erase LGBTQ+ history, or trample the rights of our LGBTQ+ neighbors.
This should infuriate everyone.

The so-called Save America Act will force 21 million American citizens to produce passports or birth certificates just to register to vote. Most do not have them ready. Turning paperwork into a barrier is a poll tax by another name. #HandsOffHerVote social.demcast.com/s/L9X3k1fQ
Is there some sort of award for perfectly missing the point?

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.
KAITLAN COLLINS: What would say to Epstein survivo---
TRUMP: You are so bad. You are the worst report. No wonder CNN has no ratings. She's a young woman. I don't think I've ever seen you smile. They should be ashamed of you.
I don’t understand why colleagues stay silent when this happens.
You love to see it.
