The U.S. and the Philippines are the only two countries with a for-profit bail industry, says civil rights lawyer @equalityalec.bsky.social. The insistence that people in pre-trial detention pay to get out of jail leads to "millions of coerced guilty pleas" by poor people each year, he says.

women are about 78% of the healthcare workforce in america. i know people know this but it’s always worthwhile to state it outright. not only is it gendered to underpay healthcare workers but men who get “caught up” in it are undervalued for doing female-coded work. same with teachers.
It will never not bother me how often when you’re talking to someone — in life, for work, w/e — who is struggling that that person works in healthcare. Nurses, orderlies, home health aids, people who draw blood, etc

There always a fucking tweet.

This doozy back from June 2020.

Would really love it if someone in our fed govt would go rogue and arrest him based on his own EO.

***still dreaming of seeing him in a jail cell…

Spending tax dollars on $175M private jets, $1B to renovate a private jet, $150M on golf trips, & other wasteful spending while Americans face going without food due to SNAP benefits not going out in Nov is a gop policy choice.

If Republicans in Congress are too terrified to let Jack Smith testify, then Gavin Newsom should get the California legislature to do it

He’s already made public statements and issued a public report, so it shouldn’t be a problem

You can just imagine Trump’s social media explosion if this happens
🇺🇸 I don't want to overstate this, but any testimony from Jack Smith into Trump's attack on America would be a bombshell that would rock this country.
It is vital we know what led to Jan. 6, and Trump's part in it.
One way or the other, this MUST come out, and I salute Smith for coming forward.

🚨BREAKING: Former special counsel Jack Smith is calling Republicans' bluff, turning the tables Thursday by requesting to testify publicly in open hearings before the House and Senate Judiciary Committees.

Doubtful Chuck Grassley would allow such public testimony that would hurt the Führer.

If Mr. Art of the Deal really wanted to end the shutdown and cared about federal workers, programs and services, he would be negotiating instead of building a ballroom.

And if he’s too busy with the ballroom, he could allow Thune to do it since Mike Johnson is a useless fool.

I have a young relative who lost her job and is currently looking for another. She had a zoom interview for a position, and I overheard part of it. The employer asked her if she had kids, how old they are, and about their daycare.

Those questions lead to discrimination…obviously.

Not lowering costs for the American people?
Leavitt: At this moment in time, the ballroom is really the president's main priority.

The Roberts Court is now on the verge of erasing one of the key achievements of the Civil Rights Era.

And with it, diluting minority voting strength and doubling down on gerrymanders that could install a permanent Republican majority in Congress.

Elon Musk is on track to receiving a $1 TRILLION pay plan.

If this plan is approved, he'd make almost $100 BILLION annually.

That's 1.6 MILLION times the median American salary.

We're urging Tesla shareholders to vote against this new pay package.

Spotify is running ICE advertisements and refuses to address it. Might be because their founder is basically another Elon Musk.

It’s time to cancel your subscription, and we made it easy for you—just go to BoycottSpotify.com.
