Most of my career was focused on overpaid CEOs/Income Inequality. Just started a new job w a local Aging in Place program. I tweet social justice, aging, bargains, books, politics, gardens, adoption, humor, hope. Always curious.

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.
McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.
Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.
See the problem?

Reminder: please telll any Latino folks in the DC area to avoid BWI parkway (295) & other similar roads that are covered under the park police. In particular, do not take any vans/trucks on that road. Technically commercial vehicles aren't permitted but that's never been enforced. Now it is.

I think what grates on me most about this is the apparently straight-faced use of "cancelled" - the language of people who whine about misogynists being held accountable in any way for their actions.
When a cancelled performer reënters the culture, we expect them to offer us a great work, channelling their newfound clarity into the finest art they’ve ever made. With his new comedy show and début novel, has Louis C.K. met the bar?

Remember 6 weeks ago when Admiral Alvin Holsey, head of the U.S. military’s southern command, abruptly decided to retire?
Makes me think at least one top-ranking officer knows what a war crime is.

Trump has trampled the Constitution, trashed the economy, and ceded the next century to China. Someone in my replies on Bluesky used the word "Latinx". I have never felt more politically homeless.

I have thoughts about assimilation: I'm from PA (as were my parents, grand-parents, etc., etc). Most patriotic side of my family. My grandmother taught in a one-room schoolhouse & knew more about American history than anyone I've met. And she grew up speaking a German dialect. Pennsylvania Dutch

The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.

We are now further away from the theatrical release of Raiders of the Lost Ark (June 12, 1981) than it was from the year it takes place in (1936). We have reached the Indiana Jones event horizon.

One of the delights of watching Mary Poppins tonight is knowing Dick Van Dyke is still worth is and about to turn 100. I wonder how many of the other chimney sweeps are still around. And how old are the actors who played Jane and Michael now?

I’ve heard that yesterday helicopters were involved in ICE abductions on 295. We need to keep spreading the word to our inside the beltway Latino neighbors to avoid the Baltimore-Washington parkway, particularly in the early morning. We need to do more than that, but I’m not sure what it is
The Baltimore–Washington (B-W) Parkway is converted into a federal detention and vehicle‑seizure corridor, targeting immigrant workers and imposing immediate financial harm through rapid contractor tows. #Trump #DHS #ICE #USPP #Maryland #Immigration #InteriorEnforcement #TowingContracts #Handbasket

A woman with a family connection to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has been arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Revere, Massachusetts.
The woman, Bruna Ferreira, has an 11-year-old son with Michael Leavitt, Karoline Leavitt's brother.
Ferreira migrated with her family to the United States from Brazil as a child and is currently in custody at an ICE facility in southern Louisiana.
Michael Leavitt released a statement, saying that his "only concern has always been the safety, well-being, and privacy of [his] son."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:x4qyokjtdzgl7gmqhsw4ajqj/bafkreiacyzixchgacpjse7wyra342opgjsvdxzqdrkxq55zzqah65zyeae@jpeg)

One of the problems with excessive CEO pay is that it makes other people think they are entitled to excessive pay. We didn't have these problems in the 1970s for a reason: taxation rates.
I was just thinking about contributing to the "charity" Feeding America. Until I discovered that the salary for its CEO, Claire Babineaux-Fontenot, was approximately $949,866 in 2024, with her total compensation being $1,113,502. Apparently, feeding America isn't her top priority.
