If a corporation's employees rely on food stamps to survive, that corporation is literally paying starvation wages!! This is basically a medieval economic structure of lords and serfs. This is not democracy.
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?

The US has too much a culture of obedience. In the 70s & 80s I studied the Milgram experiment in HS & college. This knowledge is important. Now the entire military/policing infrastructure has become 1 gigantic Milgram experiment. We ALL must #DisobeyOnEthicalGrounds. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milgram...

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.

🙏oversight actually produces something tangible w/full accountability. My faith is not near enough. Nothing less than the whole truth will do. Also don’t want facts hidden under the too convenient BS of National Security. Heard that excuse too many times. Heg et al didnt care when he used signal.
Now Senate Armed Services Committee and House Armed Services Committee - vow "vigorous oversight" and "full accounting" of Secretary Hegseth's alleged "kill them all" order and double-strike operation.

Since we aren't in a war, Pete Hegseth isn't technically a war criminal. He's just a garden-variety mass murderer.

Meanwhile, apprehensions of all kinds of actual foreign-born criminals are down across the board. Oh, & don't bother reading the "official" gov't websites for ICE, Border Patrol, etc. they're literally full of blatant lies that ALL other sources contradict strongly. #FascismIsHere

Can we at least get an "Oops, we goofed!" from some of those bozos out there who bought the BS about Biden's decline? Missing a word here and here or occasionally losing your train of thought does not mean ANYthing in the larger context of principles, concepts, ethics, law, or right and wrong.
