Nice post that highlights that while there has been a substantial reduction in wage inequality since 2019, the reduction is substantially smaller than the rise in wage inequality since the early 1980s. Perspective is important.

BREAM: Is the FBI investigating the ICE agent who shot Renee Good?

BLANCHE: What happened has been reviewed by millions of Americans bc it was recorded. We investigate when it's appropriate. That is not the case here. We are not going to bow to pressure. So no, we are not investigating.

I agree with this. He wants Greenland just because it looks big on the map.
Ruben Gallego on Greenland: "The president just wants to have a legacy piece where he gets to claim that he brought in this big chunk of land that he sees on the map, even though it's a distorted map. And he's willing to ruin our whole foreign policy, our economy, so he could get what he wants."

He’s right but we need to welcome the formerly shitty into the fold. This is also a numbers game and we need all the help we can get.

Missed this a few days ago:

Two U.S. citizens grabbed by ICE say there were cells reserved for Americans.

Also, they weren’t given medical attention or allowed to go to the bathroom.

This is the sixth death in ICE custody in 18 days. This isn’t enforcement, it’s a system that cages people, outsources care, and shrugs when they die. Abolish ICE.

Alabama has no OBGYNs in many of their counties, so they're doing something pretty cool. They're not bringing OBGYNs to those counties.

Jesus, look at Trump's & RFK Jr.'s faces while Oz blabs. Their brains are approaching process shutdown.
