Amazon just announced another round of 16,000 layoffs, months after it laid off 14,000 workers.
Reminder that Amazon CEO Andy Jassy raked in over $40M in 2024.
And Amazon is spending at least $75 million producing and promoting the Melania documentary.
The system is rigged.

Nasra Ahmed, a 23-year-old U.S. citizen, never seen Somalia, was walking to her aunt’s St. Paul house when she found herself surrounded by agents. She showed them her I.D.
ICE detained her for TWO days, handcuffed her, called her a racial slur, and slammed her so hard she got a concussion.

Retiring Walmart CEO Doug McMillon made $27.5M last year, over 930 times the median Walmart worker's salary of just $29,469.
Walmart's wages are so low that its workers are among the most likely to rely on SNAP and Medicaid to get by.
It's past time Walmart paid them a living wage.

The party of law and order literally just wrote themselves a memo that says they don't have to follow the 4th Amendment.
That's right, ICE intends to perform illegal search and seizures without a warrant.
Add that to the list with "we had to beat up the police on Jan 6 to defend our democracy".

AOC: An agency that is attacking U.S. citizens, kidnapping five-year-olds and using them as bait, and privately circulating the idea that they can violate the rights of Americans by busting down their doors—they deserve to be defunded, and I’ll take any step in that direction.

The whole world is boycotting the United States of America, and for good reason. Most of us would’ve never thought we would pray for America to become bankrupt, yet here we are. If our country needs to be bankrupted in order to stop the fascism here, so be it!
Popok: There are many things the American public will tolerate, including an ideological divide in our politics, but a heartless president—I don’t think that’s one of them
Shapiro: A heartless president that leads to hungry kids. His heartlessness is leading to a level of cruelty in our communities

When our lawmakers can’t enforce their own rights, it’s high time that these politicians got together and enacted the 25th amendment. Call your reps! Demand that they defund ice and that they invoke the 25th amendment because of the crazy grandpa in the White House. #25Amendment
I flew down to south Texas today to do my job - investigate why people are dying in ICE detention centers.
I was just illegally denied entry to Dilley Detention Center. Because they have something to hide.
