After quite a few frustrating bombs this one was an anti-climactic whizz.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

If the Venezuelan sailors were enemy combatants, then the 2nd strike is a war crime.

If the Venezuelan sailors weren’t enemy combatants, then both strikes are criminal murder.

It’s that simple.

It really is obscene.
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?

Trickle-down economics was always a sham.

Nothing has ever trickled down.

Joyce's a disgrace. His "legacy": self-interest, scandal, rorting taxpayer's money, unresolved sexual harassment allegations, sprouting family values while having an affair with a staff member, bringing parliament into disrepute, sabotaging climate action.
Barnaby Joyce’s scandals have damaged politics. Maybe it’s time for a change of scenery | Tom McIlroy
He was once seen as a Coalition star, but his career in parliament has involved a series of misadventures and bad policies

What do these corporations have in common?

United States Steel

In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes.

This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.
