I love that she isn't bidding a beat and going for UPD CEO's financial jugular to help seasonal workers:
NY AG Letitia James has sued UPS for stealing millions in wages from its seasonal holiday workers.
UPS' CEO made over $24M last year — over 436x her median worker's pay.
This is a reminder that states can step up and protect workers when Trump's federal government refuses to.

Trump ran on a promise that ICE would go after the “worst" criminals.
But the real crime is in oligarchs taking $170b from your healthcare and food assistance to form a secret police force.
Our country has defeated fascism before and it is time we fight to uphold our legacy.

A great deed from a very dark day, and the kindness of Australians in response:
Ahmed al Ahmed, the man who tackled one of the Bondi killers, became an Australian citizen 3 years ago.
His deed was "his way of conveying his gratitude for staying in Australia, for being granted citizenship."
He took 5 bullets, and fears he'll lose his left arm.
