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.

Chief Justice John Roberts turns 71 today.
Two decades ago, I warned the Senate that confirming Roberts to the Supreme Court would be a disaster for working people.
I'm sad to say I was proven right. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ir5kmPdRJLw

I vote for more than the very least.
At the very least, Congress must disarm ICE, prohibit it from using racial or ethnic profiling, end arrest quotas, remove agents’ immunity from criminal prosecution and civil lawsuits, and slash its funding. The Senate has the chance to rein in ICE this week.
Keep calling: (202) 224-3121
