I have to say I agree with Ms. Chao here about the media's responsibility when it comes to reporting on Donald's deplorable racist taunts against her.

What do you make of this, friends?

Well, Greta Thunberg has done it again.

After baiting right-wing troll Andrew Tate into responding to her brilliant taunt yesterday, a theory abounded that a pizza box from his ill-conceived clap-back video actually led Romanian authorities right to his door.

And Greta was waiting with another tweet for the ages.

Brava! 👏

This year’s labor surge proves that good things can happen when workers stick together.

Remember: There are more working people than there are billionaires and CEOs.

Solidarity!

Now that we've made it through this year's particularly stressful holiday shopping season, I'm reminded that the biggest economic story of our time isn't about supply and demand.

It's about institutions and power.

Let me explain: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMmH_2EYohQ

@georgetakei It's so sad to me that we ever made it to this state of affairs in this country. How anyone could have elected someone so unhinged is baffling to me.

Growing up a New Yorker, Trump has always been synonymous with grifter. It's a shame half the country still doesn't see it.

A tale of two presidents.

It's surreal to watch financial news talk about regular people having money to spend and job security as a negative thing. If you ever needed convincing that the health of "the economy" is a conspiracy against working people, watch this clip from CNBC that just aired.

Instead of: no one wants to work anymore. Try: no one wants to be exploited anymore.

About that alleged stalker incident in L.A. that Musk blamed on the ElonJet account: It took place a day after Musk's jet landed and 26 miles away https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/12/18/details-of-musk-stalking-incident/

The wannabe autocrats want us to believe that they are the way forward. Don’t believe them. Don’t let them cramp your imagination about the potential of democracy to create a better future.

@caseynewton you can't even get street kebabs in NYC for $4 anymore🙄

@caseynewton how long before he starts selling the furniture?

NEW: Twitter has introduced a $4 daily lunch subsidy through an online delivery service to replace its former full-service cafeteria, per an email shared with me. Employees noting this does not even cover the delivery fee

Corporate profits only accounted for roughly 11% of price growth from 1979 to 2019.

Today, record corporate profits account for 53.9% of price increases.

Folks, corporate greed is driving inflation, not workers asking for better wages.
