Amazon workers are organizing a global strike. I so hope they succeed.
Amazon reported revenue of $96.1 billion just last quarter amid a pandemic-era boom. Warehouse workers in the U.S. and U.K., meanwhile, have been offered a $300 holiday bonus, and many employees will receive far less, if anything at all. interc.pt/36JUN8Y

Just like in 2008, they’re bailing out Wall Street rather than Main Street. washingtonpost.com/business/…

Good things do happen.

I don’t believe that when you die God stands before you and judges you, but I do tend to believe that when you die you experience everything you did or did not do to others while you were here. I’m thinking Mitchell McConnell will find that difficult.

At a certain point I don’t care what your mother or father did or what religion you are or what color you are or what sexuality you are or what gender you are or what age you are or even what your politics are. I just want to know whether you are going to feed that hungry child.

The Congress of the richest country in the world withholding #DirectCashRelief from the American people right now is a crime against humanity.

A $2T tax cut where 83% went to the richest among us. $760B a year to the Pentagon. $4T in Covid relief (only 1/5 of it to individuals). Yet they won’t give a $1200 stimulus check to individuals who need it now in order simply to survive. I am so ashamed of my country right now.

To coordinate information and provide policy proposals to address chronic trauma based on hunger, mental health issues, lack of education and healthcare etc among America’s children. Not enough to have data; we have to address the overall picture and develop policies that help.

It shouldn’t take economists warning Congress to make them provide #DirectCashRelief to people (not that it’s working anyway); millions of American parents saying “My kids are hungry and I don’t have food to feed them” should be enough.

There should be a Presidential Commission on the State of America’s children. @DrBiden and Marion Wright Edelman @ChildDefender could co-chair perhaps?

We should do something as well to compensate all those people who spent years, sometimes decades of their lives in prison on marijuana charges. We need to atone for this one.

I see an America in which every public school is a palace of culture, learning and the arts (they teach mindfulness there as well).
