And the rich get richer

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year. UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year. Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

ICE Abuse Continues Apace

Luis Ruiz, a private ICE contractor, allegedly engaged in severe and pervasive sexual harassment including requesting sexual favours and sending explicit texts.He did this from 2023 until 2025.The woman he abused reported him and was deported the very next day.She had been in the US almost 40 years and is a mother of 8.This is not the only time ICE has retaliated against a woman for speaking out about abuse. Alma Bowman is a disabled woman who spent 30 months in an ICE camp during the first Trump regime. She got out, and worked as a whistleblower to expose atrocities including forced sterilizations. In March of this year, ICE grabbed her again. She’s been held in a detention centre ever since. There’s a lot of abuse and misogyny happening in addition to the egregious violations of human rights.

🚨🚨WARNING: I am going to show you what Israel did to the Palestinians they kidnapped. This should be ALL OVER THE MAINSTREAM NEWS. If the roles were reversed it would be. by Shaun King

It's completely and utterly despicable. And you and I both know that if ANY OF THIS happened to Israelis we'd never hear the end of it.
