Climate Change Happening Faster Than Anticipated. According to a report from the UN. BTW, are we still members? Will we still be after Fox briefs Trump on this report? Here’s one way to combat the crisis.
ICE Agents Arrest 680 ‘Undocumented Immigrants’ In Mississippi. They were working at poultry plants. While Trump made sure you weren’t watching. Once again, Trump treats victims as criminals.
How Amazon Culls Its Workforce: Orwellian double-speak from the company that wants to own everything–especially you and everything you buy. Here’s how they get rid of employees. It’s impersonal and inhuman.
Op-Ed: Gun Legislation Is Up To Delaware’s Democratic Leaders. Joanne Cabry is mostly right–but the lack of urgency from Gov. Carney and the legislators is unforgivable. No one has the energy to strike while the iron is hot and call the General Assembly back? John, if you can’t shame D senators into coming back and voting for these bills, then what good are you? Oh, and don’t forget Pistol Pete Schwartzkopf. Call both houses back into session, and make ’em go as long as necessary to get action in both houses.
What do you want to talk about?
Interesting to note that now is the time for gun legislation with two gun slaughters back to back and the NRA mired deep in scandal, we can do this but like usual the Dem leaders are found wanting. If found at all.
Truly sad.
I find it darkly humorous that Amazon treating its HQ workers like crap is somehow surprising enough to warrant an expose. There are tales from the warehouses that sound like they are straight from The Jungle, but surely they treat their HQ staff and tech workers like real people, lol.
