The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020. — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%. It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low. We must unrig the system.

Every woman in America should mourn the loss of Gloria Steinem. She paved the way for all of us -- to hold jobs, to stay at home with kids, to not have kids at all, to be whatever we wanted to be. @kitseelye.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/09/03/u...

Gloria Steinem was an icon and a trailblazer. Her advocacy - from championing reproductive freedom, to fighting for workplace fairness - moved our country forward. All of us can and should draw on her legacy of leadership and advocacy to strive towards making America a better place.

Women are paying Trump’s #CostOfCorruption as he sabotages our healthcare and our futures. That hits harder today as we mourn Gloria Steinem, our champion who died with fewer rights than she helped gain — and whose legacy demands that we reclaim the freedoms we all deserve. 🕊️

Marrying this beautiful woman on Saturday!
