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.

I resigned from ExxonMobil today. I spent the last three years doing fossil fuel extraction research at both BP and ExxonMobil. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing to maximize extraction while the window to act closes, and gambling with our lives. More below.

"Iran wants to make a deal very badly" .. "Canada wants to make a deal very badly" .. "a deal is coming fairly soon". This is the new "in two weeks" rhetoric. He has a limited ability of expression and why he becomes unhinged with reporters leading to his "who do you work for" and Fake News retorts.

The New York Times did not blink. The Times: “We won’t be issuing a retraction." But they didn't stop there. "This is another all too common example of the president lashing out at coverage he doesn’t like and belittling journalists who report the facts.”

What kind of mindset sees such wonders - the return of our bluefin tuna - and thinks "let's catch them for 'sport'" or "let's kill them and sell their flesh". It's not only monstrous philistinism, but also idiot economics. Many would pay well to witness this wonder. Extractivism is our enemy.

Officially, the water industry in England is regulated. Practically, it's unregulated. There's no difference between what it does under the eye of the Environment Agency and what it would do if the EA did not exist. The EA is completely useless, by design. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Back in May, our reporter Suri Crowe directly asked the Pentagon how sailors aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln could be running out of food. Their response? They pointed us to a series of TWEETS calling reports of food shortages “false” and “FAKE NEWS,” then said they had nothing else to share.

El-Sayed: "If all Mike Rogers got is that 'his name is Abdul, and my name is Mike,' you're gonna be surprised how many people are like, 'Yeah, but that's the Abdul who wants to bring down the price of my groceries and make sure I got healthcare. So yeah, I like Abdul over your Mike from Florida.'"

Some say they haven't signed up for Democracy Docket because they don't want spam or endless solicitations. Democracy Docket doesn't sell its list. It doesn't solicit products or services. It sends you the news/information you sign-up for. Try it and see! demdock.com/4w6emld

El-Sayed: "My commitment to Jewish safety is the same commitment that I have to the safety of my own daughters. Because if there is one question of political philosophy that ought to animate us all, it's what would we do if we treated all our kids like they were all of our kids?"

A gracious concession: “I want to congratulate Abdul El-Sayed on winning the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. He is a doctor, a community health official, a Rhodes Scholar, and a dedicated Michigander. I am proud to offer my support as he takes on Mike Rogers in the general election…

The so-called president of the United States is a massive money launderer and cut off by the bank that discovered it. Yet the story barely registers with the legacy media. What a disgrace.
