While the McDonald’s CEO gets roasted for his awkward burger taste test...

McDonald’s is among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.

And McDonald's CEO recently raked in $18.2M β€” over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.

That should leave a bad taste in your mouth.

@charlotteclymer.bsky.social is spot on:

β€œIt's 2025, and we're sharing bootlegs of a β€œ60 Minutes” segment broadcast in other countries because our own nation is being run by fascists and their billionaire-owned state media helpers.”

The admin probably thinks this will own the libs bc they assume that MAGAts don’t go to college

Wage garnishment for defaulted student loans to resume early next year The Education Department had stopped collecting wages to repay defaulted loans during the coronavirus pandemic.

They’re adding medical debt back onto credit reports.

They’re going to garnish wages over student loans.

They promised to β€œMake America Great Again”. To make it more affordable.

Instead they’re ensuring people suffer as much as possible.

It’s intentional. Ask yourselves why.

ICE Hires Immigrant Bounty Hunters From Private Prison Company GEO Group BI Incorporated, a subsidiary of for-profit prison company GEO Group, will help ICE pinpoint the locations of immigrants.

Apparently, ICE isn’t doing enough…

So the gang is expanding its ranks, recruiting *private bounty hunters* to track down immigrants at home and at work

How MAGATs would react to being on the naughty list if lumps of coal in naughty lister stockings was real. They’d call it a Christmas miracle

When will people learn that when you make a deal with this devil, he takes your soul and then taunts you with it to take everything else? Absolutely love this for Adams and can’t wait to see #NYC fight back.
