🥥 NASA's Boeing Starliner with 2 astronauts stranded aboard is a Schrödinger's space capsule. 🥥

260 million Americans will experience temps above 90F this week.

Now's a good time to remind you that Trump's inner circle devised a 900+ page plan that includes gutting the EPA, halting clean energy projects, and burning more fossil fuels.

It's called Project 2025. Look it up.

🥥 For a scary -- & entertaining -- preview of GOP plans for a second Trump administration, see the June 16 episode of John Oliver's show, "Last Week Tonight."
Oliver goes into depth about the right wing's Project 2025 and the people behind it.
Keep in mind, these are the people who'll be pulling the strings should they put their deranged orange tub of guts back in the White House. 🥥

I am deeply humbled and honored to be named the Icon Grand Marshal for the 2024 LA Pride Parade. To be recognized in this way by the LGBTQ+ community, an extraordinary group of individuals who have fought tirelessly for equality, is truly overwhelming. As someone who has witnessed the struggles and triumphs of our community over the years, I am filled with gratitude for the progress we have made and inspired to continue the fight for full acceptance and equality for all.

🥥 A superstitious person could look upon all these Boeing Starliner launch delays as a bad omen and reason to avoid going aloft in one.
But far be it from me to try to influence anyone's personal choices. 🥥

The CEO-to-worker pay gap at America’s largest companies was 344-to-1 last year.

In 1965, the ratio was 20-to-1.

This explosion in CEO pay relative to the pay of workers isn’t because CEOs have become so much more valuable.

They've just gamed the system to line their pockets.

@rbreich
🥥 Eye submit that the 344-to-1 pay gap between overpaid CEOs and their employees is fueling low pay for workers in ways that are both obvious -- in the US wealth gap -- and hidden -- as in the inflation of most goods and services.
And don't even get me started on how blatantly the toxic rich are purchasing elected officials, the judicial system, and policing. 🥥
