Worth noting, as Macklemore was banned by NFL owners in what will be dubbed "fighting antisemitism", that Kanye, who
- sold merch with swastikas
- said on Alex Jones that he idolizes Hitler
- tweeted he was "going Defcon 3 on Jewish people"
is currently on a multi-city tour of NFL stadiums

New: Macklemore says Robert Kraft — who owns Gillette Stadium, where Macklemore & Ed Sheeran were to perform later this month — called Sheeran.
Kraft rallied other owners together behind an ultimatum for Sheeran: if Macklemore stays on the tour, you won't be allowed in our venues.

In honor of Macklemore being a mensch, let's revisit Thrift Shop. Not only is this song hilarious, it has the most banging sax hook in modern history. And it captures Seattle culture in a nutshell. We are thrift store FIENDS. I wore 90% of my wardrobe from thrift stores in HS and looked amazing.

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.

Happy 72nd Birthday to Ruby Bridges, who at the age of 6 desegregated the New Orleans public schools.
She’s younger than 30 senators and our last two presidents—and only 7 years older than Barack Obama.

Our entry into Look at This Thing Thursday is a small model of a 1998 Dodge Caravan SE
But not just *any* 1998 Dodge Caravan SE. Everybody has that.
This is a scale model, down to the *Highly-Cringe* early 00's bumperstickers, interior decor, and rattle-can Guernica bulb, of Denise, our first car.

Huge corporations like Amazon, Walmart, and Uber are among the top employers of SNAP and Medicaid recipients.
Meanwhile, their CEOs are raking in multi-million dollar pay packages.
