To find low-wage workers for their agricultural investments, billionaires like Bill Gates are using a visa program linked to labor abuses and human trafficking. The scam is a far cry from the program’s supposed aim: helping struggling family farmers.

The summer of 2023 was officially confirmed the hottest one on record. According to the UN’s World Meteorological Organization and the EU-funded Copernicus Climate Change Service, this past June, July, and August were the hottest consecutive 3-month period the planet has ever had. August alone broke records — not only was it the hottest August ever recorded, it was also the second hottest month since record-keeping began. July 2023 was the hottest. ‘The northern hemisphere just had a summer of extremes — with repeated heatwaves fueling devastating wildfires, harming health, disrupting daily lives and wreaking a lasting toll on the environment,’ said World Meteorological Organization Secretary-General Prof. Petteri Taalas in a statement. ‘In the southern hemisphere Antarctic sea ice extent was literally off the charts, and the global sea surface temperature was once again at a new record. It is worth noting that this is happening BEFORE we see the full warming impact of the El Niño event, which typically plays out in the second year after it develops.’

WOW! A Seattle PD officer was captured on body cam footage seemingly laughing about an officer-involved collision that claimed the life of a female pedestrian. He can be heard saying, “She was 26 anyway. She had limited value.” This callous disregard for human life is shocking!

The SPLC and other organizations that study hate and extremism have long warned about the connections between angry political debate and resulting extremist violence. Words matter. Words have consequences.

The clearest picture of corporate greed in this country is CEO-to-worker pay ratios. At the 100 lowest-paying major US companies, CEO pay averages $15.3 million. Median worker pay at these companies is just $31,672. That’s a ratio of 603 to 1. How can anyone defend this?
