Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%
Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%
Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.
As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

Requiring foreign visitors to hand over 5 years of social media isn’t “security,” it’s unchecked government control.
All-seeing surveillance systems don’t make us safer. They are in direct opposition to our civil liberties.

Foreign tourists could be required to disclose 5 years of social media histories under Trump administration plan
The Customs and Border Protection proposal would apply even to countries that don't require visas to enter.

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.”
What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”
Funny how that works.

A day or so ago, I was watching a clip from CNN on Hesgeth, they started talking about the prediction market on him resigning, and was like, “…why tf is this gambling shit on CNN?!”
So this is why. This “future sucks.”

The bottom 90% lost a collective $79 trillion in wages over the past 50 years.
Why? Because the top 1% ate up an increasingly larger share of the national income — so that $79 trillion flowed to them instead of the working class.
The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.

I don’t think it’s that crazy that Marjorie Taylor Greene would resign and join Cameo like George Santos. What’s crazy is that people like her ever get elected. Looking forward to her being outed as the Jan. 6 pipe bomber and thrown in prison.

Turning the military on citizens.
Attempting to rig elections.
Toying with the idea of declaring martial law.
Attacking political opponents and calling for their executions.
If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
