The truth is simple: trans people didn’t ship our jobs overseas. Immigrants didn’t cut millions of Americans’ healthcare.
The real problem is obscene wealth concentration and corporate greed.
We cannot get tricked by their scapegoating.

THIS is the passion and energy we need to fight fascism.
Yes, I'm taking the first step towards Noem's impeachment.
I demand a full investigation into Secretary Noem's unlawful actions and unethical behavior. The people will have accountability.

The CEO-to-worker pay ratio for S&P 500 companies was 285-to-1 last year.
And now these CEOs will get a tax cut of roughly $500K thanks to Trump’s big, ugly bill — 639x more than the median U.S. worker.
Is it any wonder so many people think the system is rigged?

I'm no expert, but this sure looks like unarmed civilians being fired upon.
This is what Palestinians are living through every single day. Told to cross through deadly territory only to be placed in concentration camps and fired upon while seeking food.
Every politician funding and arming this will be remembered only as monsters and nothing else

ICE agents get more in bonuses than many working class Americans EARN in a year.
On May Day—the day we honor workers—Republicans want you to know who really matters to them: ICE agents.
The average American worker gets a $2,500 bonus. ICE employees? Try $42,500.
Jaime Raskin has questions. Jared Moskowitz has the receipts.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 86%
Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 31%
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.

Remember that time that there was a global pandemic and a bunch of Trump insiders got inside information and made serious bank investing in masks and pharma? It's a good thing that was investigated and prosecuted, we wouldn't want anything like that to happen again...
