CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1

CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1

Trickle-down economics was always a sham.

Nothing has ever trickled down.

An apology is insufficient. Everyone email foxfeedback@foxnews.com and tell them Kilmeade must be fired immediately. #GoodTrouble

Ezra Klein's take is just mind-boggingly bad.

No, Charlie Kirk was not practicing politics the right way
His assassination deserves full condemnation; his full impact should not be sidestepped.

There has been a rush among centrists like Gavin Newsom and Ezra Klein to brush over the hateful life of Charlie Kirk and valorize the man.

Let me be clear, killing Charlie Kirk was wrong and abhorrent.

We must condemn murder without sanitizing a man who built his empire on hate.

My latest piece.
We Must Not Posthumously Sanitize Charlie Kirk's Hateful Life
Influential anti-LGBTQ+ activist Charlie Kirk was assassinated on Wednesday. While condemning violence is something most can get behind, sanitization of his hate has gone too far.

Do not try to tell me about individuals when I’m talking to you about systems.

I see your disingenuous attempt to let the status quo continue as is without engaging with the larger moral implications of this moment.

Nope.

@mswl.bsky.social is this the right place? Not seeing any posts here.

But, did you know that there was a time not yet even 100 years ago when the US president signed an executive order to round up and incarcerate US citizens based on race? I have a YA ms about it. Anyone interested?

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations.

If you're 45, that number is 74.7%.

If you're under 28, the number is 100%.

Happy Labor Day.

Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare.

Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed.

Getting big money out of politics.

Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages.

If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.

Your Prime Day reminder that half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food & housing costs.

A third have had to rely on government assistance like SNAP — which is about to get cut.

If Bezos can spend $50M on a wedding, Amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity.

A very sensible list. This shouldn’t be so damned hard.
-A living wage
-Guaranteed healthcare
-The right to join a union
-The right to vote
-The right to choose when, how, and with whom you start a family
-The right for you and your family to live free from gun violence

These are the foundations of real freedom.

For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government.

But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders — pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes.

Where is the outrage over that?

After killing off wolves in the U.S. Rocky Mountains by the 1930s, the U.S. government sent Carter Niemeyer and a small team to Canada 30 years ago to sedate, catch, study and reintroduce wolves to the American West. Here is their story, the first in a five-part series and accompanying podcast.

30 years ago, the U.S. government undertook its most controversial wildlife program yet: restoring wolves to Idaho and Yellowstone.
