Look at this graph.
The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened.
This is why we must build back union power.

Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE) has a bill to return tariff authority to Congress. If it were to pass, the purposeless tariffs would end. Speaker Johnson is blocking it. Call your member of Congress, R or D, & urge a discharge petition on the bill, which forces a vote.

Remember that "I'd like to teach the world to sing" Coke commercial? I think that's what alot of people think a protest looks/feels like. I have some footage from 2014 I'd like to show them.
Reviewing a protest like you're on Yelp. Bringing your apparently very small child to a protest against the United States government. "More singing"?! Jfc

Five years ago, I was waking up to my first day of remote work, which was meant to be a beta test with just some of the organization but ended up being a thing that lasted a long, long time.

1. Major news in transgender care.
Germany, Switzerland, and Austria have just released their trans youth care guidelines.
They strongly recommend trans youth care and slam the
Cass Review in England.
Europe is not "pulling back" on trans care.

Ian Fleming's original James Bond novels haven't aged well. For example, Moonraker - published almost exactly 70 years ago in April 1955 - features a villain who's a super-rich industrialist and rocket-maker seeking to cause chaos because he's a secret Nazi. Such a silly idea!
