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.

Some of the best movies ever made were by Rob Reiner. They made us laugh and think: The Princess Bride, When Harry Met Sally, A Few Good Men. And he was a force on screen as well in All in the Family and so many films.

What a tragic loss. Words fail with news like this.

Proof it's about oil not drugs.

Trump pardons cocaine kingpin who ruled Honduras convicted in March of 2024 after a three-week jury trial in New York City. He was " the largest and most murderous violent drug-trafficker in the world," who brought more than 400 tons of cocaine into the U.S.- via DOJ

Elon Musk’s new pay package could amount to $100B per year ($1 trillion over ten years!).

That's the same as 3.2 million cashiers’ paychecks combined.

It’s more than 1.4 million elementary school teachers’ paychecks.

It’s more than 2 million janitors’ paychecks.

The system is broken.

RFK Jr: "Two weeks ago we ended, under your leadership, a twenty year war on women".

Three out of five men in this shot have been accused of sexual misconduct, harassment or abusive behaviour towards women. A fourth signed into law a near-total abortion ban in his state as governor.

Trump just gave a commutation to David Gentile, a private equity executive who defrauded investors of $1.6B.

Meanwhile, Trump's regime has also scrapped enforcement actions against over 160 corporations accused of misconduct.

A new Golden Age for corporate criminals.

Congress Must Loudly Affirm: The Military Must Refuse Illegal Orders
Text SIGN PVDVSY to 50409 — I am writing today with a simple and urgent request: every member of Congress, regardless of party, must publicly affirm a principle that is foundational to military discipline, American law, and the Constitution—U.S. service members must refuse illegal orders. This rule is not partisan. It is not new. It is not controversial in any professional military context. It is the law. Last week, several veterans now serving in Congress released a short video reminding service members of their oath and this long-standing legal requirement. Senator Mark Kelly—retired Navy captain, combat veteran, and former astronaut—participated in that message. His statement merely repeated what is written plainly in the Uniform Code of Military Justice and the Army Field Manual: following unlawful orders is not a defense, and troops are expected to refuse them. Despite this, the Pentagon announced it is “investigating” Sen. Kelly, citing the ability to recall retired service members for disciplinary action. It is extraordinary for the Department of Defense to target a sitting senator over a lawful, accurate statement of military obligations. Constitutional scholars across the political spectrum have already warned that using military recall authority in this way risks violating the separation of powers and legislative independence. Meanwhile, the President escalated the rhetoric by accusing the lawmakers of “sedition” and reposting calls for them to be put to death. These comments were so concerning that congressional leaders contacted law enforcement to ensure members’ safety. Regardless of party, this is not the direction our country should go. Sen. Kelly responded by reaffirming his lifetime of service and stating that he would not be intimidated from doing his duty. His message was not about politics—it was about the rule of law. That is why Congress must step forward now. If only one or two members defend the principle that illegal orders must be refused, they become isolated targets. But if Republicans and Democrats alike make the same statement, it becomes what it truly is: a shared commitment to lawful military conduct and constitutional government. This is not about opposing any President. It is not about second-guessing policy. It is about ensuring that our military—as an institution—remains grounded in legality, order, and discipline. Every member of the armed forces, from the newest recruit to the highest-ranking officer, benefits from clear expectations and a united message from civilian leadership. When future crises come—and they always do—the stability of our country will depend on Congress speaking with one voice on this basic point: American service members must obey lawful orders, and they must refuse unlawful ones. Supporting them in that duty is not partisan—it is patriotic. I urge you to join your colleagues in affirming this essential principle publicly and without hesitation.

Thou shalt not support a man who bulldozes the White House to build himself a golden ballroom whilst the government is shut down because he doesn’t want the financial records tying him to Jeffrey Epstein to come out.
Damn Trump For Destroying The White House
Imagine their reaction if Obama had done this.
