One week ago, thousands of New Yorkers tried something new.

They heard about it last minute. They didn’t know where it would take them or who they would meet. It was free, earnest, even educational.

It was the #ZcavengerHunt and it was a thing of beauty.

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.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.

Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.

The list goes on and on.

Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

Visibility matters. As the latest polling from @dataforprogress.org shows, when adults know a trans person, they are more supportive of trans people.

Idaho passed a bill allowing local law enforcement to act as federal immigration agents without any oversight, helping to facilitate President Trump's mass deportation agenda.

The ACLU of Idaho sued and a judge immediately blocked the law in court.
