Looks like the Dems will pick up 12 seats in the VA House of Delegates, which will go from 51-49 to 63-37 D-R. That's an honestly shocking result.

It was concerning to see numerous federal workers in need lined up for the donated food, but it was heartening to be among the many dedicated community volunteers including #MarkSickles supporting them. #UnitedCommunity is a fantastic charity that I am grateful for — and I am proud to support.

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.
