Folks are shocked that their institutions, after professing commitments to climate justice and DEI, are now caving to Trump and scrubbing all references.
It's brutal.
And it's the smallest taste of what our students felt when their universities called in the cops b/c they protested a genocide.

So it's dangerous for China to have the ability to access our data and manipulate us via social media apps.
But it's okay for America's billionaires to have the ability to access our data and manipulate us via social media apps.
Do I have this right?

Reminder: The key to economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the wealthy. The secret to prosperity is investment in American workers.
When workers have more to spend, the economy grows, and businesses create more jobs.
It’s a virtuous cycle.

The system is working exactly as it was designed - to extract wealth from the middle class and poor, and funnel it to the very wealthy. Time to #taxtherich
America's richest 10% now hold 60% of the nation's wealth.
The bottom half of America? It holds just 6%.
Wealth inequality is eating this country alive.

15 House Dems just voted for HR 9495, which would give Trump power to name any advocacy group or nonprofit as “terrorist affiliated" with no due process.
Senate Dems must not let this attack on free speech come up for a vote during the lame-duck.
If it does, they must vote NO.

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978?
100%? 500%?
Try 1,085%
Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.
