CEOs used to make like 20x the average worker.
In 2024, the average CEO earned 632x more.

The upward redistribution of wealth over the past 50 years has shifted $80 trillion from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1%.
That’s $80 trillion that would have gone into the paychecks of the working class.
The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.

Trump's relentless campaign of fear and intimidation has led to a rapid retreat among hospitals previously offering gender affirming care to adolescents.

The Attack on Transgender Kids Isn’t Just Cruel. It’s an Omen.

2. Those who prevent history from being taught are plotting to repeat it.

@govofco.bsky.social what are you going to do to protect Coloradans from being kidnapped by ICE??
When ICE agents look like this, it is ENTIRELY APPROPRIATE for state and local law enforcement to step in and demand they identify themselves and show judicial warrants before detaining anyone from an immigration court.
Democratic mayor and governors can take action on this.
