CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1

CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1

Trickle-down economics was always a sham.

Nothing has ever trickled down.

Australia just recorded zero cervical cancer cases in women under 25 for the first time since records began in 1982. The amazing result of HPV vaccination.

Ashamed to say I'd never had sweet potato pie before today.

Tried three today: the well-known Patti LaBelle pie from Wal-Mart, a recipe that viewers suggested I make at home, and a slice from Denver's famous Welton Street Cafe.

(You're dismissed now, pumpkin pie. We're done.)

This grassroots rebellion can decapitate Supreme Court's catastrophic mistake
Several of you have told me that the first step out of the mess we’re in is to get rid of the Supreme Court’s bonkers Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission decision of 2010, which held that corporations are people — entitled to the same First Amendment protection as the rest of us.Corporate...

So very true! Thank you @introvertproblems.bsky.social
Why do people act like fun only counts if it’s parties, trips, or busy plans? I can stay in bed with snacks, binge random shows, scroll through playlists, stare at the ceiling for hours, and still feel like I’m living my best life

Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays:

Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink.

If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business.

Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

Yesterday I tried to put everything I knew about whistles—where to get them, where to get instruction sheets, how to distro—into one place so you can build off it for your own community's whistle needs: dansinker.com/posts/2025-1...

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.

Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

The amount someone earns after completing a professional degree does not accurately portray its total value in our society.

If it was a true reflection of social worth then educators, nurses, and librarians would be paid high six figures.

A lot of disinformation is circulating about what Senators/Representatives Slotkin, Kelly, Crow, Deluzio, Goodlander, and Houlahan actually said. Here is the transcript. It contains no accusation that the President issued unlawful orders, no call to disobey lawful orders, and no advocacy of mutiny.

Let’s be clear: Every year the retirement age is raised is a 7% benefit cut.

Instead of cutting our benefits, we can afford to INCREASE Social Security if millionaires and billionaires pay their fair share!

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

AOC to @pabloreports.bsky.social : A swastika is one of the clearest symbols of hatred in all of humanity… to remove that designation… indicates a possible collaboration with those very elements, which I think is genuinely frightening to any American.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.

If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

“We don’t deserve the trust of the nation if we’re unclear about the divisiveness of swastikas,” the official said, speaking on the condition of anonymity due to a fear of reprisal.

U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses as hate symbols
The military service, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, has drafted a new policy that classifies such items “potentially divisive.”

Wtf is up with people signing off their emails with "Warmly"? Just say "Thanks," "Sincerely," or nothing at all.
