Wages of unionized workers are 13% higher than their nonunion counterparts.
But unions also set a higher pay standard that all workers enjoy.
In high-union-density states, median household income is $12,000 higher than in low-union-density states.
This is why unions are vital.

I want a presidential candidate who promises to construct Union memorials and statues all over the country.
And yeah, North and South. Blanket Virginia with statues of Thomas, who actually chose the right side.
Hell, put one of Sherman in the middle of Peachtree Park.

Trump and his Republican allies are betraying those who believed in the promise that is America and put their lives on the line to help us. "In Afghanistan, we were scared of the Taliban," he said. "We have the same feeling here from ICE detention” www.bbc.com/news/article...

Afghan refugees in the US say they fear what would happen if they return to their country, which is now controlled by the Taliban.

If you want to put back statues and memorials and names of Confederate traitors while tearing down museum exhibitions on slavery because they don't show the greatness of the nation... the nation whose history you're celebrating is whiteness. The kind of nationalist you are is a white nationalist.

As a former Texas State Rep, let me be clear: LOCKING Rep. Nicole Collier inside the chamber is beyond outrageous.
Forcing elected officials to sign “permission slips” & take police escorts to leave? That’s not procedure. That’s some old Jim Crow playbook.

The president lies like an AI chat bot. Literally just hallucinates things that never ever happened and everyone just nods along
Trump: "When you go to a voting booth, and you do it the right way, and you go to a state that runs it properly, you go in -- they even asked me, they asked me for my license plate. I said, 'I don't know if I have it.' They said, 'Sir, you have to have it.' I was very impressed actually."

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.
