It’s important to understand just how rich billionaires really are.

Hah!

My new op-ed on layoffs ⬇️

“...the real driver behind layoffs is the corporate pursuit of higher profits for shareholders and big pay outs for millionaire executives.”

REMINDER: Starbucks workers are still on strike.

Don’t cross the picket line!
January 6, 2026 at 6:30 PM
Spoiler alert: It's working on behalf of workers.

Here's what a day in my life looks like as President of UFCW 3000.
December 27, 2025 at 9:59 PM
When we can see that we're all good people, it's harder to divide us.
December 23, 2025 at 8:21 PM
How can workers organize and build power without a union?

Let's talk.
December 21, 2025 at 9:28 PM
UFCW 3000 represents 5000 nurses.

To disincentive young people from going into an essential, highly skilled profession like nursing is lunacy.

You're not a "success" if you exploit your workers.
December 17, 2025 at 6:42 PM
I want my old QFC and my old Fred Meyer back!

We need to reverse consolidate.
December 16, 2025 at 12:52 AM
Textbook corporate greed.
December 14, 2025 at 7:42 PM
Corporate consolidation hurts all of us.
December 12, 2025 at 6:42 PM
This is how big businesses rewrite the rules for themselves. Unions are how the rest of us fight back.

Break up the monopolies.
December 8, 2025 at 5:47 PM
More monopolies = higher prices for all of us.
December 1, 2025 at 1:24 AM
Time to tax billionaires and break up the monopolies.

If your employees need welfare to get by, you’re not paying a living wage.

Full stop.
November 29, 2025 at 6:04 PM
🙄yet another way for tech billionaires to grab more power – and it will ultimately be at the expense of workers.
November 26, 2025 at 5:24 PM
Good idea – let’s see more of this.
November 24, 2025 at 6:34 PM
We’re living in a two-tiered economy.

Corporate profits surged over 35% since Trump’s tariffs. Meanwhile, layoffs have exploded to over 1.1 million this year – the highest since the pandemic.
November 22, 2025 at 7:34 PM
Fortune 500 companies who make taxpayers subsidize pay for their employees’ food stamps are the real welfare queens.
November 21, 2025 at 6:26 PM
Elon Musk is being offered a trillion dollars to make robots while the rest of us are seeing costs skyrocket? Really?
November 18, 2025 at 5:46 PM
The government shutdown is over, but the cat is out of the bag. We’ve seen where this Congress’ priorities lie.

The poor and middle class should never again be used as a bargaining chip.
