The 100 lowest-paying US corporations spent $644B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024.
Buybacks artificially boost share prices and inflate CEO pay.
The typical worker at these companies earned $35k last year.
Meanwhile, the average CEO was paid $17.2M
See the problem?

I’ve witnessed 50-plus years of politics. I lived through the unrest of the 1960s and 70s.
I wanted to use this week’s Coffee Klatch to provide some context for this dangerous moment we’re facing right now.

Just a random reminder that trickle-down economics was invented by conservatives in the 1980s to justify massive tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. It’s been nothing short of a disaster.

A pregnant mother in Tennessee was denied care for being unmarried.
This is legal under Tennessee's Medical Ethics Defense Act.

LeVar Burton delivered this testimony in 1995 urging Congress not to cut funding for public broadcasting.
His words remain true 30 years later, as Senate Republicans advance a bill that would slash funding for PBS and NPR.
Tell your senators to oppose these cuts: (202) 224-3121.

Big Oil companies and executives donated more than $19 million to Trump’s inauguration fund. Now they’re cashing in with:
-Billions in giveaways in the big, ugly bill
-Former executives in charge of key agencies
-Executive orders to boost fossil fuel production
See how this works?

A State Department employee shared with PBS News an image from inside the department. The image includes a piece of paper taped to a mirror with the words, "Colleagues, if you remain: RESIST FASCISM. Remember the oath you vowed to uphold."

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe.
Will we listen to his words today?

Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful.
They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone.
Don't fall for it.
