Layoffs have hit over 1.1M so far this year — the most since the pandemic.
Yet corporate profits continue to hit record highs, with corporations increasingly spending those earnings on stock buybacks to enrich execs and shareholders.
This is what a rigged economy looks like.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.
Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.
Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.
But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.

It has now been SIX DAYS since Donald Trump has delivered any public remarks.
His last public remarks were on August 25th, during a ceremony in the Oval Office.
THIS IS NOT NORMAL.

Look at this graph.
The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened.
This is why we must build back union power.

Our state is in crisis — not just a crisis of policy, not right versus left, but a crisis of right versus wrong.
It doesn’t have to be this way.

DOGE is reportedly threatening NOAA with massive staff and budget cuts.
NOAA houses the National Weather Service and National Hurricane Center, which produce forecasts and warn people about storms.
This attack on public safety is ripped straight from the pages of Project 2025.

It’s just a matter of time until a lot of people lose money from this.
