Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%

Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%

Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.

As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

Peeps, you DO realize that our non-white friends and neighbors...are now carrying their birth certificates and passports so they can PROVE they are US citizens "just in case"?

There is NO version of America where this is OK. Defund ICE. Restore due process and rule of law.

Merry Christmas to all who celebrate! We had an amazing morning with an ever-changing sunrise and a 7-7 tie vote at the bagel shop for the favorite, so I got to be the tiebreaker today. Tap for full size. I hope you have a great day!

Nothing to see here. This is definitely a normal post that perfectly demonstrates appropriate behavior for a man with grave responsibilities to the nation and absolutely, positively does not show psychological derangement and incapacity to serve as president under section 4 of the 25th Amendment.

I promise you that this version of "Merry Christmas Baby" by Bonnie Raitt and Charles Brown, who was born in Texas City and raised in Galveston, is the best Texas Christmas song you've heard this year. 😀 Listen and tell me if you agree!

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.
