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.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

When Fischer tried to shake Emhoff’s hand at the inauguration, Emhoff said, “Why would you try to shake my hand when you wouldn’t shake my wife’s hand?”

My heart is broken. Mostly I've been angry lately, but today I'm just very very sad.
We are losing everything that makes America great and replacing it with hate and stupidity.
The America I know and love will never be the same.
I'm so very very sad. This is a tragic loss.

You will read countless times today that the LA mayor cut the LA Fire Department's budget by $23 million.
That is a lie.
The budget was actually *increased* by $50 million.
