This is what a rigged economy looks like:
In the 1970s, CEOs made 27 times more than the average worker.
In the 1980s, CEOs made 48 times more than the average worker.
This decade, CEOs are making 354 times more than the average worker.
That has got to change.

Thanks @thetnholler.bsky.social for fixing it! This is an attack on historical integrity and a prioritization of political ideology over truth. Shame!

'Segregated facilities' are no longer explicitly banned in federal contracts
The Trump administration cut a clause from federal contracting rules that had been on the books since the 1960s: Companies are no longer explicitly prohibited from having segregated facilities.

As predicted, women in New Hampshire had a hard time voting yesterday because of the new proof of citizenship law:
“It doesn’t have my married name on it,” she said. Town voting officials then sent her away a second time, to get her marriage certificate.

NH’s new ID requirements send some would-be voters home to grab passports, birth certificates
The law requires all new voters to show proof of their U.S. citizenship. For some, that meant making multiple trips to and from the polls before finally casting a ballot on Tuesday.

Much of the chaos of the past few weeks can be understood as part of the Trump administration’s "central ideological project: restoring America’s traditional hierarchies of race and gender," @adamserwer writes. Call it the “Great Resegregation." www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
