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.

History teaches us that the way to stand up to a dictator is to fight back against him, not capitulate to him.
Surrendering to tyranny invites more of it.
This moment we're in should not be met with a "moderate" response.
Luckily, some Democrats starting to understand this.

Random reminder that banning members of Congress from trading stock is a total no brainer.
They can use privileged information to make money on the stock market, while they’re supposed to be working for you.
Make no mistake — it’s legalized corruption.

ICE has detained Kseniia Petrova, a Harvard scientist from Russia working on major advancements in cancer detection, since mid-February.
If deported, she could face arrest over her opposition to the war in Ukraine.
