The 100 lowest-paying US corporations spent $644B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024.

Buybacks artificially boost share prices and inflate CEO pay.

The typical worker at these companies earned $35k last year.

Meanwhile, the average CEO was paid $17.2M

See the problem?

🚨 Elise Stefanik received this award from her allies involved in the racist text messaging scandal.

Elise posed with Bobby Walker who referred to rape as “epic” and Peter Giunta who texted, “I love Hitler,” called NBA games, “monkey …ball” and Black people “watermelon people.”

Democrats want a government funding bill that won't raise your health care costs by 75%.

Trump won't even meet with them.

He’s shutting the government down and making health care even more expensive for families.

What a bad deal for America.

Trump's tirade pins political violence on the left, yet data reveals right-wing extremism claims 75-80% of domestic terror fatalities since 2001—pure projection from the peril's progenitors. #PoliticalViolence

Jimmy Kimmel was suspended by ABC after pressure from the United States government. This is a direct attack on the First Amendment.

Everyone who values freedom of speech should be outraged — and they should speak out.

Survivors are the ones put on trial. They are aggressively interrogated, blamed for what they wore, or said, or how much they drank, but the guy who slipped a date rape drug into their drink isn't held to the same standard. Even the victims' past relationships are fair game... #BelieveWomen

Republicans in Congress have structured the most painful benefit cuts in their budget bill to kick in AFTER the 2026 midterms. 

But the tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy? Those begin immediately.

Remember this.

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security. 
 
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
 
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.
