Billionaires like Trump and Musk don’t have a clue what it means for working families when it becomes too expensive to buy your kid a birthday present.

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978?
100%? 500%?
Try 1,085%
Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

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.

I just finished reading Dashka Slater's 'The 57 Bus', and it was so well written and moving. I highly recommend it. It takes a heartbreaking situation and makes it easy to break down and digest. The subject matter is so important, especially in today's political climate.

Trump has ordered the US government to move forward with plans to mine the ocean floor an area nearly every other country considers off-limits to industrial exploitation. His executive order sidesteps a decades-old international treaty ratified by every major coastal nation except the United States.

Yes, the stock market may be tanking and our national security apparatus has never been more vulnerable and we're on the verge of both economic collapse and war, but it was all worth it to keep pronouns out of email signatures.

The Emotional Toll of Polio
Six months after I beat my polio infection, I re-learned how to walk. But my life wasn’t the same.

America has never been subject to this level of authoritarianism, and quite frankly, sheer incompetence.
Out of the ashes, this moment should radicalize us to embark on an era of new reform — of our economy, our democracy, and our commitment to social justice and the law.

I'm old enough to remember when polio ripped through the globe and put my friends into iron lungs.
We dutifully lined up at school to get vaccinated. We eradicated the disease. We protected the common good and saved lives.
RFK Jr leading HHS is a disgrace.

This is something that RFK Jr. also claims, incorrectly. It’s the opposite. Measles can cause “immune amnesia” which makes your immune system “forget” its hard-won memory of previous infections. Absolutely devastating. My heart goes out to the entire family. www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...
