If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations.
If you're 45, that number is 74.7%.
If you're under 28, the number is 100%.
Happy Labor Day.

Look at this graph.
The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened.
This is why we must build back union power.

I hope people realize how absolutely fucked this situation is.
This isn’t normal. People are resigning all over the place because the government is mishandling our data, ruining our public health services, and generally making Americans less safe.

It isn’t normal for a president to repeatedly threaten the use of military force against American citizens. Treating the National Guard as a political pawn disrespects those who serve and undermines public trust in our military.

Once again, Trump ignores the Republican states with the highest homicide rates, and instead targets blue states, blue cities, and Black leaders. Trump hasn’t threatened to bring his authoritarian spectacle to any red states. If this was truly about crime, he’d start there.
Trump: "But if Wes Moore needs help, like Gavin Newscum did in L.A., I will send in the 'troops,' which is being done in nearby DC, and quickly clean up the Crime ... Also, I gave Wes Moore a lot of money to fix his demolished bridge. I will now have to rethink that decision???"

The point of putting the military on the streets in cities isn’t to “clean up” those cities, it’s to heighten tension in the hopes that somebody takes a shot at them and gives an excuse for invocation of the insurrection act.
