CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%. 

Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

As Trump tries to dismantle the Department of Education, remember that his plan to cut the corporate tax rate to 15% would give the 100 largest corporations a tax cut larger than the entire department's K-12 budget.

Really think about how twisted this all is.

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.

—Harry Truman, 1952

For anyone who hadn’t noticed: Trump and Vance buried what was left of the transatlantic alliance by berating and trying to humiliate Zelensky today, openly siding with the aggressor Russia. What a shameful, utterly disgraceful display of who these 2 truly align with.

i’m so ashamed of and embarrassed for the us right now. what a disgusting display of cowardice and cruelty. this is one of those pivotal before & after days in history books.
