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.

Another handbag for justice. Another purse against fascism. The famous clobber-a-Nazi image from Sweden 40 years ago.
The image that won’t go away
A photo taken in 1985 has resurfaced this week. Kelly Grovier looks at the power of a figure pushed to breaking point.

Stoke fear. Exploit desperation. Suspend the rule of law. Fan brutality.
Every time the stronger brutalize the weak, it’s fundamentally the same playbook.
Our duty is to stand up to brutality.
Our moral obligation is to protect the vulnerable and hold the powerful accountable.

The real story of the upzoning debate in SF right now is that the mayor and the YIMBY supervisors don’t have the courage (or interest) to take on wealthy single family home owners in rich white neighborhoods (upzone Pac Heights, etc) so they are upzoning demolitions of rent controlled homes instead.

Billie Eilish asked an important question: "If you’re a billionaire, why are you a billionaire?"
There are FIVE ways to accumulate a billion dollars:
1) Profiting from a monopoly
2) Insider-trading
3) Political payoffs
4) Fraud
5) Inheritance
Billionaires are the result of a failed system.

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

It's terrible to me that Cuomo is even in the race at all. We, as a nation went, "oh geez! A lot of powerful men are harassing and assaulting women! Well, we've talked about that enough, let's all forget it happened."
It's an affront to women's dignity!

Between what came before and what happened tonight, Dems ought to treat encounters with CBS reporters as presumptively hostile and untrustworthy. A small thing, but there’s no way out of this disaster if the party continues helplessly submitting to unequal treatment from ~all mediating institutions.
