Labor productivity has more than doubled since the late 1960s. But workers’ compensation has barely budged.
Yes. The economy is rigged in favor of the wealthy.

I assumed that the news would distress me the most this year. But seeing so many awful takes from people that I personally know has been FAR WORSE. I didn’t expect this many people to mindlessly adopt the malicious rhetoric and illogical narratives spewed by those with the most political power.

Don't comply in advance.
We are watching people in fear trying to avoid pain by censoring themselves and changing their behavior before being compelled to.
Following rules of a group is pro-social behavior that is dangerous now. How can you resist this urge as a law-abiding citizen? A quick 🧵

People need to realize that others can hear your silence. Your silence becomes even louder when you finally choose to break it. You don’t need to post about every tragedy that occurs, but be mindful of the conclusions that can be drawn from your selective silence.

I think everyone should read a book from an unreliable narrator at some point in their childhood. I feel like it would help a lot of people recognize when someone is untrustworthy without needing someone else to tell them that.

I LOVE when movies go the extra mile. The Devil Wears Prada came out YEARS ago but almost all of the outfits are still stunning today because they cared enough to work with real fashion experts to create timeless looks. Social media is filled with so much bad news that I thought I’d share this.

Alt: Meryl Streep in the movie The Devil Wears Prada is sitting in an office chair and looks Anne Hathaway up and down, then says “That’s all.” She casually turns away by swiveling her chair to signal the conversation is over.

The U.S is the wealthiest country in the history of the world. We should not have the highest rate of child poverty of nearly every major country on earth. We should have the lowest.
It's time to end this international embarrassment & create an economy that works for all.

22 years & a day ago, 23 year old Rachel Corrie from the United States was intentionally crushed by a bulldozer directed by Israeli forces to destroy a building to brutally enforce its illegal occupation. Israel investigated itself & found itself impeccable despite eyewitnesses, and the US nodded.

Netanyahu’s extremist government has halted ALL humanitarian aid into Gaza.
Starving children is a war crime.
UN leaders said: "International humanitarian law is clear: we must be allowed access to deliver vital lifesaving aid. We need to get aid in and the hostages out.”
