Say it with me “Thank you neo-liberalism!”
Over the last 40 years, the income share going to the middle-class fell from 62% to 43%

The share held by the wealthy increased from 29% to 48%

Real wage growth was highest for the top 10%

We need stronger unions, an increased minimum wage and affordable education to help level the playing field

Day 4 without heat or hot water in freezing temps. Day ?? of my mom in the hospital waiting for a transfer to a hospital that can actually treat her but, of course, no empty beds. It’s just so hopeless. Go hug your hot water. It’s a gift.

Demagogues, oligarchs, and literal teenage boys are tearing apart our government. They are fueled by Silicon Valley’s dream of a monarchist network state and blood and soil white nationalism and every day they are in power means years of work required to fix it.

The Trump administration is scrubbing the CDC’s website of documents on reproductive rights issues, sexual health, intimate partner violence, and more.

I'm trying to save them.

You can find the deleted docs at cdcguidelines.com - I'll be adding more over the weekend.

Truly, primary every single Democrat who supports the MAGA agenda. Incomprehensible. Also ask them why they hate dogs.

Senator Tim Kaine of Virginia
Senator Andy Kim of New Jersey
Senator Gary Peters of Michigan
Senator Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire

The problem with Connolly as top Democrat in charge of oversight isn't just that he's 74. He is way too Washington brained. Nowhere in this statement on Trump's firing of 17 inspectors general does he explain what they do

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it.

It's just nice to know people think positively about me at all when my consciousness doesn't know 🥲
The fact that Ysha @activistwitch.bsky.social only has 299 followers is a little whack to me. She's an amazing educated activist witch and y'all should go follow them. #witchsky #Occultsky #pagansky #witchcraft
