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 don't know too much about Cornel West, but Jill Stein is a traitor, and since I trust you, Chris, I suspect Cornel West is, too. Stein absolutely knows that she would never be elected, but she also knows that our elections are close so it's very likely that she can impact the outcome.
I'm still waiting for the relentless onslaught of media demands for a press conference and calls to resign.

FEDERAL AGENTS TAKE NOTE… It’s not just Chicago standing strong. Other blue cities and governors are ready to unite against Trump’s federal invasion. I’m not an attorney, but this point seems huge: if federal agents break state or city laws, they can prosecuted. And Trump cannot pardon them.
He won’t let the press anywhere near him. This is getting weirder and weirder.
Old enough to remember this picture. Why the Green Party USA keeps nominating her is beyond me. West took his op money and ran.
They were paid to be right wing ops disguised as “third party candidates”. Stein only shows up every 4 years to help her Kremlin masters. West took the right wing op money and ran. They’re one of the many reasons we’re in this mess.
Jill Stein is in hibernation until the next presidential election.
Media should hound him at least half as much as they hounded Biden. But they won’t.
Life for Palestinians in Gaza has gotten worse under Trump, not better. So where are Jill Stein and Cornel West now? They aren’t leading protests in DC outside the White House, no rallies. Almost like the whole 2024 thing was just performative.
Trump says museums focus too much on the “negative aspects” of American history, like “how bad slavery was.” And plans to purge cultural institutions. But be clear: he’s not talking about alternately uplifting Black inventors, builders, and leaders we were never taught about…
Nevermind Roger’s DNA mixed with the drugs on a cotton ball that was used on him after he was injected…
The United States is slipping from its place as a world leader. You can thank Trump for that.
They were right wing ops who were paid to be right wing ops. Stein pissed off her own party - the International Green Party with her “presidential campaign” (again and after her trip to Moscow). They took their op money and ran.
Also notice how the MSM couldn’t flood Dearborn with reporters fast enough, when Muslims would talk about how they don’t support Harris because of Gaza. Now: zero interest in talking to Muslims about their opinion of Trump and Gaza. I see a pattern here.
Jill Stein and Cornel West both disgust me — such goddamn, self-serving hypocrites.

Remember when we had a really kind person as our President and Leader?
"The straw man being put forward is that it's either we have the military or we're going to get our throats cut at night in DC. Is there no middle ground? Do local law enforcement account for nothing? We've got the National Guard GARDENING right now in DC. Is that an efficient use of our resources?"

"Nobody wants to be a cop [in DC]. They were abused. They were spit on." "When you when you say they were abused and spit on, I'm assuming you're talking about January 6th, correct?" "All you guys want to do was bring up J6 about the answer to everything."
Trump is evil but he is largely irrelevant, he’s not really in charge and is part of a larger criminal network. If Trump were to die, the MAGA network would just prop up another figurehead. Trump is a representative of oligarchy not the head of it.

Garcia: We finally got word from the Epstein estate. They're going to be providing the actual Epstein book… the estate is actually going to actually now get us that book and a bunch of other documents that they have that's actually not been reported yet.
Corporate America’s playbook: 1) Exploit workers to maximize profits 2) Use profits to buy Congress 3) Use Congress to pass union-busting laws 4) Use these laws to further exploit workers 5) Repeat Let's break the cycle and keep building back a powerful labor movement.
On why the media is suddenly covering Epstein: sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/mafia-stat...

@nealkatyal.bsky.social: “You’ve got the president who's imposed the largest tax increase on American consumers since 1993 … and he did it without Congress saying one word. That is not our constitutional structure.”

Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.

They’re traumatizing kids.
Awful. Of course, kids will respond to what they're seeing and imagine horrible outcomes because they're kids. We all did that. So, add terrorizing our children to Trump's list of crimes.
🧊🖕🪖 TERRORIZING KIDS 😲 Schoolkids in DC ride free on Metro, and a lot of them use this benefit to commute to school. They're talking about the soldiers they're seeing at the stations, and the rumor is that if you so much as eat a snack on the train, they will grab you and deport you. ✊ FREE DC!

Trump claims his “economy is booming.” Is that your experience?
The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.
While Trump goes backward on clean energy development, California pushes forward in building an affordable, clean energy future. I signed a new executive order to maintain our progress in adding clean electricity to our power grid while protecting thousands of good-paying jobs.
It’s the House Spinner. It’s the House Squirmer.
Mike Johnson dismisses the unpopularity of the Big Beautiful Bill: "The individual provisions of that giant piece of legislation are wildly popular." CNN host John Berman immediately debunks that claim.
It’s the House Squirmer.
Watch spineless Mike Johnson squirm over the Epstein files
What Tragic Mike doesn’t know is that Newsom can multitask. Meanwhile people in Mike’s district are losing benefits but Mike’s focused on Newsom. Mike needs to go and do his job as House Speaker and represent his district.
