Pritzker: "We don't want troops on the streets of American cities. That's un-American and frankly the president ought to know better. This one doesn't seem to. He hasn't read any books. He doesn't seem to understand the Constitution or the laws."

THE GREAT GILDERSLEEVE debuted on NBC radio #OTD in 1941. FIBBER McGEE AND MOLLYโs blustery breakout character got his own show, in an early example of a spin-off. Star Harold Peary also headlined a RKO film series โ but lost his radio job to a soundalike in a contract dispute. #OTR #OldTimeRadio

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.

Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare. Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Streetโs greed. Getting big money out of politics. Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages. If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.
