Very true. Instead, let's mandate ESOPs for companies of a certain size, use the SBA to help employees buy businesses of retiring boomers, and put in place co-determination laws where labor gets board seats of major corporations. Gov't should stay out of private business board rooms!

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.

The belief that trans people should be discriminated against because they are inherently predatory, as opposed to the cis strangers that parents allow their children to share a bathroom with, is in fact a crystal clear example of anti-trans bigotry (and mirrors other forms of bigotry, I might add)

Read this exceptional piece by @vermontgmg.bsky.social: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/america-ti...

I think many Americans wrongly believe there would be one clear unambiguous moment where we go from “democracy” to “authoritarianism.” Instead, this is exactly how it happens — a blurring here, a norm destroyed there, a presidential diktat unchallenged. Then you wake up one morning and our country is different. Today, August 25, 2025, is that morning. Something is materially different in our country this week than last.
