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.

Trump is baiting nonwhite people to riot so that he can declare a national emergency and enact martial law. That way he can even suspend federal elections. I really hope nonwhites don't take the bait.

Of course not. It's all part of the big show that the master con man is putting on for MAGA. He knows they like law and order to crack down on nonwhites, so he throws them some red meat by parading around the National Guard in the cities.

Exactly. People lose sight of how elections are won with independent voters. Democrats need to convince them their lives will be better off with Democrats in charge and communicate it in the media they follow. It includes securing our southern border. Taking that issue away from Republicans is key.
