This man needs to be the next James Bond. Make it happen, Denis!
Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare. Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s 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.
He would be a great Wolverine as well.
Why do you appreciate unions? I’ll start: Weekends off Paid vacations Work breaks Sick leave Paid holidays No child labor Safer working conditions Health care and retirement benefits

😆 Unfortunately even more accurate.
This should be headline news - the implications are horrifying …
70.6% of states with the highest union density have paid sick leave laws, compared with just 11.8% of low-union-density states. Unions don’t just help union workers—they make their communities better places, lifting standards for ALL workers 🌇 Learn more: www.epi.org/publication/...

Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024. This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500. Remember this before you order your next pumpkin spice latte.
To Donald Trump and his administration: If you hurt my people, nothing will stop me — not time or political circumstance — from making sure you face justice under our constitutional rule of law.
NEW: Union density is 2x higher in abortion-protected states than in abortion-restricted states Unions aren't just a workplace issue. They also give workers a voice in shaping their communities, including strengthening reproductive freedom. Learn more in our new blog: www.epi.org/blog/unions-...

Yep. Jillian Michaels always was an obnoxious D-List celebrity asshole. Her current run as an obnoxious asshole trumphumper was inevitable.
Speaking of hyper-reality & fascism, you will appreciate this brutally hilarious video essay from The Elephant Graveyard. m.youtube.com/watch?v=ewvR...
Over a quarter of all homes sold in the first three months of 2025 were bought by real estate investors. If we want to make housing affordable again, we must get Wall Street out of our homes. https://youtu.be/q9TOGxDJ0TE?feature=shared
Walmart spent $35.3B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024, enough to give each of its 2.2M employees annual bonuses of $2,719. Last year, Walmart CEO Doug McMillon pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay of just $29,469. Textbook corporate greed.
"The Gilded Beak, have you heard of it? 'Urban aviary meets al fresco pretension,' the website says."
Median household income is $12,000 higher in states with high union density than in states with low union density 📈 Unions don’t just help union workers—they help ALL workers by setting higher standards that nonunion employers must meet to attract & retain workers. www.epi.org/publication/...
Yep, Thom Hartmann has over 77k followers here. Michael Wolff has 1.5k hahaha
Nothing and nobody is good enough for the great Michael Wolff. Get over yourself, boomer... you ain't that interesting.
Nah, you were just being a self-important prick.
Meh. You’re just another corporate political hack.
Do shut the fuck up.
The clearest picture of corporate greed in this country is CEO-to-worker pay ratios. At the 100 lowest-paying major US companies, CEO pay averaged $17.2M in 2024. Median worker pay at these companies was just $35,570. That’s a ratio of 632 to 1. How can anyone defend this?
Wow, Thom… Michael Wolff is a spectacularly self-important asshole, huh. Very kind of you to not just hang up on that rude prick.

Unions boost wages 🚀 On average, a union worker earns 12.8% more in wages than their nonunionized peers. But unions don’t just help union workers—they help ALL workers by raising standards. Read our new report about how unions are good for workers AND communities: www.epi.org/publication/...

Yesterday in California, a father and his sons, who were all legal citizens, were attacked by masked federal agents. They surrounded their vehicle and smashed the windows. They refused to identify themselves so when they broke the windows the father drove away, scared for the welfare of his sons. /

Obviously, studios will always look to pay less because they’re run by amoral corporate hacks… but clear to me that Medicare for All would not only save lives, but jobs too since it’s a big cost the corps wouldn’t have to pick up.
Mark Zuckerberg has spent $110M to buy 11 houses in one Palo Alto neighborhood. He's turning the homes into a compound. That's on top of his 30 bedroom, 30 bathroom compound in Hawaii and another in Lake Tahoe. I don’t want to hear that billionaires can’t afford a wealth tax.

American corporations are on pace to spend $1.1 trillion on stock buybacks in 2025, an all-time high. Buybacks don't create more jobs, increase wages, or grow the economy — but they do help juice CEO pay that's often tied to stock performance. Nothing trickles down to workers.

Fair enough... It is a 40 yr old cartoon show. But it was incredibly fun & cheesy sci-fantasy, and the voice cast was excellent. The voice of Panthro was Earle Hyman who had an impressive baritone (and he was the grandfather on the Cosby Show too). www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovMS...

"It's a tale as old as time. Women have always been publicly hot to sell jeans in a way that winkingly references eugenics, just like presidents have always used a barrage of lawsuits and retaliation threats to force media companies to stop unfavorable coverage of them."

Friendly reminder that school administrators tend to take complaints from parents much more seriously than the same complaints from teachers. So if your kids’ school district is using PragerU stuff, please speak up.

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

We should have the House right now. Let me say it again: we should have the House. This ain’t just a Texas problem, it’s a national problem. They’re stealing seats to keep power, and that’s how we ended up with Speaker Johnson instead of Speaker Jeffries. They can’t win fair, so they cheat.
