America’s wealthiest dodge taxes by living off investments that are not subject to income tax, while essential workers pay more of their income than billionaires like Musk and Bezos. The solution is: TAX THE RICH & fund the future hardworking Americans deserve. www.cbsnews.com/news/income-...
At 1,000+ events across the country during Workers’ Labor Day weekend, America’s unions and working people are standing up and fighting for an economy that works for us, not billionaires and CEOs. Workers built this country, and now, we’re taking it back.
On #LaborDay we celebrate the fight of workers throughout history who've laid it all on the line for the pay and conditions we deserve. We also fully recognize that we're living through a historic moment for workers right now!
“Americans do not want kings! Americans do not want oligarchs!” Thousands cheer Bernie Sanders at the “Workers Over Billionaires” Labor Day rally in Concord.
Trump and Republicans attack unions because they know organized workers are powerful. But let’s be clear: workers built this country—not billionaires. (1/2)
Funny how I’ve seen 1000 articles bemoaning the horror of young men’s prospects since I was young, yet never once have I seen a piece on how young women view the job market/economy Even when they’re the ones going to uni, holding down dom labor + traditional jobs You’d think one might like to know
New Mexico is overriding the federal government on the topic of COVID19 vaccines to ensure their residents can access them. States hold a tremendous amount of public health power. They should use it.
Yes, you are 100% correct. The people commenting here "they're just Trump voters" are not familiar with the area, and have an extremely simplistic understanding of the world. The reason aid is being withheld is because NC elected a Democratic governor.

Can the media STOP referring to Jeffrey Epstein as a “financier”? The money he made came from SEX TRAFFICKING MINORS, RAPING CHILDREN, and BLACKMAIL. He was NOT a financier. I’ve seen at least five stories from three outlets refer to him this way in the past week. This is the latest from the Times:

Like...he literally killed someone and sent another to the hospital. And feels zero guilt. The dude's a sociopath. He should be 1) in jail for stealing whistleblower testimony against his company from the government 2) be taxed into oblivion because his wealth was built on tax payer subsidies.
Imagine having $425 billion. And your reckless, selfish pursuit of selling more cars kills someone. And the court is like, give the parents of this murdered person and the grievously injured other victim .00057 of your wealth. And you, the richest person on earth, are like: no. Suffer in court.
Could Musk be more of a psycho? Like, you didn't "bring a new safety feature to market" -- you knowingly sold a broken car that drives itself into people and kills them! Wtfffff His whole argument for all these crazed behaviors are: I should be able to murder people for profit.
Imagine knowingly rolling out a dangerous feature that kills someone, nearly kills another, and claiming you shouldn't pay damages bc holding you accountable would “invite future juries to punish manufacturers who bring new safety features to market with sweeping and unpredictable tort liability.”!
"The trial focused on an April 2019 crash in Key Largo that struck the victims' parked Chevrolet Tahoe as they were standing beside it. One person was killed, and another was seriously injured." Musk paid Republicans to subsidize him as he puts dangerous vehicles on the roads for profit.
The article'd be stronger with a $ amount. As in, "Trump wants to start an additional war. It will cost $70,000,000,000. That will come out of wildfire response and hurricane recovery funding."

This was an incredibly good thread. Thank you for laying it all out so concisely.
The right has like, a soup worldview. Anything goes in the pot so long as it erodes demand for and trust in government. Believe one part of it, you’ll eventually have to accept the others to stay relevant with the right. Even if it’s contradictory and the sum of the parts doesn’t make sense.
A SOUP WORLDVIEW OMG it's so accurate
And I will also add that these efforts to politicize and undermine the government, public health authorities, and pandemic response were pretty successful. What should have been a catalyst for progressive change ended up serving the re-election of Donald Trump and the rise of anti-science cranks.
The TL;DR here is that the mainstream political right came to embrace anti-vax bullshit because it helped undermine their favorite targets. Groups like Brownstone Institute and Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance acted as bridges to that world of Robert Kennedy Jr. But it was all politics.
While making inroads with new demographics in anyone skeptical of modern medicine and our healthcare system. Which, in this country, is a lot of fucking people. Our healthcare system breeds distrust. Millions don’t have a primary care doctor. Cost is prohibitive. Lack of access is another issue.
With COVID vaccines, didn’t matter that Trump facilitated their production. It just mattered that they could be used to undermine the right’s favorite enemies: - government - Democrats - public health authorities - teachers and schools …and appeal to their natural base: - affluent whites
Taking a step back: The embrace of the unregulated wellness industry and anti-vax hokum was probably inevitable for the right. As the representative of big business interests, it has long had an antagonistic oppositional relationship with science and expertise. Think tobacco and climate science.
See, Biden got to roll out the vaccines and claim that victory. Of course, the vaccines did not end the crisis immediately. They took a long time and Biden dropping nonpharmaceutical interventions meant a lot of people died on his watch. Undermining the vaccines meant undermining Biden and Dems.
Now, on the surface, it doesn’t make sense for the right to oppose the COVID vaccines, right? They presented a way out of the pandemic. They were created through Trump’s Operation Warp Speed. But logic doesn’t apply here. Pure politics do.
This makes me so crazy. You cannot get hurt immunity through mass infection. What you get is rapidly evolving and divergently evolving strains of virus, some of which people will not be immune to yet, some of which will be even more dangerous.
And if you don’t want anything to interfere with business, well, the only thing to do is end the crisis—at least the public’s perception that there is one.
If you’re the side of: - capital interests - wealth as an indicator of virtue/the value of one’s societal contributions - free markets - “The nine most terrifying words in the English language are ‘I’m from the government and I’m here to help’” …you’re fucked. COVID just exposed you entirely.
The COVID-19 pandemic undermined the right in several key ways: 1) It showed us which workers are essential and empowered them. 2) It showed that the markets can’t solve everything. 2) It threatened GOP political prospects in a critical election. 4) Government relief proved popular and effective
