Increase in productivity since 1979: 87% Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32% Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%. As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

The rich and powerful don’t get their wages garnished when they default on a loan. They declare bankruptcy and end up paying pennies on the dollar, if anything. Like Trump did many, many times.

I don’t need any letters to tell me what we’ve all known for decades, the orange felon is evil, a rapist and a criminal and he surrounds himself with subhuman beings just like himself. He should be in prison, not in the White House.

Following CBS/60 Minutes banning an episode that investigated the orange felon’s criminal actions, Canadians have leaked that episode in direct defiance of CBS and their fascist censorship. I love Canada. 💙🇨🇦

it must have felt so good to be the digital media manager when the word came down to unschedule the piece from the 60 minutes feed but no one said anything about unscheduling it from the international website

Dems have a bad habit of snatching defeat out of the jaws of victory. The House majority is within reach, but they STILL cede ground to Trump by not doing daily fact-checking press briefings from the Capitol. By not using ALL of their power (yes, they still do have some)

“Coverups are difficult in free societies. They are routine for authoritarian governments. The Epstein coverup will be an indicator of how far we are down the road to authoritarianism. The success of such a coverup would take us much further down that road.” www.thebulwark.com/p/why-the-ep...

(🚨) TONIGHT: THE TRUMP-EPSTEIN MUSIC FESTIVAL As tomorrow is a national holiday—Trump-Epstein Day, when Trump drops heavily doctored files aiming to hide his pedophilia—tonight this feed and Hounds will celebrate, at 5PM ET, with a thread of Trump-Epstein songs... and more. Please spread the word!

I don’t think I’m being alarmist. If anything, I worry that we’ve become so inured to Trump’s madness that we’re not alarmist enough. Trump must be removed from office as soon as possible. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-real-threat-of-trumps-madness

When I seek parenting advice, I always turn to people like Megyn Kelly, who think its OK for old men to grope 15-year-old girls.

Nothing says America First like jeopardizing national security so we can deport more cooks and landscapers

I would also add that Trump has pulled lots and lots of federal agents normally tasked with investigating serious crimes off those duties to do immigration enforcement with ICE. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Release the boat videos. Release the Epstein files. Release the ICE and Border Patrol body-cam footage. Justice Brandeis: "Sunlight is the best disinfectant." And there's so much the Trump administration's doing that needs disinfecting.

Guarantee that someone from the Biden or Obama administration’s could release the whole GD thing right now….SOMEBODY had to make copies. C’mon America, we need a HERO, STAT!

It’s theater at this point, to keep the issue alive in the public square. The full story - who, what, when, why - requires everything from flights logs, financial transactions and eyewitness accounts… The DOJ has it. They will keep it buried. It must be reconstructed and told to the public.

Bill Gates has become the world’s leading global health philanthropist, but his overture to Jeffrey Epstein continues to haunt him.

Bonkers to the nth power

There’s no money to make healthcare free or more affordable, but there’s money to give $40B to Argentina, $350M for a trashy ballroom, $172M on private jets, millions of dollars for golf trips and lavish dinners and $12B to pay back “farmers” (creditors). Funny how that works.

I don’t write the headlines but I do like this one (post-Slaughter argument roundtable for @nytimes.com with @stevevladeck.bsky.social & @williambaude.bsky.social) www.nytimes.com/2025/12/09/o...

If the Sep. 2 boat really had "narco-terrorists" on board, questioning the survivors would have been a way to learn about how the organization worked, where more drugs were stashed, etc. But this isn't a counter-terrorism campaign. It's a shooting gallery with helpless targets.

“Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. But teach a man how to fish and Pete Hegseth will murder him.”

The boat wasn’t headed to the U.S., which we would have learned with a little due process instead of murder. www.cnn.com/2025/12/05/p...

Good morning to everyone who didn’t extort a corrupt sporting body into creating a fake medal for them because they’re still in their fee-fees about getting repeatedly spurned by the Nobel Peace Prize committee.

According to a new study, members of Congressional leadership perform 47% better in stock market trades than their rank-and-file peers, thanks to access to nonpublic information. Today would be a great day to ban ALL elected officials from trading stock, don't you think?

New in PN: A war criminal without a war "We’re watching the flimsy justifications fall apart in real time. They can try to shift the blame. They can try to say that people clinging to wreckage for dear life are somehow an active threat. But in the end, it’s just murder."

BERMAN: Did you see any evidence of them trying to use a radio in the video you saw? TOM COTTON: Well I saw lots of evidence of them standing on the boat that had been capsized BERMAN: That wasn't my question. Did you see any evidence? COTTON: No, I didn't

Reposting this everyday until Pete Hagueseth faces justice for his crimes against humanity.

Hakeem Jeffries will never lead the Dems where they need to go in order to help the people. He will choose restoration over reform because he has been groomed by the Establishment. I wish people could finally accept this.

The boats the regime is claiming are going from Venezuela to the US would need to refuel over 20 times to get to Miami. They are lying to us.

Legal analyst Andrew Napolitano, Pete Hegseth’s former Fox News colleague, says it gives him “no pleasure to say” that the defense secretary must be prosecuted for war crimes.

He’s gesturing to a sleeping man as he says “He’s the only leader in the world who can help end [the war in Ukraine].”

Where's the 24-7 coverage on Trump's declining health, inability to stay awake DURING TELEVISED events, cankles, two MRIs, and lack of stamina? Where's Jake Tapper? NYT? Fox? Corporate Media?

So am I.

Brazil’s former Dictator Bolsonaro will begin serving his 27 year prison sentence for plotting a coup in his country. If only Merrick Garland had gotten the job done when we had the chance and sent the orange felon and his insurrectionists to jail where they belong. Scumbag.

25th Amendment now.

Trump dozes while Marco Rubio speaks to him directly next to him. Just insane optics.

RFK Jr: "Two weeks ago we ended, under your leadership, a twenty year war on women". Three out of five men in this shot have been accused of sexual misconduct, harassment or abusive behaviour towards women. A fourth signed into law a near-total abortion ban in his state as governor.

New interview! On Trump corruption in Central America and the Middle East and more www.youtube.com/watch?v=jymh...

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration. But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants. The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

One of the four elements of malignant narcissism is sadism.
