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.

Horrific mass shooting at Brown. Thinking of the victims and their families. We simply do not have to live this way. The failure to pass gun safety legislation is a moral stain & innocent Americans pay the price time and again.

This is the choice that those with power have made— This is the life they want for our children and us. It will continue until we change who is in power or how power functions here.

We must approach each day with these questions: What can we do to protect free and fair elections? How can we counter what the GOP is doing? How can we advance the voting rights of every eligible citizen and ensure their ballots are accurately counted and elections properly certified?

Yesterday, Spc Sarah Becstrom was laid to rest in West Virginia at a VA National Cemetery. Surprisingly none of the major major news media mention it. No flags were lower to half staff. Well the Convicted FElon keeps the news focus on him. www.wvva.com/2025/12/10/s...

I couldn’t leave Chicago without getting a cut from my old barber, Zariff!

Have you ever seen the twilight zone episode called “the good life”? The boy in it who has everyone terrorized is so exactly like Trump.  No one does anything to stop him for fear of being wished to the cornfield.

🚨BREAKING: On behalf of Common Power, my law firm has filed to intervene against DOJ’s lawsuit seeking to compel Washington to provide its complete voter registration lists. We are now defending voters in 10 states against DOJ scheme to access voter records. www.democracydocket.com/cases/washin...

www.dailykos.com/stories/2025... How ironic that immigration crackdowns have led to fewer immigrants going to work. It's now keeping women from going to work because of a lack of reliable childcare. But I doubt trumpers will care about that-they want to keep women at home and impoverished.

www.dailykos.com/stories/2025... Robert Reich is really the one who tells it like it is!

Yes. We must extend the ACA tax credits so that over 20 million Americans don't see a doubling in their health premiums, on average. But we must do more. We cannot remain the only major country not to guarantee health care for all as a human right. We must pass Medicare for All.

How to buy yourself a needy malignant narcissist? Just offer him a phony, made up "Peace Prize" & he's all your's!!! No need for a formal ceremony as he'll snatch from the box & put it on all by himself. Both laughably pathetic AND pathetically laughable. 🤡 🫣

“And then they made him a fake trophy because he kept whining and moaning and wouldn’t STFU.”

Why are the richest people the biggest heartless dicks to the people in desperate circumstances? You will have to face your creator someday who clearly said “what you do to the least of these you do to me” I used to like Phil. Saudi sellout

I hope people take two minutes to listen to this shocking display of bigotry. It brings clarity to what we are fighting against. We should all be sick to hear such un-American drivel from the President of the United States.

So Dems are the guardians of freedom and privacy...huh.

There is virtually no fed criminal law for wealthy people in America right now. Doesn’t exist. Trump’s DOJ either drops their charges or he pardons them. Anyone can buy their way out of prison for the right price on any charge, with crime victims left shattered with no justice.

Any one of us could be in the next apartment building that ICE raids in the middle of the night. Any one of us could be on the next boat that Trump bombs on a whim. Any one of us could be detained for hours despite being a U.S. citizen. Authoritarianism hurts all of us.

Wow

Whether it’s last week’s Guardsmen shooting or yesterday’s mass shooting in Stockton, there’s too much damn gun violence in this country. While I'm praying for the victims and their loved ones, this is not enough. The US is the only advanced country to have this level of gun violence. Enough.

Grady Judd was appointed by Trump to a federal council meant to help exploited kids. But in Judd’s own department back home, a child victim was made out to be a liar, leaving her abuser free to assault her again.

We now have an unprecedented level of income & wealth inequality. It isn’t acceptable that the top 1% owns more wealth than the bottom 93%, while a majority of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. We must stand together & create an economy that works for all, not just the few.

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps. McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay. Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay. See the problem?

If Democrats want to regain working people, they must disavow Big Money. They must hammer economic populism — and have a laser focus on the cost of living crisis in America. There’s no way the party can speak for or represent the working class in America if it's beholden to corporate interests.

The president is a political cartoon of corruption come to life, a gaudy grifter who is selling off pardons and lining his pockets, building a golden ballroom and protecting his fellow sex predator elites, all the while regular Americans are suffering and struggling to make ends meet. Run on *that*

What do these corporations have in common? Netflix Ford Tesla T-Mobile Duke Energy DISH Network Metlife Dominion Energy United States Steel In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes. This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

Sounds like she's got it all figured out, why is she even in college?

Marc, you are awesome!

Black Friday is when the media whips people into a frenzy, then does stories where they scold these horrible frenzied people.

I've never shopped on black Friday. I'm not getting up at the crack of dawn to go fight with people in a store. Fuck that.

No one will stop me from defending our freedoms.

Your Black Friday reminder that Amazon... -Provides cloud services that help fuel ICE's deportation machine -Donated $1 million to Trump's inauguration fund -Scrapped plans to display tariff costs after pressure from Trump -Shelled out $40M for a documentary about Melania Trump

FYI: the “disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan” was negotiated and begun by…. Donald Trump

Remember: The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class. You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense.

If Democrats ever want to take America back from Trump and his cronies, here are eight things they must do. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uzc5...

How we beat back the corporate takeover of America: 1. Break up corporate monopolies 2. Continue building union power 3. End Citizens United and get big money out of politics Let’s keep working to unrig the system.

A powerful, peaceful visibility march took place on Brookside recently, led by a small but mighty group committed to defending democracy. Thank you to the Indivisible Tulsa for showing up and engaging with the community. More visibility events are on the way!

Baby otter doing baby otter stuff

You cannot have a functioning economy when so few people at the top hold so much of the nation’s wealth. It’s not sustainable.

Go to a hospital without nurses… see how quickly you are seen and discharged! 🤬

Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics. Strengthening unions and fighting for higher wages. Medicare for all, paid family leave, universal childcare... This is the progressive populist agenda we need in America.

This is how our government has been corrupted: 1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office 2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor 3) Donors make huge profit 4) Repeat We must get big money out of politics. It is the root of our dysfunction.

I hope folks realize that between Trump, Kushner, Hegseth, Witkoff, Noem, RFK, Jr., Kash Patel, and Tulsi Gabbard, this country is almost entirely undefended.

As a survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, Viola Ford Fletcher bravely shared her story so that we’d never forget this painful part of our history. Michelle and I are grateful for her lifelong work to advance civil rights, and send our love to her family.

No matter what you eat for the holidays, please never: - comment on how much someone is eating - comment on how little someone is eating - comment on someone eating This can be a major trigger for people with eating disorders. Plus it’s none of your business. Thanks!

Viola Ford Fletcher, one of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre's last survivors, dies at 111

Targeting Kelly is one of those “this is why we’ll win” moments, bc it shows how politically impetuous this admin is. There’s clearly no adult in the room to say “wait, maybe don’t go after the charismatic war hero turned literal astronaut who ran after his wife was a victim of political violence.”

Meiselas: This guy's a con artist. He's a fraud. He's quite literally a criminal. A felon. He lies. He destroys people's lives. He's a rug puller. 'Look, $23 trillion! Dividend checks are right around the corner! I'm gonna make you so rich!' It is demented and it is manipulative and it is abusive.
