CEO pay is up 1,094% since 1978, while worker pay is up just 26%. Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

We live in a country where the president can order a comedian to be yanked off TV. What I describe is not a democracy.

Kimmel wasn’t fired for his remarks on Kirk—he was fired for using his platform to expose and critique our government. Enough! We especially need large corporations, with the money and influence they have, to fight back. sign.moveon.org/petitions/ki...

🚨BREAKING: Rep. Ro Khanna just motioned to SUBPOENA FCC chairman Brendan Carr in the House Oversight Committee to stop the intimidation of private businesses and assault on free speech

Exactly this

👀

What’s at stake here is free speech. Across the board, we’ve seen the Trump administration use the power of government to go after anybody who’s criticized them — and in this case, Jimmy Kimmel. We need to all stand up and speak out.

Proof that #America & the #USConstitution are under attack in broad daylight. This regime takes aim at #FreeSpeech & other freedoms under our #FirstAmendment. #WethePeople must speak loudly & reject this brazenly fascist move. #ResistFascism #NoKingsinAmerica

If you have 30 minutes, I recommend watching this video. I explain what Trump has in store for 2026 and how we can fight back. If you find it helpful, please share it with others. youtu.be/7PXQfDHr9Aw

The real issue isn’t left vs right. It’s not white vs black. It’s not citizen vs immigrant. It’s not gay vs straight. The real issue is that a lot of powerful people have a vested interest — and a lot of money invested — in dividing us, and it’s working.

I hope Charlie Kirk recovers quickly then, like James Brady, uses his megaphone to help advocate for common sense limits on firearms.

This 100%.

31 lasers for the 31st state. Happy birthday, California.

Chaired law professor at NYU its.law.nyu.edu/facultyprofi... When people who've devoted their careers to the law start talking like this...

The Onion News Network truck is currently stationed outside the Broadview ICE Detention facility just outside of Chicago.

The streets of Chicago are full with tens of thousands of people standing up to ICE and Trump. Join us.

California, Oregon and Washington announced yesterday they’ve created their own health alliance, saying the CDC has become “a political tool that increasingly peddles ideology instead of science.” New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Delaware, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island have now done the same.

BREAKING: After meeting with Epstein’s victims, Oversight Democrats are escalating our push to find out why Ghislaine Maxwell was transferred to a minimum security prison. The Department of Justice must launch an independent investigation.

That Pritzker press conference was... surreal, and I think marks a significant moment of escalation in the constitutional omni-crisis. This was the governor of a state saying plainly the Union itself is being torn apart and his state is being militarily invaded by an authoritarian regime.

ICE is on track to gain access to controversial spyware designed to hack phones and read private messages after the Trump administration jettisoned a Biden-era order.

Well-deserved snark. 😆

Happy Labor Day!

Over 300 MILLION American citizen's files stolen by DOGE. Why can't 1 person with access steal the EPSTEIN Files? #LEAKtheEPSTEIN_Files

There needs to be some #accountability with SCOTUS.

Reposting something from yesterday.

This interview, which is also available to listen to as a podcast, provides a useful overview of some of the dangerous trends we’ve been seeing in recent months regarding federalization and militarization of state and local police functions.

Reuters repeating a falsehood here. Most of this money was already granted to intel under the chips act passed by Biden. The rest under other pre-Trump programs

Fair notice to #kidlit - next Thursday is a KidLitArtPostcard day! September is typically a very active month for posting and browsing. Spread the word so we get a good turnout from illustrators, editors, art directors, and agents! www.ginaperry.com/postcard

If you you see this post your cat. #KidlitArt My cat 3x as shown in this collage of a city library visit I did back in May: On the easel after drawing on the fly w/ suggestions from attendees, a close-up of that drawing and full-color version I sent to the library in thanks for the gig.

Thank you to Capt. Blaha for this very important message. ✊🏽✨❤️🤍💙 #watch #share

When we fight back & stick together against the cheaters and bullies, we win. #wethepeople

Hey, if this becomes a thing, then so will this new homophone: tailgaiting. 🤓😆 #ilovewords #justsaying

BREAKING: The California Assembly has passed a bill to put Governor Gavin Newsom’s redistricting plan on the November 4 ballot.

Here, fixed it.

I just signed the Election Rigging Response Act to put Proposition 50 up for a vote on November 4th. The people of California will have the power to push back against Texas and any other state that obeys Donald Trump's demand to rig the next election.

I like presidents who know Slavery is bad, not "WOKE."

They’ve tried to erase us for centuries. Didn’t work then, won’t work now. Black history IS American history.

Dear Smithsonian.......send your historical records to Canada before they're destroyed.
