Americans’ wages are no longer outpacing inflation. Prices are now rising at an annual rate of 3.8%, the highest rate since May 2023. That means inflation is now outpacing wage increases.

How have we sat through any of the last 2 years?! It’s truly mind boggling.

"In situations where his power could have made a difference, he often demurred — or picked the wrong side." I wrote this about Xavier Becerra in 2020. He was a weak attorney general who protected dirty cops and threatened to prosecute journalists. That's the reality, not fake influencer hype.

I miss the days when American politics were just corrupt instead of in-your-face-who-cares-what-you-think-one-family-will-profit-no-matter-what-danger-the-rest-of-us-are-placed-in corrupt.

AOC represents EVERY WOMAN in America right now who is sick and tired of misogyny & misinformation. She represents us and the rage we feel.

This is a well-documented pattern in medical research and reflects systemic gender bias in pain assessment and treatment.👇

Tell me if I’m wrong but if people can go to prison for lying to Congress, then shouldn’t members of Congress go to prison for lying to the people?

Trump has pushed unfounded claims of Tylenol use in pregnancy being tied to ‘a very increased risk of autism’

Exactly 💯

visits the pope → pope dies leads Iran negotiations → talks collapse flies to Hungary to prop up Orbán → Orbán loses in a landslide Man’s got a streak.

Lying from the White House Podium is now a family tradition.

Apple is closing down the first of its US stores to unionize. Apple says that because of the collective bargaining agreement with these workers, they "couldn’t offer to transfer them to nearby locations.” The union is outraged, and exploring options to hold Apple accountable.

Oracle just hired a new CFO who will get a total pay package that could reach nearly $30 million. This comes immediately after Larry Ellison's company fired 30,000 workers.

So pro-life means jailing women who miscarry but shrugging when the deranged president says “a whole civilization will die tonight.” Do I have that right?

Sickeningly evil. Donald Trump must be impeached.  When will it be enough for my Republican colleagues to grow spines and remove him from office?

Mamdani is not just filling the potholes with the crew. He's creating a visual and personal reminder of the dignity inherent in all of these anonymous government jobs.

Did ya all know that every authoritarian dictator has to purge his military leadership to remove those who refuse his unlawful orders? It’s kind of a thing.

Just to be clear, Donald Trump does not care if a bunch of journalists wear pocket squares with the First Amendment written on them as a “protest.” First of all, the man is functionally illiterate

DHS repeatedly said that an aggressive apartment raid in Chicago last fall was prompted by intel on a gang takeover. Documents show the real story behind the raid was to target alleged squatters — with the landlord's blessing. (Published Feb.)

I wonder how all the “I don’t do politics” people are doing now that politics is doing us all

Jeff Bezos has $222 billion. If he paid my wealth tax this year, we could fund insulin in America for everyone who needs it plus free school lunch for every kid in Texas—and have plenty of money left over. And Bezos would still have $215 billion dollars to spare.

H*es know! Please - spicy workers! Drop your client list! Spill the tea! Stop protecting these corrupt politicians. We need you in this fight. Who is the DL top bending Lindsay Graham over Disney World hotel chaise lounges? Who’s buying your panties? Who buys your farts? Who are you p*ssing on? #fdt

At this stage, probably worth a try... #illegalwar #presidentmoron

Every day this question just gets louder in my brain.

So gross

This 💯

It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist. He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.

Just a random reminder that over 50 members of Congress collectively own millions of dollars in defense contractor stocks. They stand to personally profit from wars that enrich these contractors. Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption. Watch how they vote this week.

Uh no...we definitely realize it.

Weird they dragged in Hillary Clinton when there's another First Lady right there in the White House who actually knew Jeffrey Epstein.

Not always a huge fan of Reich but this is stark.

It’s time to make Citizens United history. Montana — and now California — can lead the way. Here's how. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/how-california-can-neuter-citizens

News you can use, from the @wired.com security team (who are the best in the biz). They asked technologists, activists, aid groups, and cybersecurity experts for guidance on how to organize and collaborate in an age of surveillance. Here’s the result:

During the first year of Trump’s term in office, the U.S. manufacturing industry lost 108,000 jobs.

Anyone notice how quiet Gavin Newsom has been about the Epstein files? Remarkably so for someone who loves to taunt Trumpy from Twitter….

THEY ARRESTED A PRINCE! CONGRESS DO YOUR FUCKING JOOOOBS SINCE CLEARLY GOOD OL’ PAMMY JO AIN’T GONNA DO SHIT!

No shit, fed and state governments rely so hard on Microsoft so they don’t have to hire their own internal IT staff…

The scale is unreal.

🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻 NO NOTES!

Bianca Sonnenberg’s uniform has become her security blanket. Before ICE arrived in Minneapolis, she would change when she finished her route. Recently, she’s hoped her identity as a US Postal Service worker would protect her from getting targeted by ICE operations.

“If the SAVE Act were to pass, it would be the worst voter suppression law that Congress has ever enacted."

Tell me again how there are no private prisons in California. Oh and how Gavin Newsom stood up and fought against this detention center. Go ahead, I’ll wait.

Fuck you, you insincere, flip flopping trust fund asshole.

People outside of California you love Camille Zapata, not Gavin Newsom. She’s the one who writes his social media. The man himself is a weak, greasy, entitled lifetime politician who has never bothered to take care of his people.
