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.

Fascism.

Speech has never been freer! Not performing for the president is now illegal.

I love this guy. Absolutely in love with going to the hospital.

By amplifying this post calling Kilmar Abrego Garcia a “terrorist,” the Trump administration just violated the court order that they reference.

After months of mourning its impending closure, there was a celebration Friday night at San Francisco's Oasis drag cabaret in the wake of a multi-million dollar donation to keep the doors open. abc7news.com/post/multi-m... via ABC7 News App

A quarter-century ago, the teams in the four major North American leagues were worth a collective $30 billion. Now, they’re valued at more than $500 billion—and one has seen appreciation of more than 6,400%. www.forbes.com/sites/brettk... (Photo: Elsa/Getty Images)

NEW EPISODE: Cory Booker and I discuss the real and growing threats to American democracy. He warns that rising costs, collapsing trust in institutions, authoritarian abuses of power, and the politics of cruelty are driving cynicism and disengagement.

Attorneys at the Education Department’s civil rights office describe working in a “dismissal factory.” Most discrimination complaints filed by students’ families have been dismissed without ever being investigated, records show.

The gun lobby, mainly the NRA, is powerful due to its significant political spending, effective media machine, & strategic focus on a single, galvanizing issue (2A rights) that symbolizes freedom for many. NRA has received significant support from Russia over the years. #ProudBlue

The podcaster, who endorsed Trump in the lead-up to the 2024 election, has criticized the president a number of times over the last year.

Over the last 11 months, however, one crisis has been ongoing. I have repeatedly warned that the Republican voter suppression and election-subversion machine continues to grind on. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/the-...

I won’t sugarcoat it: this was an exhausting, cruel, terrible year. On this week’s Coffee Klatch, Heather and I try to make sense of what the country endured in 2025 — and what lessons we can take into 2026.

This message hits hard.

This will *really* get more artists to want to perform at the already scorned and blacklisted Trump Kennedy Center. The petty bitches in the Trump administration are smart that way.

Let’s talk about something not many people are chatting about and what’s actually happening right now. You might wonder why Imran Ahmed and the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) suddenly became targets of the U.S. government. The honest answer is that their research hit where it hurt.

Trump says the Epstein Files are a Democrat hoax, but only Democrats were guilty of crimes with Epstein. He says the DOJ should stop releasing files and everyone should stop talking about it, but also the DOJ should charge Democrats with crimes. This is how you talk when you’re guilty as hell.

Ew just ew... I never post stuff like this, but I've seen this picture blacked out, and while it's available, you should see it too.

In thinking about what you can do this year, keep this in mind: Showing up at protests has real impact!

I love the smell of panic in the evening. Smells like…victory

163 years ago in Mankato, 38 Dakota men were hung in the largest mass execution in our nation’s history. I’m grateful to the riders who continue to remind us the importance of fighting for accountability and healing for the Dakota people. www.mprnews.org/story/2025/1...
