For 50 years, the median wage of hourly workers stagnated or declined while the stock market and CEO pay skyrocketed. Is it any wonder so many feel abandoned by the system? People lose faith, and a demagogue fills the void. This is why we must fix the system.

More grift. Trump's AI "Czar" — the guy in charge of this Administration's AI policy — is reported to have hundreds of investments in AI-related ventures. This is just the latest example of the Trump Administration using its power to benefit themselves and their inner-sanctum of billionaires.

Spotify has laid off thousands in recent years, while reportedly paying artists $0.003 per stream. Spotify profits rose 28% in Q3. Its CEO is worth $9.8 billion. It's making money off ICE recruitment ads. Don't you think it's time put a wrap on corporate greed and exploitation?

The bottom 90% lost a collective $79 trillion in wages over the past 50 years. Why? Because the top 1% ate up an increasingly larger share of the national income — so that $79 trillion flowed to them instead of the working class. The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.

96% of the highest-paid workers in the US have paid sick days. Just 38% of the lowest-paid workers get them — including the thousands of retail workers working this holiday weekend. Only in America do we call working people ‘essential’ but deny them paid sick leave.

ICYMI: Minnesota just ranked as one of the safest states in the nation. Making Minnesota the best place to live starts with safety. That’s why I signed the largest public safety bill in state history, and why I’m glad to see that work paying off today. www.kare11.com/article/news...

Energy transitions can happen faster than we think: In 2000 almost 90% of Denmark's electricity was from fossil fuels. In 2024 less than 10% of Danish electricity was from fossil fuels.

…and yes, I was part of the Epstein crowd.🔻

Fentanyl. Drug Overdoses, including Fentanyl, are not even in the top 20 causes of death in the USA. Cancer, Diabetes, Covid, Heart Disease all in the top 10, and all have had their research funding cut. They aren't murdering just Venezuelans. However they are killing us much slower.

Mark Kelly: “Pete Hegseth is not a serious person. He’s unqualified for this job. I think he is the least qualified Secretary of Defense in the history of our country by far. & this President thinks he can bully & intimidate people? He’s not gonna stop me from speaking out & holding him accountable”

Millions of workers are toiling away from their families this holiday weekend. So thank the workers who serve you. Appreciate the workers who care for you. Respect the workers who pick up your trash. Salute the workers who get you your mail. Pay all workers a living wage.

Reporter: Governor Walz called for the release of your MRI results Trump: They were perfect like my phone call where I got impeached. Reporter: Can you tell us what they were looking at? Trump: I have no idea. It was just an MRI. It wasn’t the brain because I took a cognitive test and aced it.

BREAKING: We won! 3rd Circuit affirms illegality of Habba appointment We @democracydefendersfund.org are honored to work on this case with the wonderful folks at Lowell & Associates, Gerald Krovatin & many others 👇

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants. Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this. Do not.

Around 70% of the U.S. economy depends on consumer spending. As wealth concentrates in the richest 10%, the rest of America can’t afford to buy enough to keep the economy running. This is a huge problem — and even America’s most powerful CEOs are starting to sound the alarm.

This was President Trump this afternoon at Mar-a-Lago.

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

ICE claims they’re protecting our safety. But what’s safe about neighborhoods filled with fear? What’s safe about being harassed or grabbed off the street? They don’t want to protect our communities. They want to control them.

Putin is letting his soldiers HUNT Ukrainians in Kherson with drones — a genocidal human safari. Meanwhile, Trump wants to give Russia control of Kherson, so that they can finish the job. His administration supports genocide, from Gaza to Ukraine to Sudan to immigrants & trans people in the US

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game. The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

Marco Rubio knew the truth 9 years ago, but he sold his soul for power. Yet he was correct: He will one day have to explain his support for Trump, and this is not going to end well.

ICE is using Uber stickers in order to disguise themselves and kidnap people. Spread this for awareness!

Oh my. When you've lost the Babylon Bee …

The climate crisis won’t wait and neither will we. With this team, we’ll meet it head-on.

Looks like we’re going to war. I didn’t vote for this, did you?

Trump, with no authority to do so, demands the airspace “above and surrounding” Venezuela be closed as he threatens to bomb and invade the country.

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.

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.

We may be getting the Epstein Files in December, but they’re still hiding the Jobs Report, the Inflation Report, and the GDP Report.

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.

In a dramatic legal turn, a federal court in the Eastern District of Virginia dismissed the indictment against former FBI Director James Comey. 👉 Because the statute of limitations in Comey’s case has expired, this prevents any future charging.

The EPA will approve two new pesticides containing “forever chemicals” and relax a reporting rule for companies who make products with forever chemicals. The moves come after a $60 million lobbying blitz from the forever chemical industry. Where is the MAHA outcry?

The Washington Post writes that Trump did not delve into the details of his administration’s "peace plan" for Ukraine. White House departments don’t know what is going on. www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/1...

Tyson is closing a Nebraska plant that employs 3,200 workers in order to “right-size” its business. The meatpacking giant paid its CEO $22.7M last year, 525x its median employee's pay. It also spent $196M in stock buybacks to reward shareholders. Textbook corporate greed.

So, musk says AI will make work "optional" and money "irrelevant". If he really believes money will be "irrelevant", then why does he need so much?

„Quiet, Piggy!“ Just think about that for a minute, and what it means to live in a time when a President can assault a woman in public like that without any consequences. It‘s quite a testimony to the age of regression we live in.

Trump has a Crush

Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.

Kavanaugh stop. Smashed the kid’s car windows and arrested him. He told them he was a U.S. citizen. The officer replied “I don’t care.” www.oregonlive.com/portland/202...

Abigail Adams, wife/close advisor of US President John Adams & #womensrights advocate, was born #OTD in 1744. This quote, from a 1776 letter to John, is one of the earliest recorded calls in American #history for women’s legal & political equality--written right when the country was being born.

A lot of the people lamenting Marjorie Taylor Greene’s departure from Congress—and celebrating her as some kind of principled maverick—are going to end up eating their words when she reemerges in 2028 to help lead a pro-groper, pro-Fuentes “America First” faction of the GOP.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952
