Maybe you live in an immoral country if its priority is killing people abroad instead of keeping people at home alive.

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.

The top 1% evade $163B in taxes each year

Employers steal $50B from workers each year

Insurance companies defrauded Medicare for at least $50B

Trump joked he’s giving himself a $1B settlement

Only caring about fraud when it’s immigrants means it’s not the fraud you care about

They keep saying that the only way to improve the economy is to give the wealthy and corporations tax breaks.

So we've been doing just that for forty years.

And the only ones doing well in this economy are the wealthy and corporations.

Can't you see we've been scammed?

"In the worst cases, the infected would die from liver cancer before reaching adulthood. Brian McMahon, a physician who treated some of those cases, told me about one particular patient—'18 years old, 4.0 GPA, with a full ride to University of Alaska.'"

According to the Federal Reserve, the richest 1% of Americans are now worth $52 TRILLION.

And most of us can't afford gas, groceries, rent, or healthcare.

“Trickle-down economics” is the greatest trick the wealthy and powerful have ever pulled.

Ok, those 8 senators suck. But trying to see the silver lining, won't Speaker Johnson now have to swear in Grijalva and then there will be a vote on the Epstein files?

Let’s Not Forget Who Charlie Kirk Really Was The right-wing influencer did not deserve to die, and we shouldn’t forget the many despicable things he said and did.

We can be morally outraged by an assassination and at the same time acknowledge that Charlie Kirk’s racism and misogyny were immoral. Whitewashing his behavior and beliefs betrays the collective by masking how we got to this place in America.

UPDATE: @SenatorHagerty and the Republicans just voted to let Trump take the Qatari jet with him when he leaves office.

Insane corruption. There is no bottom.
