Corporate profits have soared while workers earnings have not kept pace with inflation or record profits.
It's time we close the gap and build a tax system that is more fair to support workers and ensure all Californians are able to make ends meet. #WorkersDay
When the mask comes off it becomes clear that yimby bros don’t care if neighborhoods like Chinatown become covered in luxury condo towers and Starbucks and lux gyms. It’ll bring down rent they say, lying through their snark.
Young People: We can't afford healthcare
Dems: How about we ban your favorite app?
YP: We can't afford school
Dems: How about a genocide?
YP: We're terrified of climate chaos
Dems: How about we amp up oil production?

We need to reform unions throughout our country to make sure the union boards aren't full of corrupt right-wingers.
UAW fixed their election process and are now the strongest union in the country.
.@ShawnFainUAW addressed the U.S. Senate HELP Committee yesterday on the need for a 32-hour work week with no loss in pay.
"I agree there is an epidemic in this country of people who don’t want to work. But those aren��t the blue-collar people. Those aren’t the working-class people. The people I’m talking about are the Wall Street freeloaders, the masters of passive income."
Clarence Thomas changed his position on a major legal doctrine after his wife accepted payments from a conservative network pushing the change.
Thomas’ shift also came while he got gifts from a billionaire linked to groups criticizing the doctrine. https://t.co/HEtguVlWba
UAW president Shawn Fain, testifying on 32-hour workweek legislation introduced by Bernie Sanders: “Time, just like every precious resource in our society, is not freely given to the working class.”

When you cut taxes on the rich, the rich get richer and the gains don’t trickle down.
When you invest in the American people, the middle class expands and the economy grows.
It’s that simple.
Wrong four times. Biden never cancelled the debt. He announced a policy and dragged his feet in administering it (50 days) which gave time for Republicans to halt the process. There was nothing to “uncancel.” And they aren’t “workarounds” they’re just tweaks to existing programs.
These numbers are mind boggling.
Over TWO MILLION DOLLARS have been spent on San Francisco’s DCCC race — $1.5 million of which was spent on the moderate slate.
What does Western "liberalism" have left? After demonstrating pure contempt for international law, human rights, and democratic consensus... what actually is left?
Aaron Bushnell’s last Facebook post hit me deep in my soul.
"Many of us like to ask ourselves, 'What would I do if I was alive during slavery? Or the Jim Crow South? Or apartheid? What would I do if my country was committing genocide?' The answer is, you're doing it. Right now."
Debt is a form of social control. The reason some people hate free college is because they hate freedom. They want people to have no choice and submit to control.
Eliminating or scaling back ineffective or inequitable tax breaks would provide additional revenue to support Californians struggling with the basic costs of living while also increasing tax fairness. #CABudget
While Wendy’s plans to price gouge you with Uber-style surge pricing, it’s simultaneously enriching wealthy shareholders with a $500 million stock buyback program.
That’s the thing about corporate greed: It’s shameless.
They’ll just keep pushing to see how far they can go.
The Democratic Party will nominate Joe Biden because the corporations and billionaires that control the nomination don't care if Trump is President. They're perfectly happy with either of two white nationalists being President. Trump and Biden, to them, are exactly the same.
