Corporate consolidation raises prices, lowers wages, reduces choices, and slows innovation.

Neoliberalism can't handle this because they have no theory of power. To them, this is all just the market sorting it out.

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

For years, CEOs have sold a story that a $15 minimum wage would kill jobs.

The Washington establishment bought this trickle-down lie, and workers paid the price.

But the evidence debunks that myth.

It's long past time to raise the minimum wage.

[Pitchfork Economics @PitchforkEcon]

Our current economic paradigm functions as a protection racket for the rich. To solve our economic problems, we must replace it.

If we fail to do so, the rich will continue to get richer and everyone else will get poorer.

[Tom Perriello @tomperriello]

Time to give Americans a damn raise! Studies prove that higher wages produce faster job growth. Despite rhetoric false gospel preached by the corporate lobbyists, 40+ regions that substantially increased the minimum-wage had faster job growth than areas that kept wages low.

Markets aren’t natural forces. They’re human-built systems.

So this week, we’re sharing @NickHanauer and @EricBeinhocker’s conversation with @monthly about Market Humanism, and how we can build an economy wired for human flourishing. ⬇️

I often get paranoid and frustrated by the fact that we are constantly under surveillance even though we may not realize it, but it’s moments like this when I’m thankful that this is the case because then we can push back when cops, or ICE cosplaying as cops, feed us bullshit.

Neighbors just released a new angle of the ICE shooting and it settles any debate on what actually happened.

This was a mother doing something completely ordinary: Dropping somebody off, then trying to leave. She goes to pull out, stops for one car to pass, then waves the agents to drive past. Within seconds, those ICE agents exit their vehicle and rush her, shouting and escalating the situation. Panicked, she tries to drive away and gets shot in the face three times.

She posed no threat, showed no intent to harm, and was interfering with no one. She was a civilian going about her life. The official statements that followed contradict the footage and read like an attempt to rewrite what happened.

This was a reckless, unjustified killing, followed by a dishonest effort to evade responsibility. It’s horrifying, and it exposes something deeply wrong with the US government and these ICE agents. They must be held accountable.

This is not a partisan issue. I need you to lock in gang.

[John Harwood @JohnJHarwood]

that's not the reality you disgusting, soulless liar

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

You may be blind but the rest of us can see that didn’t happen.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

The only real harassment you see in that video is where the officer calls the woman he just murdered a "fucking bitch", on his own recording, right after he murdered her.

And the Trump administration thought this was a clip in their favor?? That the VP should promote? Sheesh.

Spire’s ex-CEO: fired ➜ $2.4M severance.
Workers: laid off ➜ unemployment line.

You get fired, you lose your paycheck.
Unless you’re a CEO — then you get a million-dollar consolation prize.

Same economy. Very different rules.

[Cori Bush @CoriBush]

St. Louis needs and deserves a leader who understands that ICE must be abolished to keep our communities safe.

Voting to praise the agency, and being unable to explain why, is completely unacceptable.

We need leadership who is unafraid to vote to impeach Trump and abolish ICE NOW.

[Matt McDermott @mattmfm]

These people are simply irredeemable and need to be ostracized from civil society.

[Freddy Doss, Pre-PhD (He/Him)🌈 @FredrickDoss]

@mattmfm @Tom_Wright12 Calling then deplorable was being polite.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

From Gaza City to Minneapolis, this resonates. Andor. The best.

@MJTruthUltra Video or it didn’t happen. We know this motherfucker is a habitual liar.
