What is your best estimation of the year this photograph was taken?

[Gail Tessier Brown @gtessbrown]

Shameful!

Breaking news: A federal judge took the final step in allowing the Trump administration to terminate temporary protected status for 350,000 Haitians, meaning many are likely to lose their jobs and be at risk of deportation. https://t.co/tBmXWXWcBV

@Sinfulskin2 Yes

If this year taught us anything, it's that:

1) Workers keep America going, not billionaires.
2) Corporate profits don't trickle down to workers.
3) Poverty is a policy choice.
4) Health care is a human right.
5) Strikes work.

I hope we act on these lessons in the new year.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

My New Year’s resolution is to reclaim power from the billionaires and put it back where it belongs: with the workers. Who’s with me?

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

There is no labor shortage. There is a living wage shortage, a hazard pay shortage, a child care shortage, a paid sick leave shortage, and a health care shortage.

Does a new year mean we can settle this debate and finally treat workers with dignity?

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

This Christmas the real Scrooges are corporate executives who raked in record profits this year but deny workers a living wage and benefits.

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

Lifting children out of poverty is one of the best investments we can make as a nation. I’m staying in this fight all the way to renew the expanded Child Tax Credit.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Trickle-down economics has been an abject failure over the past 20 years. It’s time to invest in workers. Now.

Folks, if you are an American citizen, DO NOT go to Russia, right now. Just don’t.
Putin is a ruthless man, capable of anything.

Also, WNBA needs pay equity so US athletes don’t have to go play in God-forsaken countries with no rule of law.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Corporate profits hit a record high of $2.1 trillion last quarter.

Folks, corporate greed is driving inflation, not workers asking for better wages.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Is there a better definition of corporate greed than a Warren Buffett-owned railway refusing to provide workers with sick leave despite the company reporting a net income of nearly $6 billion?

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Corporations that regard employees only as costs to be cut rather than as assets to be nourished are making a huge mistake.

Exhibit A: Elon Musk.

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

We're seeing initial signs that inflation is coming down.

This week we saw that the increase in prices businesses pay for goods and services moderated. Gas prices are down. And prices for things like clothes and TVs are going down.

That's good news as we head into the holidays.

If Elon Musk can afford to pay $44 BILLION to destroy Twitter, he can afford to pay his fair share of taxes.

@DrRHoneyman So sorry. We lost my sister-in-law. 😔😔😔

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

The next time you hear conservatives blame Democrats for inflation being at a 40-year high, politely remind them that corporate profits are at a 70-year high.

[Gail Tessier Brown @gtessbrown]

@OccupyDemocrats @elonmusk @TribelSocial No

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Why do corporations keep raising prices? Because they can.

Corporations aren’t afraid consumers will stop buying their products because they’ve monopolized entire industries.

The underlying problem isn’t just inflation. It’s the monopolization of America.
