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.

One of the new goals of the far right is to make it harder for women to vote.

The SAVE Act, which the Senate is debating now, would be a major vehicle to achieve that goal.

Spread the word about why we need to stop SAVE. https://t.co/JsD40KCYtD

You see it now?

Here’s why the SAVE Act is so dangerous. It’s voter suppression.

Trump isn't paying anyone, the taxpayers pay it all‼️
It’s important for people to understand the "government" means the taxpayer‼️
FOR PROFIT PRISON CAMPS‼️

.@JamesTalarico tells Joe Rogan why he opposed a bill mandating the 10 Commandments in classrooms: I told my colleagues that I thought the bill was unconstitutional, un-American, and yes, un-Christian... In all of Jesus' teachings, he's always focused on the outsider. My concern is for the Muslim kid, the Jewish kid, the Hindu kid, the atheist kid who now has a poster on the wall — forced by the government — that says you’re not welcome here. If Jesus saw that, he would weep for those students and would demand that we love them as ourselves.

Here is a thought worth considering

[Rep. Mark Pocan @RepMarkPocan]

There seems to be some confusion about the SAVE America Act. If it becomes law, you will NOT be able to vote with your drivers license alone.
You’d need:

1. A passport, which more than half of Americans don’t have and costs at least $130
OR
2. A birth certificate PLUS your photo ID with matching names, which nearly 70 million married women lack
OR
3. Military services papers (not a military ID alone) with sensitive info.

I’m voting NO.

[Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg]

Trump is actively making our goods more expensive by blocking a piece of key infrastructure - apparently all because his most Epstein-linked Cabinet Secretary conveyed a request from a billionaire GOP donor. America does not have to tolerate this kind of corruption.

BREAKING:

Both the White House & RNCC have lashed out at the creators of this ad.

It must have struck a nerve.

Maybe they don't like being outed as fascists.

You know what to do: SPREAD THIS EVERYWHERE!

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

How should we respond to Trump’s tyranny? History shows us the answer.

[Andrew—#IAmTheResistance @AmoneyResists]

LMFAO when you lay it out like this the absurdity is just STAGGERING.

[Be A King @BerniceKing]

Alex Pretti was a Minneapolis ICU nurse who spent his days caring for and saving others. Today, he was shot and killed by a Border Patrol Agent. Alex’s life was extinguished by state violence. We must tell the truth about what is happening.

My father warned us, “When evil men plot, good men must plan. When evil men burn and bomb, good men must build and bind.”

What we are witnessing now (masked raids, people taken without due process, vigilante, Gestapo, and slave patrol-like tactics normalized under the color of law) is a moral crisis.

Nonviolence demands more than outrage; it demands action.

Congress must dismantle ICE; enact just, humane immigration policies; and ensure implementation of the policies by people who honor the humanity of Black and Brown immigrants, respect those raising their voices in support of immigrants, and seek the safety of community.

The blood of those who are being kidnapped and unjustly killed by agents with impunity is not only on the hands of those who pull the trigger, but on every lawmaker and every court that has the power to intervene and chooses silence.

Creating the Beloved Community requires truth, accountability, and the courage to act before more lives are lost.

“Get it all on record now — get the films — get the witnesses — because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened.”

Kamala said trump would do exactly what happened today and the media called her a liar.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump.

Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.
