I took this photo a while ago, but damn... I still think about it. This is some serious bullshit. @fuckyouiquit

Every week should be a 4-day work week.

American workers are over 400% more productive than they were in the 1940s. And yet, millions of Americans are working longer hours for lower wages than they were decades ago.

It’s time for this to change.

@mikulaja Thank you for covering this. Excellent work.

Boeing fired its CEO in 2020 after the crashes and paid him $62 million to leave.

Boeing's current CEO is leaving and just got a 45% raise to $33 million amid more safety scandals.

The CEO-to-worker pay gap at America’s largest companies was 344-to-1 last year.

In 1965, the ratio was 20-to-1.

This explosion in CEO pay relative to the pay of workers isn’t because CEOs have become so much more valuable.

They've just gamed the system to line their pockets.

One-third of Amazon warehouse workers are on food stamps, Medicaid or other government assistance, according to a new survey.

Can someone explain why taxpayers like you and me have to subsidize profits for a man worth $206 billion?

By 2030, Wall Street could control 40% of single-family rental homes — 7.6 million in all.

Hedge funds are turning homes into profit machines, while pricing real people out.

@JeffMerkley's bill would ban hedge funds from buying more homes & force them to sell the ones they own.

Police knocked on the wrong door in the middle of the night at the Mississippi home of Ismael Lopez.

When he opened the door, his dog ran out.

They shot and killed it.

He was holding a rifle. They told him to put it down.

He turned around to put it down and they shot him in the back of the head and killed him.

The officer was not prosecuted.

And today a Mississippi jury rejected his wife's civil suit, stating that they did not feel the officer used "excessive force."

If you think fertilized eggs are people but parents who've crossed the oceans with their kids aren't, stop pretending your concerns are religious.

A General Motors worker tells @berniesanders she was forced into 12-hour shifts for 90 days straight, no days off.

"You work, you eat, you sleep. I saw none of my family."

She's one of the 150,000 @UAW workers who's preparing to strike if automakers don't offer a fair contract.

Jon Stewart delivers another crushing truth. 🔥

Why do we let corporations socialize financial losses and privatize their gains?

Let that marinate for a few minutes before commenting, it might be a little heavy at first.

Corporate greed is suffocating the working class.

The Supreme Court justices paid an average of $42,539 to go to college and grad school.

If they were graduating today they’d have to pay over $320,000.

Four of the justices graduated in the ‘70s, when the average student debt was just $1,000.
