According to a new study, members of Congressional leadership perform 47% better in stock market trades than their rank-and-file peers, thanks to access to nonpublic information. Today would be a great day to ban ALL elected officials from trading stock, don't you think?

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.

Rep. Rashida Tlaib introduced legislation to recognize Israel’s genocide of Palestinian people in Gaza and call for the U.S. to take concrete actions like an arms embargo to end the slaughter. “The Israeli government’s genocide in Gaza has not ended, and it will not end until we act.” bit.ly/3JEtWll

The dates NOV 25 - DEC 2 are highlighted in red. The text reads: NO SPENDING. NO WORK. NO SURRENDER. IF YOU MUST: SMALL BUSINESSES ONLY. PAY WITH CASH. The poster is for an action advocating for a general strike or economic shutdown, listing various organizing groups at the bottom.

Quick point of clarification for pundits, politicians, journalists, & any others commenting on the Epstein Trump files: The victims were NOT "young women". They were CHILDREN. As such, they were not capable of giving legal consent. Sex without consent is rape. Words matter. Get them right.

SNAP has existed for 60 years. Benefits have gone out every single month over those six decades, including during government shutdowns. Until now. Make no mistake: The money is available to fund SNAP during this shutdown. Trump is making a choice to withhold it. Don’t forget this.

No it’s important to listen to this. Because then you understand that many of them will do ANYTHING to keep power. Remember Musk got involved in the 2024 election after saying to Tucker “if she wins” I am definitely going to prison. So we need to move knowing that nothing is off the table for them.

Elon spent $291M electing Trump. In exchange, Trump is giving him billions in government contracts and allowed him to gut the federal agencies investigating and regulating his companies. Bribery politicians is legal because the politicians accepting the bribes write the laws.

An estimated 15.7 million workers use SNAP. It’s a lifeline for those in low-wage jobs. Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker. Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps. Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.
