CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 325-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

My whole childless life I’ve been told when you become a parent your heart opens up to a new special magical kind of love, apparently a love so strong it will let children die of entirely preventable illnesses.

Elon Musk is planning to spend at least $100 million to help Republicans in this year’s midterms. That’s just 0.014 percent of his current $702 billion net worth. Oligarchs can rig the system at the expense of everyone else, and only spend pennies doing so. We must get Big Money out of politics.

Yesterday your daughter got a restraining order against Rep. Max Miller to stop him from harassing her lawyer—after accusing him of abusing her and your 2-year-old granddaughter. But rather than condemn him, you’re on a press tour harassing an 85-year-old scientist. Shameless.

I still can't get over the fact that our politicians get $558 per week for meals... WTAF? While kids get cut off SNAP 2,232 per month, just for meals. I will be mad about this for a long time. They have the nerve to deny low income kids food

If your 80-year-old grandpa was insisting that the reason the backyard pool has algae in it is because terrorists are trying to make him look bad and demanding the police arrest somebody, you'd put him in a senior care facility before the end of the day.

Black text on white page that reads as follows:

On June 19, 1865, African American communities in Galveston, Texas, finally learned of their freedom from slavery — two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation took effect. 

For 161 years, Juneteenth has been a day of remembrance for the freedom that was delayed. It is also a celebration of the joy and resilience that flourished despite that delay. 

The contributions of African Americans, whose struggle for freedom shaped our nation, are immeasurable. Yet too many Black families continue to bear the brunt of an affordability crisis that has pushed them out of the neighborhoods and communities they've built. 

True freedom has a tangible impact on daily life: the ability to afford housing, earn a living wage, put food on the table, support a family, and create a future for generations to come. 

As we celebrate today, we must recommit ourselves to ensuring this freedom is fully realized. 

Happy Juneteenth, New York City.

Thanks to Trump's tax cuts, 88 corporations — including Coinbase, CVS, and Disney — paid ZERO federal income tax last year. They also spent $852M on political donations and lobbying. Their combined tax savings: over $26 BILLION (a 3,000% ROI!) We must break this corrupt cycle.

You're in a chess tournament against last year's champion. He jumps a pawn clear across the board to take your rook. "That's not how chess works!" you say to the judge. That's when you learn the tournament's judges get appointed by the previous year's champion. (What reading the news feels like)

Trump sues everybody over everything, comedians, critics, networks, anyone who bruises his ego. But notice who he never seems eager to sue: the women accusing him, or the people saying far worse things about him. IMO, he knows he would not survive discovery.

The world’s ten richest people — all Americans — saw their collective net worth increase by $260 billion in April. These ten people are now worth a combined $2.7 trillion. The bottom 50% of U.S. households, 66 million in total, is worth $4.3 trillion. Wondering if inequality is out of control?
