22 California billionaires have spent a combined $150 million so far to defeat Prop 40. By spending their fortunes trying to stop California from taxing billionaires, they're making the argument for a billionaire wealth tax more clearly and articulately than anyone else possibly could.

The Supreme Court's "shadow docket" allows justices to effectively make rulings in secret without explaining their decisions. Is it any wonder why so many do not trust the Roberts court? www.propublica.org/article/supreme-…

The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020. — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%. It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low. We must unrig the system.

Target paid its CEO $21.8M last year — 794x the median Target worker's pay of $27,506. Target has also spent $13.9B on stock buybacks since 2019, while remaining among the largest employers of Medicaid and SNAP recipients in America. This is what I mean by a rigged economy.

Worker productivity is up 92% while hourly pay is up just 34%. And Fox News thinks young people can’t afford things because they’re lazy? I don't think so. It's time to unrig our broken economy.

No one should give a shit about risky politics—I certainly don't. Donald Trump is demented and psychopathic, and he has control of a stockpile of 3700 nuclear weapons. *That* is the risk we should be talking about.

Employers spend almost $1.7 billion a year hiring union-busting consultants and law firms to stop their workers from organizing for better wages and working conditions. Imagine if they spent that money on their workers instead?

Random reminder that banning elected officials from trading stock is a total no brainer. They can use privileged information to make money on the stock market, while they’re supposed to be working for you. Make no mistake — it’s legalized corruption.

Reminder that the Trump regime is still blowing up suspected “drug boats” — killing 185 people since September. But no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're taking Trump's word for it. This is murder. We must not lose sight of this lawlessness.

The founders believed that if a madman became president, members of Congress would serve the country’s interest and remove him from office. That seemed a reliable system to safeguard the republic. Boy, did they screw up.

We are a nation of 349M, yet one man decided to launch our nation into a reckless, illegal war without congressional authorization or counsel or the support of the American people. He didn’t think he had any duty to sell it or serve the people’s interests. This is why despotic rule is so dangerous.

“Trump as a sinister clown with bright orange hair, white face makeup, red facial markings, and a ruffled Victorian-style collar stares directly at the viewer with a wide grin. He holds a red balloon with white text reading ‘MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.’ Large bold text at the bottom of the image reads ‘PENNYWISE LIVES!’ The background is dark and textured, enhancing the eerie tone.

March for Mumia's freedom! Beginning on Nov. 28th in Philadelphia and culminating at the prison gates on the 44th anniversary of his arrest. marchformumia.org #FreeMumia #MumiaAbu-Jamal
A promotional poster for the ‘March for Mumia.’ On the left is a photo of a man with long locs and handcuffs, wearing striped prison-style clothing, sitting with his arm resting on his knee. Bold text reads ‘March for Mumia’ and ‘Unite to Free Mumia & All Political Prisoners.’ The poster lists dates (Nov 28–Dec 9), locations (Philadelphia to Frackville, PA), and goals such as ending elder abuse, ending medical neglect, and freeing Mumia. A large red ‘URGENT’ section explains that he is in danger of permanent blindness and needs immediate medical care. The bottom right shows a street protest with people holding signs, including one that says ‘Free Mumia! Free all political prisoners!’ Contact information and a website appear at the bottom.
