I know Rahm Emanuel. I worked with him for years in the Clinton administration, and then when he was Obama’s chief of staff. Rahm Emanuel represents everything that’s been wrong about the Democratic Party for the last 30+ years. Be warned. robertreich.substack.com/p/the-rahm…

It's already estimated that the richest 1% alone evade $163 billion in taxes every year. But Trump gutted the IRS — including the unit tasked with auditing billionaires. The agency's audit revenue fell 35%. Now, Trump's IRS is not publishing data on unpaid taxes. See the problem?

At the height of the ICE raids earlier this year, agents in armored military vehicles rolled through residential neighborhoods. Masked agents patrolled public parks and stationed themselves outside elementary schools; squadrons of ICE agents snatched pedestrians off the streets. 🧵

There are Mormon missionaries walking around Cap Hill in Seattle trying to talk to people. While I was walking around down there today saw two boys see me and my bright blue hair and go right the other direction. The “poison frog” effect works every time 💙

The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed... "How will you pay for it?" The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts... "How much do you need?" It doesn't have to be this way.

The Evanston RoundTable in my Chicago suburb interviewed 2 people who saw ICE agents beat up a citizen and leave him lying on the ground last weekend. One witness said the man “was screaming ‘I'm a U.S. citizen. Leave me alone.’” Another witness said the feds told an “absolute lie” about the case.

Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024. In 2025, he made 1,794x more. And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers? I will continue my boycott of Starbucks.

Dear Texans: Here's an election pro tip. If a candidate won't debate You don't vote for them. Period. It's that simple. By not debating they're saying you're concerns are not a priority. Vote for those who will debate. They have plans and value your concerns. Vote Talarico! Vote Hinojosa!

Dolores Huerta is one of the most influential labor leaders of the 20th century. Dolores witnessed firsthand how many farm workers in her community suffered from low wages and poor working conditions. As co-founder of United Farm Workers, she organized hugely impactful walkouts and boycotts.
Photo of Dolores Huerta wearing an Aztec headdress, with the words "Latine Heritage Month" above her. Below her it says "Photography Credit: Tom Hilton. Wiki Commons." A quote reads: 'I say that now we see a lot of hateful rhetoric against Mexicans and the Latino community, but we have a very powerful weapon. And that is our vote.'
