Yesterday, I was proud to stand with New York’s labor movement to rally for worker power and demand a city that works for all of us, not just the wealthiest few.

The Odyssey cost $250 million to make. Guess who got a tax break worth more than 30x that last year? Amazon—after firing 30,000 workers.

Trump’s interviews today about the passing of Graham made one thing clear, again, as he immediately promoted the “save” America act: He is incapable of compassion. He made it all about…. Himself. He is a empty hollow “man”

Wilson: I guarantee you there are 10 reporters in D.C. right now who know exactly what Mitch McConnell’s medical status is. They’re not reporting it.  If I’m Beshear, brother, just declare the election. And if they want to prove that Mitch McConnell is alive and well, go do it.

Speaking of Mann and America (see last repost), Ebert really stepped up to the plate in his review of The Last of the Mohicans. It ends with an all-timer kicker (in my humble opinion), a perfect, almost horror-flecked appendage to the movie itself www.rogerebert.com/reviews/the-...

Jul 3rd 1984 - A chemical gas which reanimates corpses was accidentally released. 📽️📅 The Return of the Living Dead (1985)
3 Screenshots from the movie "The Return of the Living Dead" (1985): First, white text on a black screen reads, "The events portrayed in this film are all true. The names are real names of real people and real organizations." Second, a wide shot of a concrete building labeled "UNEEDA Medical Supply" with several parked cars and two people standing outside; overlaid text reads, "JULY 3, 1984 5:30 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time." Third, inside a dim industrial setting, a man in a light shirt leans over as greenish gas or smoke escapes, with a sense of urgency or panic.

It’s 11:30 p.m. in a quiet Portland neighborhood. The streets are empty, but the air is thick. ICE is offloading round after round of tear gas and chemical agents into the night. Now, the frontline isn't the street; it's our living rooms. We’re trapped in our own homes, struggling to breathe.

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game. The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87% Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32% Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%. As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.
