Unions power the economy. Unions build the middle class. Unions fight for fairness. I'm so honored to be endorsed by strong Michigan unions.

This, in graph form.
Two graphs showing the share of National income of the bottom 50% of earners vs the top 1% from 1980 to 2016. Top graph is for the US, bottom for Western Europe. For Europe the two lines are fairly steady with the top 1% getting around 10-12% and the bottom 50% getting in the low 20's. The US starts similar to Europe, but by 2016 the lines have crossed. The top 1% is now up at 20%, while the bottom 50% is around 14%.

Trump, empowered by SCOTUS, entered office convinced he could do insider trading, sell pardons and favors, take bribes, steal and openly flout the law. Now, with the prospect of investigations looming, he is growing ever more fearful that he miscalculated.

Love how this dude discovered the cheat codes of "what if I listened to constituents" and "what if I modeled good behavior" and "maybe I behave like a normal person should." These are apparently dark secrets that have been hidden from other politicians.

I find it hard to believe you and your work weren't at least an inspiration for the latest #SNW episode (Human Friend). Maybe someone else came up with the idea independently, but you are still the original!

This is how it's done. Fight it out in the primary, and then link arms to defeat the common enemy in the general. Great demonstration of post-primary leadership from @mallorymcmorrow.bsky.social.

For the second time in three weeks, the Roberts Court on Tuesday night green-lit an Alabama congressional map that a lower court has repeatedly found intentionally discriminates against Black voters.

In Alabama, the Roberts Court hands Republicans yet another shocking gerrymandering win
By reinstating a discriminatory map, the justices are once again doing all they can to help the GOP.

Weaponize your happiness/joy. It's an easy way to identify abusers early. anyone who looks down on you for enjoying your hobbies in your own space/time, harming no one, then they are telling you who they are at hello. Friends will choose not to participate if they aren't feeling it, not shame you.
