Every time you wear an N95, you are making essential places more accessible for high risk, medically vulnerable, immunocompromised, and disabled people. Thank you.
Tax the rich. Income and wealth.
Your Friday reminder that trickle-down economics is a cruel hoax.
Cruel because it's used by the super-rich to avoid paying their fair share of taxes.
And a hoax because nothing has ever trickled down.

Tax the rich.
For the second year in a row, the wealth gains for the 100 richest Americans exceeded what ALL American households spent on groceries combined.
~$995B for billionaires vs ~$775B in total grocery spending.
We have an oligarchy and inequality problem masquerading as an affordability crisis.

The DOE just cut multiple fields from the “professional degree” list, shrinking loan access for future workers. Nursing, PAs, PT, OT, audiology, public health, social work, & education master’s all got dropped.
And yes, they’re fields dominated by women.
