I’ve been out of the States for over 3 months. I’ve entered the UK, France, Italy, and Albania without any contact from border or customs enforcement. Smooth and stress-free. So, from Albania, as a burgeoning world traveler and U.S. Citizen: Fuck Trump and the GOP.

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.
