We’re in the second Gilded Age just like the first — when America’s wealth was in the hands of a few, money corrupted politics, and working people were abused and exploited.
It can be easy to feel discouraged, but the first Gilded Age teaches us lessons on how we can fight back.

Amazon workers in Quebec unionized last year.
This week, Amazon closed its warehouse operations in Quebec.
Amazon denied the closures were related to unionization, but it has a track record of crushing unions in America.
Union busting is disgusting — and a global problem.

Don't forget that just hours before he took office, Trump became a crypto billionaire by shilling a worthless meme coin.
And of course he didn't divest from any of his other businesses.
Is it any wonder that ethics are out the window in the second Trump administration?

Trump has repealed a Biden executive order mandating ethical behavior from administration employees.
The order told federal workers to:
-Not accept gifts from lobbyists
-Not take other bribes
-Not lobby for two years after government work
-And more
Now those rules are gone.

Remember, today especially, that MLK said America suffers not just from "the vitriolic words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people." Keep the faith. Keep up the fight.

The guy who started the crusade to ban TikTok because it hurt his ego “saving” it because now it’s stroking his ego is hollow victory & a dangerous precedent. While I’m happy it’s back, this has massive repercussions for democracy, free speech, & our country.
