Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.

You play stupid games you win stupid prizes, Lindsey.

We are seeing a significant uptick in our work. Why?

People understand and that our democracy is broken. We must design what’s next.

The path is possible.

This shit is so crazy and so obviously our biggest problem underlying everything and anyone who says otherwise is either greedy or blind

We said what we said
The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

We discussed the importance of education and how it shapes our communities and informs our democracy. It all felt so incredibly relevant to what we are facing right now.

I really do hope you get a chance to see this film at a screening near you. More details here: www.thelastclassfilm.com

We enjoyed a showing of #thelastclass and a conversation with @wkamaubell.bsky.social & @rbreich.bsky.social tonight. The film is a beautiful love letter to teaching. Our homework: become an activist! We’re working on it, Professor Reich!

The challenges we now face must be met by a bold progressive populist movement that strengthens democracy and shakes up the system.

We can’t simply return to the path we were on before Trump.

We cannot accept the status quo of Big Money dominating our politics and economy.

Starting November 1st, New Mexico will become the first state to offer free universal childcare to all its residents.

It's expected to save families over $12,000 per child annually.

This is a huge step forward — and a reminder that we have the power to fix the system.

Bob has become the conscience of our democracy.
Attempting to rig elections on his behalf.

Turning the military on citizens.

Toying with the idea of declaring martial law.

Attacking political enemies and punishing those who speak out against his regime.

If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?

Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.

For seven years, I lived in Shreveport, Louisiana, one of the poorest cities in the country. The Speaker promotes his Christianity, but it’s an astonishing hypocrisy.

The fraud and abuse of Medicaid and Medicare is embedded in the providers, not the people served.
Thousands of Mike Johnson's own constituents are at risk of losing Medicaid coverage following the passage of a budget bill he pushed for.

And it’s all so he could help bankroll more tax cuts for corporations and the super-rich.

Don’t let him forget.

The argument against regulation is always the same: “It stifles growth and jobs.”

But just as tax cuts for corporations have not trickled down, regulatory cuts have not benefited most people.

Big companies enjoy bigger profits. Working people bear the costs.

Trump has attacked and undermined vital nonpartisan data, including:

-BLS monthly jobs numbers
-DC crime statistics
-EPA emissions database
-NOAA & National Weather Service forecasting

Like every dictator, Trump knows the major enemy of tyrants is an educated public.
