As a DV survivor, I was horrified to hear Karoline Leavitt's comments today. Every day there's a new low.

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations.
If you're 45, that number is 74.7%.
If you're under 28, the number is 100%.
Happy Labor Day.

When we reestablish rule of law in the US, one of the reforms we should make is a law capping CEO compensation (salary, options, etc) as a fixed multiple of that of the lowest paid worker (employee, IC, whatever.)
If CEOs couldn’t make more than 20x the minimum pay, you’d see wages skyrocket.

Via Morning Brew
The Institute for Policy Studies analyzed the 100 companies in the S&P 500 with the lowest median pay & found that overall CEO compensation increased nearly 35% over five yrs, outpacing employees' gains.
At those 100 companies,the average CEO-to-worker pay gaphit 632 to 1 last yr.

85% of Gaza is on the brink of death due to starvation. Israel could let aid in at any moment. And some people (like these men tried to do with me on Friday) are still trying to justify this atrocity.
There is no justification. This could stop at any moment. End the blockade now.

“Is there any sign of life?”
“Have we heard a heartbeat?”
“Does she feel any kicking?”
“We don’t have the equipment to do that.”
That’s the full 911 audio from a nurse inside an ICE detention center near Denver, calling for help as a four-months-pregnant woman bled and cried out in pain.
