Bernie nails it - CEO pay and corporate greed are out of control 👇

In 1970, the average CEO compensation was 11 times the average hourly worker wages. In 1980, it was 42 to 1. In 1990 it was 85 to 1. Today it is estimated to be 344 to 1, on average.

So let’s see, Trump has been President for a week and now we are fighting with Canada, Greenland, Mexico, Denmark, Panama, Colombia, and pretty much the entire EU.

It does seem that Viktor Orban and Netanyahu now likes us more though, so there’s that.

No I will not debate you on the ethics of ICE school raids to kidnap kids & strike into them the fear of a tyrannical government.

And if you find yourself defending such fascism, expect a block—and remember that at no point in history were the people who justified targeting children the good guys.

Hey, while we're talking about erasing history:

In 1949 the US military held its first Aeriel Gunnery Competition, later known as "Top Gun."

The best of the best competed in dogfighting and other skills. The team that won, was the 332nd: The Tuskegee airmen.

So they refused to announce a winner🤡
