Why are things unaffordable? If the min wage increased at the rate of productivity since 1960, it'd be $27 today—not $7.25
Billionaires & Mega Corps have stolen at least $20/hour from working Americans for 65 years—an estimated $79T

We too often look at prices when talking about affordability & not enough at wages. As Harold Meyerson explains, had the bottom 90% earned the same share of national income they did in 1975, by 2023 they would have made an additional $79 trillion!

The $79 Trillion Heist - The American Prospect
We’re in an affordability crisis because workers aren’t being paid at the same levels they earned in the past.

All of you know Trump is the US president who surrendered in Afghanistan, right? Made a deal in 2020 cutting out the Afghan govt, let thousands of Taliban fighters out of jail in exchange for nothing.
I know the "everything in 2020 was Biden's fault, not Trump's" rule, I just don't agree with it.

The war will end when Russia stops fighting. Therefore, pressure has to be put on Russia, so that they stop believing that they will win. Why is that so hard to understand?

Socialism is what they called public power.
Socialism is what they called social security.
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

Important to understand the Epstein stuff and the fascism and the corruption are, in a lot of ways, really all the same story from different angles: powerful men who can and do abuse vulnerable people around them because they can, and because systems of elite accountability catastrophically failed

Democrats Should Have Let Republicans Kill the Filibuster
Instead of caving on the shutdown, Democrats should have waited for the GOP to cave on Trump’s demand to scotch this antidemocratic tactic.

Admittedly the most uninformed politician in all of D.C.
Q: Just last week a minister was shot directly in the face with a pepper round by a DHS agent that left his face bloodied. Are you concerned that this is a religious freedom issue?

He believes it is all his to do with as he pleases – the White House, the government, the country. He believes he wasn’t elected to serve the public but installed as a sovereign. The demolition of the White House is the manifestation of an outrageously autocratic assertion of power.

the president has destroyed the east wing of the white house without so much as a word of input from anyone else to build a royal ballroom paid for with bribes
NEW: After The Washington Post reported Monday on the demolition of the "East Wing facade," a new picture obtained by Law Dork that was taken on Tuesday shows that a substantial portion of the entirety of the East Wing has been demolished.

Republicans are trafficking the lie that this shutdown is because Democrats want to give undocumented immigrants free health care.
That's not true, and it's not the law.

I think it would be a huge public service if major media outlets interviewed people given RIF notices and let them explain in detail what their jobs are so that people can judge for themselves whether these positions are wasteful like Trump and Vought claim or whether they help the country prosper.

Huge, huge swathes of *Trump voters* will effectively have no health care available except for emergency ER.
It is simultaneously a) the worst way to maintain public health and b) the most *expensive* way to do it.
Idiocy from moral degenerates. That's our country now.

How would $50M change your life?
You'd have more than enough for yourself, your family, for generations. If you taxed Elon Musk at 99.99%, so he only controlled .01% of the wealth he currently controls—he'd still have $50M.
No one needs or earns $500B. Abolish billionaires. Save democracy. Period.
