Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%
Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%
Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.
As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

Tomorrow is the Epstein file release day. Reports are the DOJ is still redacting documents as of tonight, so expectations for tomorrow remain low.

Muting a Black woman to claim the vote was unanimous is so incredibly on the nose
The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

Also, those street lights bring to mind, the Stemmons Freeway sign in the Zapruder Film -- not due to their appearance, of course, but b/c of how they're obstructing crucial view.

Suspect has abnormal gait: walking briskly, but appears to be shifting weight to left side (propelling w/ arm), while limiting weight-bearing on the right. He also appears to be dragging RT leg, once past the lights. Also: overpronation: RT foot, esp evident in last frame.

Combined with the Medicaid cuts, every Michigander will see health insurance costs rise, if they can even get it, and access to care decrease.
My question is: What are you going to do in January when this all rolls around again?

After Republicans refused to extend ACA subsidies, 4 Michigan insurers are dropping out of the ACA marketplace altogether. That’s 200,000 Michiganders who just lost their plans.
Four health insurers are dropping or significantly curtailing individual market offerings in 2026 as insurance pools are predicted to grow sicker. bit.ly/444v08M

Medicare cuts January 1st. Between the Medicaid cuts and the expiring ACA subsidies, it has slid beneath the radar. This will haunt them and it should. I had written off the senate, but its definitely in play now.

All of the people affected are disabled, which drives home something the disablity community has been talking about it: With cuts to Medicaid programs that enable independent living, the risk is not necessarily that disabled people will end up in institutions, it's that they'll be on the street.

Plus there’s still zero evidence that the two people killed while clinging to the wreckage were drug traffickers. Makes no sense to use space on a “drug vessel” for 11 passengers.
