CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1

CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1

Trickle-down economics was always a sham.

Nothing has ever trickled down.

As corporate media bows to Trump, public broadcasting has never been more important to our democracy.

Public radio stations reach 98% of Americans. If they close, millions lose access to critical news.

Trump is trying to control not just what we do, but what we know. Be warned.

Kudos to Stephen Colbert for speaking out.

Surrendering to the Trump regime's tyranny only invites more of it.

Paramount clearly seems to care more about getting a merger approved than its own integrity.

Ask AIPAC why they spent millions against me.

Ask Pharma, ask big oil, ask crypto why they spent so much against me.

It wasn’t due to a lack of theory.

100 billionaire families spent $2.6 billion in the 2024 election.

70% of these donations went to Republicans.

Now, Trump and the GOP are gutting the FEC — which enforces campaign finance and anti-corruption laws.

See how this works?

Tyrants view educated citizens as their greatest enemy.

Slaveholders stopped the enslaved from learning to read. Nazis burned books. Dictators censor media.

That’s why Trump is attacking education, science, and the arts – to prevent us from learning.

It's Fascism 101. [Cartoon by Adam Zyglis]

An unelected billionaire, with no actual Congressional authority or govt experience, has access to Treasury payment systems and sensitive information about millions of Americans who receive Social Security checks, tax refunds, and other payments.

People can’t afford rent and groceries already, the President of the United States should not be dragging us into a trade war with Mexico and Canada.

President Trump’s federal hiring freeze has forced VA hospitals around the nation to stop hiring workers.

Veterans need healthcare and the VA needs people to meet the demand.

They deserve better.

Congratulations, Democrats.

The TikTok ban was initiated by Trump, passed through the House and Senate along bipartisan lines, yet because President Biden signed the bill into law, Democrats allowed Trump to be the hero on this, politically.

Absolute malpractice by leadership.

Every American TikTok user is currently seeing this when they try to open the app.

Congratulations, Democrats.

This could’ve been avoided had you listened to progressives last year when this bill was being forced through Congress.

Corporate greed is out of control and hurting workers across the country. It would take FIVE career lifetimes for a worker to make what a CEO makes in one year!

Roughly 68,000 Americans die each year due to lack of healthcare.

Medical debt is the leading cause of bankruptcy in America.

It’s way past time for single-payer healthcare.
