Past is prologue.

In 1933, during the Great Depression, a group of wealthy businessmen tried to overthrow the US government and install a fascist dictator to protect their own interests.

And everything that led to it feels way too familiar right now.

This is not a history lesson, it’s a warning.

With the tRump economy, next year will be " Kids don't need gifts, concentrate on sending dry socks to our beleaguered troops dying in Venezuela."

Making meals requires a bit more imagination. Less money spent on doctor visits and medications. Pots, pans, and dishes easier to clean.

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.

I have a feeling that if someone told this guy his house burned down with his family in it, his face would still look like this. Always has a smarmy look while he peddles lies.

I'm not Black. I do know what it is like to be disrespected, denigrated, and sneered at as working class. Next major conflict started by this regime, Black people should sit back and let the white supremacists do the work to protect the billionaire class.

The incompetent individuals who are rolling out project 2025 are totally gobsmacked at how easy it has been. Despite their ignorance and spasmodic behavior, they are succeeding.

While the conservative activist "justices" sided with cruelty, Justice Brown was playing 3D chess. She was miles ahead in her thinking and knowledge of law. And a "DEI hire" to boot.
