Your Labor Day reminder that if the minimum wage increased at the rate of inflation & productivity since 1960 it'd be $28 todayβ€”not $7.25. Meaningβ€”billionaires & corps have stolen at least $21/hour from working Americans for 60 years.

We don't suffer a lack of resourcesβ€”but from an excess of greed.

The FAA is facing a major crisis without a leader because Elon Musk pushed him out FAA chief Michael Whitaker resigned earlier this month after facing criticism from Musk.

We did not have a FAA administrator to respond to the tragic crash last night in DC. Why? Because Elon Musk pushed the head appointed under Biden to resign after he fined SpaceX for failing to follow safety license requirements. www.theverge.com/news/603113/...

Dear Politician,

Thinking women should have kids isn’t β€œcommon sense,” it’s sexism.

Claiming gay sex is unnatural isn’t β€œcommon sense,” it’s homophobia.

Saying migrants are dangerous isn’t β€œcommon sense,” it’s racism.

If your β€œcommon sense” is a nostalgia for inequality, it belongs in the trash.

Welcome to the plutokleptokakistocracy! Where the ultra wealthy steal from you and run the country in the most insanely inept way imaginable.

Today’s events call for a watching of Cabaret.

β€œMaximilian: The Nazis are just a gang of stupid hooligans, but they do serve a purpose. Let them get rid of the Communists. Later we'll be able to control them.

Brian: But who exactly is we?

Maximilian: Germany, of course.”

America needs a progressive party that fights for universal health care, high-speed rail, and a living wage β€” not "norms", "bipartisanship", and a TikTok ban
