Twenty Lessons, read by John Lithgow Key selections from On Tyranny, for viewing and sharing

"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work.

The fascist felon, his billionaire benefactor, & their baby tech bros are complete frauds. They are spending $154 billion more than President Biden did a year ago. #MOMSky

THE GENDER WAGE GAP A Brief History

Future Forward Women U.S. Gender Wage Gap Report 2025 A State-by-State Ranking Rhode Island has the smallest gender pay gap in the nation. There, women earn 99.6 cents for every dollar earned by men. Utah ranks 51st (last) in the nation for gender pay equity. Women lose an estimated $400,000 to the gender wage gap over their career. Women of color and women in higher-paying occupations lose even more. Among all women, Native women experience the most significant gender pay gap, earning just 52 cents for every dollar.

While we’ve made progress, women—especially women of color—still don’t have pay parity. If these tariffs stay in place, rising costs will hit women and their families hardest.

We must keep pushing for equity.

When kindness becomes a habit, it improves our health Whether it's volunteering at a local school or taking soup to a sick neighbor, improving the welfare of others can also improve our own physical and mental health, a sizable body of research shows.

We broke the Wisconsin GOP's super majority in the state Senate. In the state Assembly we made significant gains and came within reach of a majority.

Together, we made our path forward brighter here in Wisconsin.

Together, we will continue to work to drive our state forward. tinylink.net/NajzW
