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.

On top of refusing to fully fund SNAP during the shutdown, the Trump regime has:

-Cut $1 billion from USDA programs supporting food banks
-Enacted tariffs that have caused food prices to rise
-Made the largest cut to SNAP in history
-Canceled the annual food security survey

Shameful.

The SCOTUS administrative stay is a terrible thing for 42 million Americans who are uncertain if they'll have food in November.

But make sure to blame the *real* villain: Convicted Felon Donald Trump. It was his decision to appeal in the first place.

Trump could just fully fund the SNAP benefits.

A watercolour illustration from "Wind and Truth" by Brandon Sanderson. Adolin Kholin is riding his father's horse Gallant, drawn resembling a powerful black Frisian stallion. Gallant is running in the air, and both man and horse are grinning, having the time of their lives. Adolin is wearing goggles against the wind, his blue gold-embroidered uniform echoed in the blue bardings of Gallant.

A happy boy and his happy horse: Adolin Kholin on Gallant, both living their shared dream of flying. An absolute joy of a commission for Finnean.

From Wind and Truth, by Brandon Sanderson. Watercolour on Windsor&Newton cold-pressed paper, 11x14 inches. Prints coming soon!

REV. BLACK (who was shot in the head with a pepper ball): “If this is what they’re doing to pastors, journalists, teachers, mothers, and the elderly gathered to sing and pray outside ICE facilities… what might they be doing to our neighbors who are behind those walls?”

I don't currently have mods, but some of my chat are just as amazingly protective❤️

This is a mod appreciation post.

ICE detains mother dropping off child at elementary school—refuses to even look at her U.S. legal papers.

"What documents?" agent sarcastically replies—holding up the folder.

"The ones in your hands!" witnesses yell back.

Madison Elementary School in Santa Ana, California.

Denying access to food is an act of unfathomable violence and cruelty. The circumstances to how someone wound up needing assistance is immaterial: what matters is that everyone should have access to food. Everyone.

Everyone deserves food, shelter, and healthcare as a basic human right.

Trump's boat strikes are killing potentially innocent civilians. They must be stopped. On Tuesday, President Donald Trump announced that the U.S. military had killed six people in a strike on a boat that, Trump said, was “trafficking narcotics.”

However the Trump administration now tries to justify its strikes on private boats in the Caribbean, nothing it can say magically unlocks legal authority to use lethal force against civilians.

Congress must rein in this egregious abuse of power.
