Democrats need to hammer this point home to combat the lies Republicans are pushing.

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.

β€˜Dirty Donald’ It’s Thursday. There are 355 days until the midterm elections. Republicans are ready to finish off Obamacare, Trump’s cover-up (no, a different one) and the right is really, really gross.

I’m reading Nobody’s Girl by Virginia Guiffre and the entitlement of these rich men boggles the mind. Girls (and women) are not property or playthings for their benefit. They (the men) are gross and disgusting. They make me sick to my stomach.

This is terrible. What did you gain? Not a damn thing. Healthcare will still be cut. I’m disgusted with this vote.

The Republicans are laughing at us for caving and getting nothing in return. Nothing! I get that people are hurting but they are going to be devastated by healthcare prices. #disappointedyetagainbyDems

Casual reminder that the myth of β€œpulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Time to review Lucy with the football since they seem to believe the republican empty promises. We can’t have affordable healthcare but, hey, we will have an ostentatious ballroom that looks like Liberace vomited on it.

Layoffs rise to recession-like levels through October, new report says Layoffs are rising to recession-like levels, with U.S. employers announcing 1.1 million job cuts so far this year, according to a report from Challenger, Gray & Christmas.

Donald Trump is destroying the economy. But at least he has a shiny new ballroom paid for by all the rich people he’s making richer with his kleptocracy.

Trump Destroys The People's House
YouTube video by The Seneca Project Trump Destroys The People's House

πŸ”₯NEW VIDEO: For over 200 years, history has been made within these walls β€” laws signed, wars ended, lives changed.

But The White House, doesn’t belong to him. It’s not his palace.
It belongs to the people.

America, stop him before he destroys everything in his path.

@jodipicoult.bsky.social I live near Gas City and Marion (they are in the same county) and heard this today. 🀞🏼

The Marion Community Schools Board has offered the Ritchie Walton Performing Arts Center as a potential venue

Trump and Republicans just passed a tax cut that will gift $100B annually to the richest 1%.

$100B could fund SNAP for a year.

It's not a matter of what this country can or can't afford. It's about priorities.

People are starting to understand this.

Maybe white adults should go door to door on Halloween and give children candy. Keep our children safe. Leave them alone Kristi Noem and CBP

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.

That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.

Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

I can answer for him - big emphatic NO he had no self respect. Maybe he should look for it as he’s on his knees.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 85th day out of the last 97.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

American parents, please ignore Trump’s recent reiteration of nonsense about Tylenol and vaccines, as well as anything the man ever says about the health of your children. Please talk with your medical professionals.
