Robert Reich may sounds like a progressive for calling corruption in the fascist GOP.

He’s no progressive when he never calls out Biden for being beholden to the rich bastards and corporate interests or corruption in the Democratic Party.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.

Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.

The list goes on and on.

Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

A general strike won’t mean anything if there isn’t a demand for political change and accountability for decades of neoliberal policies that made fascism possible.

Amid a fragile ceasefire, doctors and humanitarian workers are urging that efforts be focused on addressing Gaza's malnutrition crisis, noting that simply flooding the zone with aid won't make a meaningful dent.

Doesn’t even bother to earn people’s votes.

Liberals don’t get to decide if the Democratic Party should continue to exist when it’s up to the younger generations of voters to decide if the Democratic Party should continue to exist.

There’s a reality that liberals refuse to accept. Bringing up Russia like a broken record doesn’t make the Green Party go away. The only thing left for liberal is fear mongering and voter shaming. The Democratic Party can’t win on issues that resonate with voters anymore.

The entire world was ready to reduce shipping emissions. Then Trump stepped in.

After the Trump administration threatened countries with tariffs and visa restrictions, a first-ever global carbon tax is left to an uncertain future.

Elon Musk is on track to receiving a $1 TRILLION pay plan.

If this plan is approved, he'd make almost $100 BILLION annually.

That's 1.6 MILLION times the median American salary.

We're urging Tesla shareholders to vote against this new pay package.

Target doesn’t care about diversity and they don’t care about their workers. Target Corporation donated $1,000,000 to President Trump in January and this is the result - an economy of bigotry.

If you work at Target, organize. If you shop at Target, stop.

Workers deserve to be valued.

Target will lay off 1,000 corporate employees and close 800 open roles — affecting roughly 8% of its global corporate workforce — the company said. https://cnn.it/47EQBXB

“We heard multiple stories of women losing their pregnancies in detention and suffering from the lack of proper medical care. Those stories, I think, really are some of the most chilling stories I’ve heard about detention.”
Pregnant women describe miscarrying and bleeding out while in ICE custody, advocates say
The ACLU and other groups are pressing for ICE to identify and release all pregnant women in custody and to stop detaining anyone known to be pregnant, postpartum or nursing.
