Your Black Friday reminder that in 75% of U.S. industries, a smaller number of companies now control more of the business than they did twenty years ago. We must stop the monopolization of America. Shop small if you can, please.

DC is volatile right now. Keep at least ten feet between you and any federal agents, including Park Police. If they tell you to step back, do it. Don’t let them close the gap. Stay with a buddy and check in and out with friends. ❤️

Today, many of us are fortunate enough to share a Thanksgiving dinner with our loved ones. Despite all the darkness and fear around us, our loved ones and the community around us give us sustenance and strength. Some thoughts... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/what-im-thankful-for

And how exactly will Trump “cure cancer” without science and medical research funding?

As we gather with friends and family to reflect, here’s what I’m grateful for — and why I fight for it every day.

A mask is an admission. If their work were righteous, their faces would be plain for all to see. Instead they slip through streets like thieves praying the neighborhood stays asleep. Refuse that. Gather. Witness. Make every block a place where concealed power suffocates in its own darkness.

USAID used to keep the country safer by tackling crises before they spread. Its health and relief work cost less than one percent of the budget yet gave the United States real moral credibility. Once it was shut down, the vacuum let adversaries like Russia and China step in.

All benefits are entitlements.
All benefits are 100% valid for anyone who qualifies.
Whether it be disability benefits, UC, out of work benefits, child benefit, State Pension, Carers Allowance, or anything else.
End the benefits stigma. We will all claim benefits in our lives.

This Thanksgiving carries weight. People who served with care were forced to rebuild from nothing. Still their work lives on. Still their service matters. Remember that today. 🦃🌾🍁❤️

About 40% of SNAP recipients are children. Around half of ALL children in the country are covered by Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program.
And the so-called “party of family values” gutted both programs by billions of dollars.
Doesn’t sound very pro-family to me.

Violence has no place in America. Michelle and I are praying for the servicemembers shot in Washington, DC today, and send our love to their families as they enter this holiday season under the most tragic of circumstances.

"In the solitude of a book, we find ourselves a little more willing to be vulnerable to having our mindset challenged." - Nick Raines
The main difference between people who want to ban books and me:
They would feel threatened by that quote.
I feel *energized* by it.

Three babies in Kentucky have died of whooping cough.
They weren’t vaccinated and neither were their mothers.
This is RFK Jr’s legacy. A trail of dead kids who never had a chance.
They didn’t get to decide about vaccination. Adults chose for them & they paid with their life.

You cannot have a functioning economy when so few people at the top hold so much of the nation’s wealth. It’s not sustainable.

This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat
We must get big money out of politics.
It is the root of our dysfunction.

Zohran Mamdani has called for a boycott of Starbucks until the company can bargain a fair contract with its striking workers. We joined members of the mayor-elect's team on the Starbucks picket line in NYC.

6 people have died from a nationwide listeria outbreak.
31 babies have been hospitalized with botulism from contaminated baby formula.
Instead of firing crucial FDA employees & attacking the agency, Trump should be hiring more experts to crack down on these dangerous outbreaks.
