CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1

CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1

Trickle-down economics was always a sham.

Nothing has ever trickled down.

Ezra Klein's take is just mind-boggingly bad.

No, Charlie Kirk was not practicing politics the right way

His assassination deserves full condemnation; his full impact should not be sidestepped.

There has been a rush among centrists like Gavin Newsom and Ezra Klein to brush over the hateful life of Charlie Kirk and valorize the man.

Let me be clear, killing Charlie Kirk was wrong and abhorrent.

We must condemn murder without sanitizing a man who built his empire on hate.

My latest piece.

We Must Not Posthumously Sanitize Charlie Kirk's Hateful Life

Influential anti-LGBTQ+ activist Charlie Kirk was assassinated on Wednesday. While condemning violence is something most can get behind, sanitization of his hate has gone too far.

Do not try to tell me about individuals when I’m talking to you about systems.

I see your disingenuous attempt to let the status quo continue as is without engaging with the larger moral implications of this moment.

Nope.

@mswl.bsky.social is this the right place? Not seeing any posts here.

But, did you know that there was a time not yet even 100 years ago when the US president signed an executive order to round up and incarcerate US citizens based on race? I have a YA ms about it. Anyone interested?

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations.

If you're 45, that number is 74.7%.

If you're under 28, the number is 100%.

Happy Labor Day.

Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare.

Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed.

Getting big money out of politics.

Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages.

If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.

MOCKING PEOPLE'S APPEARANCE ISN'T HOW YOU BUILD A MORE JUST WORLD

MOCKING ABILITY OR HEALTH MOST *CERTAINTLY* ISN'T

how many times must we cover this

yes this includes "chosen" things like self-tanner FFS it doesn't matter

people's SPEECH & ACTIONS are what matter

Training a dog means every tiny little moment of progress is a huge win. And I mean tiny, like he listened on the first try. Or he walked through a busy urban area without mishap. Or he looked to me for guidance on what to do. Metaphor for so many things

Just because he says it, doesn't mean you have to do it. He's a government administrator, not a king. His word is not law.
