Not many things in life will have you pumping your fist in the air, but watching little Tommy Robinson’s (Stephen Yaxley-Lennon’s) face and bravado drop when he gets called out for his racism and hypocrisy by boxer Ty Mitchell is one of them.

This is glorious. 🔥

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.

As history moves in circles, every time followed by a counter time & every period of hate by one of kindness & reconciliation, I remain convinced we'll move out of the storm to enter kinder, calmer waters.

No, we're don't learn from history, but we do learn from our own experience.

Trump was at his West Palm Beach golf course when the National Guard shooting took place.

Trump has already spent $70 million of taxpayer money on golfing in less than a year as president.

If this pace keeps up, he will spend $300 million playing golf by the time his second term ends.

Amazing the world’s 5th largest economy (California) increased its GDP (81% up) and cut its GHG emissions (21% cut) since 2000, BUT not a single major news outlet covered the story? Obviously the fossil fuel industry and its sycophants don’t want the world to know.

Was there any coverage of the recent record warmth in both the Arctic and Antarctic? Multiple global datasets now confirm these records, and I think it's really quite striking.

Here's some very quick plots showing NOAAGlobalTempv6 data from October too. And see my earlier posts.
