People who think Emmett Till was ancient history should be reminded that 18 current members of Congress are older than him and the white woman Carolyn Bryant who falsely accused him is still alive & is on FB
It’s not ancient history. It’s contemporary reality.

Workers aren't "quiet quitting." They're refusing to be exploited for their labor. And they're flexing their muscles for the first time in decades.
Rest assured: When you pay people what they're worth, they'll want to work for you.
I so would have loved you as my intro to econ professor!
So how do the ultra-rich justify their wealth and their low tax rates? By using three myths. All are utter rubbish. robertreich.substack.com/p/t…

You know what is better than a tax donation, Universal Basic Income! So since DeSantis called for preference of direct money donations does this mean DeSantis is now in favor of UBI???

Should Clarence Thomas face the same level of interrogation and humiliation in front of the January 6 committee that Anita Hill had to face in his confirmation?

Money is freedom. So when you have tiny number of people (the 1%) with most of the money, the resources, & the freedom, the only way they can continue to rule over such an expansive group of people — the bottom 80 to 90% of the country — is to have us all HATE each other.

I know there is a lot going on, but Ginni Thomas, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, was directly involved in efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
Just thought I should remind everyone of that.

Your weekly reminder that raising interest rates is a huge mistake.
The Fed assumes inflation is being driven by wage increases. But wage growth has lagged behind inflation.
You know what’s a real driver of inflation? Monopolistic corporations hiking prices to maximize profits.

Politically driven GoFundMe scams are spreading like wildfire. State AGs need to put these scammers in the slammer.

The rich can literally claim tax deductions for owning a yacht, but conservatives have the nerve to call $10,000 student debt forgiveness a handout?

94% of teachers have had to dip into their own pockets to buy school supplies...at a time when the average Wall Street employee bonus for 2021 hit a high of $257,500.
Is there a “teacher shortage,” or a shortage of jobs that treat educators with the dignity and pay they deserve?

Here's why they failed: Hundreds of thousands of invalid signatures. 43k were duplicates. This is what you get when you have to use paid signature gatherers because your cause is deeply unpopular with the public. Hope these reactionaries enjoyed setting their money on fire.
