Forget quiet quitting—we need to talk about quiet fleecing. Workers are more productive than ever, but their pay hasn’t kept pace while top 1% wages have skyrocketed.

There’s no such thing as “voting blue to save democracy” because we don’t live in a democracy & we never have. We live in an oligarchy where both parties serve the rich & use our government to wage endless wars abroad. A vote for either party is a vote to preserve the oligarchy.

The latest prop from @RepKatiePorter—known for bringing whiteboards to Congress & grilling CEOs to shine a💡on corporate greed—is a gigantic EPI chart showing corporate profits are fueling inflation.
Bigger corporate profits account for *over half* of the higher prices people are paying.

Enough of this nonsense about the Democrats “protecting democracy.” A party that kicks third parties off the ballot & suppresses the people from having more choices on election day is not protecting democracy. They are preserving the oligarchy & protecting their wealthy donors.

Do you think you can’t vote? The truth is people: on parole, on probation, or in jail can vote in the state of Maryland. Check out our website to learn more: aclu-md.org/vote #KnowYourRights #MDpolitics
Policies encouraging unionization do more than just give workers a voice—they can also combat income inequality. The steady decline in union membership since 1979 came with growing income inequality. epi.org/publication/unions-h…

Dear Joe Biden supporters, This ain't it. Making fun of people who don't have dental coverage is a disgusting take which lacks any class consciousness. You know what would fix this? #MedicareForAll but Biden doesn't support it. What an elitist A-hole meme.

As Democrats continue to gaslight the public about their ‘big win’ here is what Brett Hartl, the director of the Center for Biological Diversity, is saying: “This is a climate suicide pact. It’s self-defeating to handcuff renewable energy to massive new oil and gas extraction.”

Giving Big Oil 600 million acres of public land and water to drill on over the next 10 years is nothing to celebrate.
And while I plan to sign the Inflation Reduction Act into law next week, on September 6th we will hold a celebration at the White House in honor of this historic legislation.

Watching Democrats and their loyalists claim victory over a bill that is a massive giveaway to the Big Oil companies only reaffirms why I voted Green in 2020 and left the “Democratic” party for good.

They have paid their fair share, Kamala! They gave plenty to you and every other corrupt politician. The DNC has gotten a hefty chunk of that too.
The wealthiest corporations are finally going to pay their fair share under the Inflation Reduction Act.

In my view, if we are going to make our planet healthy and habitable, we should not give BILLIONS of dollars in new tax breaks to the very same companies that are currently destroying the planet.
