Let me get this straight: Every single federal judge in every single jurisdiction in the U.S. is subject to a binding code of ethics — except Supreme Court justices. Hello?

If the past few years have taught us anything, it's that:
1) Poverty is a policy choice.
2) Workers keep America going, not billionaires.
3) Corporate profits don't trickle down.
4) Health care is a human right.
The time to act on these issues is now.

Today’s Republican Party, while claiming to stand for limited government, stands for government intrusion everywhere. They are:
-Outlawing abortions.
-Prohibiting teachers from teaching about America’s racist past.
-Making it harder to vote.
This is not limited government.

The income cap on Social Security taxes is rigged for the rich.
A CEO earning $20 million a year pays Social Security taxes on ~1% of their income
Meanwhile, a normal worker earning under the cap pays Social Security taxes on 100% of their income.
How does that make any sense?

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.
Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.
Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.
It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.
It’s about priorities.

Amazon apparently wanted to make it harder to cancel Prime.
So they allegedly added a complex cancellation process to confuse consumers.
Now the FTC is suing Amazon for scamming millions.
Good.
This is what it looks like when government works on behalf of the people.

In today's Wealth & Poverty class, we'll explore inequalities in education.
Many of us believe we know a great deal about education because we’ve been through it. My goal this week is to get you to rethink your assumptions, and go deeper. https://bit.ly/3Xx9kOg

Beyond affirmative action: The shame of education and widening inequality — Class 13
Yesterday, the Supreme Court struck down racial and ethnic preferences in college admissions. Yet colleges can continue to give preference to “legacies?” Since non-white students were barred from most colleges for more than 200 years, legacy students are by definition most likely white.

Students getting relief from onerous debt is unconstitutional.
But justices secretly getting hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars in gifts, vacations, and free housing and education for their family members is just fine.

Stop worshipping billionaires.
Elon Musk threw away tens of billions of dollars to buy Twitter, and has spent the last year running it into the ground.
When billionaires take control of our most vital platforms for communication, it’s not a win for free speech.
It’s a win for oligarchy.

It's been a year since the Uvalde school shooting, and guns are still the leading cause of death for children in America.
But the GOP would rather ban books, pride flags, and trans kids playing sports than ban a single assault rifle.
It’s ‘woke’ bans over children’s lives.

Corporations are now using the “labor shortage” as an excuse to bring back child labor. It’s part of a horrifying trend: Since 2015, child labor violations have risen nearly 300%.
Major companies like General Mills, Walmart, and McDonald’s have all been implicated.
