On #TransDayOfVisibility , let's have more visibility of who's behind the anti-trans movement.
Groups like Alliance Defending Freedom are waging a multimillion-dollar campaign cruelly targeting trans people.
These groups don't care about freedom — they just want to spread hate.

According to multiple reports, a Manhattan grand jury has voted to indict Donald Trump. This moment should serve as a powerful reminder that no one is above the law. Not even a former president.

The grand jury has decided. Now America must decide whether we’re a nation bound by the rule of law.

96% of the highest-paid workers in the US have paid sick days.
Just 38% of the lowest-paid workers get them.
Only in America do we call working people ‘essential’ but deny them paid sick leave.

Moderna is planning to charge $130 for its COVID vaccine, but the vaccine only costs ~$3 to make.
Meanwhile, over the last two years, the company made over $19 billion in profits off the vaccine.
Textbook corporate greed.

Once again, interest rate hikes are going to fall hardest on low-wage workers and the poor — the same people who have already been hurt the most by rising prices.
Higher rates could also imperil more banks, and risk even more financial chaos.
The Fed is playing with fire.

The number of minors employed in violation of child labor laws increased 37% in the last year.
Remarkably, this year, legislators in 6 states (IA, MN, MO, NE, OH, SD) have proposed 8 bills that make it easier to exploit kids for profit.
We live in the Second Gilded Age.

Don't be distracted. The big story isn't "woke capitalism." It's crony capitalism that allows the wealthy and corporations to roll back laws to line their own pockets.

This vast consolidation of wealth and power at the top has not been due to neutral market forces.
The “free market” does not exist.
It is designed.
It either advances public purposes or it serves the monied interests.

Non-competes are a trap.
They block workers from seeking out higher wages or better conditions.
Meanwhile, they sabotage the economy by depriving growing businesses of needed talent.
They serve one thing only: corporate monopolies who want to kill off their competition.

The Trump-era rollback of banking regulations was a big mistake.
The proof? Silicon Valley Bank's implosion.
The least Congress can do now is help prevent this type of meltdown from happening again by restoring Dodd-Frank regulations for all banks — regardless of their size.

Why is it that when progressive policies that help the bottom 90 percent are proposed, the question always seems to be, "How will you pay for it?"
But when the top 1 percent ask for bailouts, tax cuts, and subsidies, the question always seems to be, "How much do you need?"

Will the failure of Silicon Valley Bank be as contagious as the failures of 2008, leading to other bank failures as depositors grow nervous about their safety? It’s impossible to know. The speed with which regulators moved over the weekend suggests they’re concerned.

We're in the Second Gilded Age just like the first — when America's wealth was in the hands of a few, conspicuous consumption existed alongside homelessness and hunger, monopolies destroyed competition, big money corrupted politics, unions were busted, and wages were suppressed.

Reminder: Norfolk Southern cut 9,600 jobs and boosted shareholder payouts by 4,500% in the years leading up to its recent train derailments.
It's the same story. Big companies and their major shareholders enjoy larger profits, but average working people bear the costs and risks.

The ~$25 billion Kroger-Albertsons merger could affect grocery stores relied on by 85 million households. The company could jack up prices even higher and pay workers even less.

Why is healthcare so expensive in America?
In the past few years, some hospital CEOs have seen their salaries increase by as much as 700 percent. Yes, you read that correctly.
