America's 100 highest-paid CEOs median pay hit $39.4 million last year, up 35.8% in twelve months. Workers got 3.6%. They took home 10x the pay increase and blamed higher wages for higher prices? Whose wages? Not ours, that's for damn sure.

Over 2,000 Contra Costa County workers just voted over 90% to authorize a strike after the county stalled negotiations and let their contract expire. When public employers drag their feet, organized workers remind them who keeps the county running.

Inflation isn't the only problem. Half of working Americans earn under $25 an hour. When $25 is the actual floor for a basic living wage and half of us can't hit it, stop telling people to budget harder. You can't budget yourself out of a broken system.

"Anyone who believes exponential growth can go on forever in a finite world is either a madman or an economist."

Day job, gig job, trying to stay healthy, trying to figure ourselves out.. all while juggling school (and trying not to think about these loans ☠️) Meanwhile things keep getting more expensive, and greedy CEOs are trying to replace us with AI. We've gotta come together and fight for what's ours!

When was the last time you were given an 18% raise? Plane Train workers at Atlanta’s airport just secured that well deserved lift with their first ever union contract! Proof that if you want decent pay, you don't wait for management to feel generous. You organize and take it.

A bleak new milestone for the US: ever since Trump’s "Beautiful Bill," 1.5 million kids have been thrown off food assistance. Kids going hungry in the richest country on Earth, while billions go to bombs and trillion-dollar tax cuts. Is this what we call beautiful now? Really?

Brooklyn public defenders secured a tentative deal after a six-day strike. Management suddenly remembered they had a budget the moment the staff walked out. The best cure for stonewalling is a picket line.

SNAP and Medicaid are actively being used as federal wage subsidies for America's lowest-paying mega-corps. Amazon's food stamp reliance TRIPLED in five years. Apparently welfare is only bad when it helps families, not when it subsidizes trillion-dollar payrolls.

Rent is skyrocketing, gas is $4+, and voting rights are being gutted. But good news: Washington just found another $72B for war! Turns out the only way to get federal aid is to legally identify as a Raytheon missile.

Healthcare execs pull record profits while nurses fight for patient safety and living wages. Call me “revolutionary” but medicine should support actual healers. Unless they updated the Hippocratic oath to: "First, do no harm to private equity margins."

Grocery prices have risen nearly 3% in the past year and are up 32% from pre-pandemic levels. You know what hasn't risen 32%? Our pay. Real sustainable system we have here.

You can’t have record profits while also using inflation to justify record prices. That’s not how any of this works.

Every economic report points to the same root problem. Prices aren't high because workers got a raise. Prices are high because corporate monopolies refuse to trim their margins. Instead, they trim their workforce and keep raising prices. Greedflation is a policy choice.

$1.2 TRILLION a year is being stolen from working class pockets and handed to CEOs and shareholders simply because the unionization rate was eroded by union-busting laws and anti-worker propaganda. Organizing workers is the best way to take our power back!

British Petroleum pulls in tens of billions in profits, yet they've spent the last 4 months locking out 800 workers in Indiana because workers refuse to give up their fundamental bargaining rights. Solidarity with USW Local 7-1! ✊

Mount Nittany Medical workers demanded 5.75% to keep up with rent and gas. Managements final offer? Just 3%. On Monday, 950 nurses, techs, and staff will walk out. Workers shouldn't have to fight this hard to pay rent. Anything below inflation is a pay cut and a slap in the face.

shareholders when they hear everyone is unionizing and they are powerless to stop it

NEW UNION ALERT: Wiki Workers in the US are organizing! They have given the Wikimedia Foundation until Friday to voluntarily recognize them as a collective bargaining unit.

60% of companies admitted they blame layoffs on AI when the real reason is they just want to cut costs. A study of 350 major companies confirmed AI layoffs don't improve the company's bottom line. They're just union-busting the workforce down to nothing and calling it progress.
