Since last year, Amazon's profits are up 53 percent. Its stock price is up 65 percent. Jeff Bezos' personal wealth is up by more than $70,000,000,000.
Meanwhile, Amazon workers' pay is up just $0.95 per hour.
This is why we need unions.

Only in America do we call working people ‘essential’ but deny them sick leave, health care and hazard pay.
American taxpayers spend $107,575,000,000 more on police than public housing.

The richest 1% own half of the stock market.
The bottom 50% own 0.7% of it.

When this miserable pandemic is finally over, let's not forget that essential workers are *always* essential.
American workers keep the country going, not billionaires.
It's time we afford them the wages, benefits, and respect they deserve.

Your reminder that Trump's “Official Election Defense Fund” — which is nothing more than a political slush fund for when he leaves office — has raised a staggering $170,000,000 since Election Day.
A shameless grifter to the bitter end.

BREAKING: More than 600,000 Georgians have requested their mail ballots for the January 5 runoff elections.

This is no joke. It's not a smarmy comment. It's the unvarnished truth: Tens of millions of Americans are now on the brink of hunger and homelessness. Mitch McConnell and the do-nothing GOP must act. Now.
Only in America do we call working people ‘essential’ but deny them sick leave, health care and hazard pay.
Elon Musk became the second-richest person in the world after illegally threatening to take away stock options if employees unionized and firing staff after telling them they could take unpaid time off.
I'll say it again: Musk is a modern-day robber baron.

Here's an idea: How about we close the tax loopholes that the DeVos family uses for their yachts to help fund tuition-free college?
What if activists aren’t PR firms for politicians & their demands are bc police budgets are exploding, community resources are shrinking to bankroll it, & ppl brought this up for ages but it wasn’t until they said “defund” that comfortable people started paying attn to brutality
How about instead of shafting educators we defund the police?
We spend $115,000,000,000 a year on an institution that perpetually terrorizes Black people, but force 94% of public school teachers to spend their own money on school supplies.

Your daily reminder that Mitch McConnell is the most morally bankrupt politician in modern American history.
Today Mitch McConnell nixed the Covid compromise.
How did we get to the point where one senator can single-handedly thwart assistance that's desperately needed by tens of millions of Americans in the worst public health crisis in a century and the worst economy since the 1930s?

Your reminder that Ron DeSantis beat Andrew Gillum by less than a percentage point in an election where more than 20% of voting-age Black Floridians couldn’t vote because of a past felony conviction.
Under @GovRonDeSantis, 1 in every 21 people in Florida have been infected by COVID-19.
Today, the state became the third to surpass 1 million cases and is closing in on 20,000 deaths, with 82 more fatalities reported today.

Millions of Americans are out of work, lining up at food banks, preparing to be evicted from their homes.
Yet Republicans in Congress continue to block a massive Covid stimulus package.

Let's get one thing straight: Returning to "normal" would be a terrible mistake.
Normal gave us Trump. We need to fundamentally alter course.

Internal emails sent to Amazon's Global Security Ops Center reveal that team members around the world receive updates on labor organizing activities at warehouses — including the date, time, location, the source who reported the action, and the number of participants at an event.
Amazon — headed by the richest man in the world — hired operatives from Pinkerton Detective Agency, best known for its union-busting work in the 19th century, to investigate labor organizing in European warehouses.
Jeff Bezos' unbridled greed never ceases to amaze me.

Republican officials who stood up to Trump are still being threatened by Trump allies.
On Sunday, Trump lawyer Joe DiGnova said Chris Krebs should be “taken out at dawn and shot” for claiming the election was secure.
I can’t overstate how dangerous this is.

Trump's own Attorney General now admits there was no voting fraud but Trump and his enablers are still claiming it. Why? (1) It's bringing in a boatload of money for Trump's "defense fund" (post-presidency slush fund). (2) Trump's hold over GOP requires it. (3) His ego needs it.
The question after January 20 is how many Senate and House Republicans will continue to bend to the conspiracy theories and hatefulness of Trumpism.
There is no reason to worry about the national debt when over 20 million are jobless, a third of small businesses are closed, and COVID is resurgent. This is exactly when government must spend.
Georgia needs @ReverendWarnock in the Senate. He's being attacked for standing for ideas that are the bedrocks of morality, says my friend @RevDrBarber.
My friend @ReverendWarnock is being attacked right now something terrible. He's being attacked, because he's a Gospel preacher who decided to run for the Senate on an agenda that says everybody ought to have healthcare & living wages, challenge racism, & lift the poor. pic.twitter.com/GdZxt5sRxQ
If we can cancel trillions in taxes for a handful of billionaires we can cancel student loan debt for 45 million students.
Bipartisan group of senators offer $908 billion stimulus compromise. Details likely include:
$300/week UI
$300B for PPP
$250B for state & local
Temporary liability shield
$50B for health/vaccine distribution
Nowhere near what is needed, but it's a step. washingtonpost.com/us-policy/2020…

Since Election Day, Trump has broke all fundraising records for his so-called "defense fund" -- $170,000,000 so far -- which is nothing but a political slush fund for him when he leaves office. The biggest con of the Don.
If America learns one thing from this miserable pandemic, please may it be that health care is a basic human right that must be guaranteed for all.
Every minute that McConnell delays relief, someone is dying from Covid.
Pay people to stay home to contain this virus. Now.

All 6 battleground states have now certified Biden won.
Official tally: Biden 306 electoral votes. Trump 232.
Yet Trump continues to claim the election was "stolen." And Senate and House Republicans remain silent in shameful complicity.

Amazon — richest firm in the US, headed by richest man in the world — exposes its warehouse workers to Covid without paid sick leave or hazard pay, and is anti-union.
I'm rooting for working people in its Bessemer, Alabama warehouse who just filed notice to hold union election.

There are few things more shameful than a $7.25 minimum wage not budging in over a decade while billionaires add $1,000,000,000,000 to their wealth during the course of a pandemic.
Walmart and Amazon halted hazard pay for their frontline workers during a pandemic after making a combined $30,000,000,000 in profits this year.

The only way to stop the GOP's voter suppression efforts is to strip them of their power. We can do that by winning the Georgia runoffs.
