daunting, moving
I’ve never seen this before and it makes the hounding of them by the British tabloids even more grotesque

- Replying to @JHWeissmanngeez, he sold it. So, by definition the market validated the value. What's the problem?
- Wow, just wow. No abortions is a policy to create more workers and fund Social Security. Hope they run on that.Wow, this guy is going to have a hard time making the case that republicans can attract mainstream swingy voters
- Yeah, people are not abandoning work when they quit. They are taking other jobs. Quits being fueled by huge growth in job openings, partially due to Biden's ARP stimulus! Yes @EconBergerBig problem with the very popular "Great Resignation" term: it's misleading a lot of people about what is actually happening in the US. Quits are definitely extremely elevated, but so are hires. Folks aren't resigning from the workforce, they're resigning to take better jobs!
- Replying to @ShawnFainUAW @DemSocialists and @UAWsorry, but this stance means you do not support dismantling Hamas, an authoritarian, barbaric, entity.
- I have never heard any Democratic president be so forthcoming about the need for unions in last 60 years. Carter? Clinton? Obama? Or, any candidate, though ? imagine Humphrey and Mondale might have.
- Happy to announce my support for Elizabeth Warren, who I have worked with since 2005. Here's the list of new endorsers: act.boldprogressives.org/survey/2020_wa… #AllOfUs4Warren Don't @ me if you disagree. We can still be friends and comrades :) @AdamGreen
- Collective resignation from DSA, which I signed. Ending nearly 50 yrs membership in DSOC/NAM/DSA. The organization that previously was my political home. No more.
- yes, impressive.The US is the only leading economy where real household income (which accounts for inflation) and real GDP are higher than before the pandemic. Every country is struggling with supply chains and inflation but our economic response has let us weather it better than anyone else.
- Replying to @BenSpielbergyeah, much more fun to attack the D's for failing to get what they passed in March (and McConnell blocked) than to fault Trump and the GOP.
- Replying to @BenSpielbergSo disappointing. Cruel, and entitled, too, my friend. Many people will be hurt by Trump #2, and you haven't laid out how this path will lead to building the left. It may be emotionally satisfying. Not for me tho
- Yes, listen to Bernie!Sign the bill, President Trump.
00:00 - Thread: Erosion of collective bargaining has been a major factor depressing wage growth for middle & driving wage inequality over last 4 decades. Only factor more responsible- excessive unemployment from misguided monetary/fiscal policy. epi.org/publication/er… @EconomicPolicy
