These two crypto billionaire dorks have now spent $500k against my wife in her Assembly race in Marin and Sonoma Counties. We can't let them buy this seat.
Another $250k dumped into attack ads against me from Grow California. Nearly half a million dollars from crypto billionaires Chris Larsen and Tim Draper trying to buy Assembly District 12. Apparently they believe in “pay now or pay later” too.

Trillionaires shouldn't exist and neither should billioniares. Tax every penny in net worth over $999 million at 100%. We can have extreme wealth concentration or a democracy but we can't have both at the same time. Pick one.

A nazi becoming the first trillionaire off taxpayer subsidies mergers and apartheid mine inheritance isn't an anomaly. It's showing you what the system rewards. Capitalism is a death cult

You cannot afford healthcare. You cannot afford childcare. You cannot afford rent. You cannot afford groceries. You cannot afford gas. And your taxes paid for SpaceX making Elon Musk a trillionaire. But sure. Blame it on the single mom who gets $6.20 a day in Food Stamps.

If Bernie's 5% annual wealth tax on billionaires had been enacted in 2012, Elon Musk would be worth less than $365 billion instead of the $1.2 trillion that he's worth today. Elon would still be the wealthiest man alive & every family in America would have universal childcare.

Labor doing more to protect your rights than congress right now ✊
We sued the Trump administration today over a new Department of Labor rule aimed at draining union resources away from organizing and representing workers, a violation of federal law. We’ll see the administration in court. aflcio.org/press/releases/af…

A Daily Reminder: If Bernie's Social Security bill was enacted in 2021, Elon Musk would've paid $2.9 billion more in taxes, Social Security would be solvent for 75 years, benefits would be expanded by $2,400 and 91% of Americans would pay $0 more in taxes. Scrap the damn cap.
Social Security needs reform, but neither party is willing to take the lead on doing so. If we continue doing nothing, Social Security payouts will be cut automatically by 24% in 2032… That’s only two presidential elections away. 👉🏻 crfb.org/nostatespared

Ohio and @D4CWA leaders from @CWAUnion gathered in Washington for their Presidents’ Meeting and Legislative Conference. It is an honor to stand with the working men and women who keep America running. Through collective bargaining, people create positive change from their unity.

Today, we remember former UAW Region 1A Director Robert "Buddy" Battle, born on June 4, 1917. Robert "Buddy" Battle III was born in Detroit, the son of a cleanup crew supervisor for railroad cars. He went to work as a sand-slinger in the Ford Rouge plant foundry in 1936 and quickly became an organizer for the UAW. Beginning in the early 1940's, he was elected to a number of positions at UAW Local 600, including district and bargaining committee person, chairman of the special foundry unit, and local vice president, culminating in his election as Director of Region 1A in 1976. Recognizing the inhumane conditions of foundry labor, Battle helped establish the union's Foundry Wage and Hour Council in 1946, which fought for and won paid sick leave and a 25-and-out retirement for foundry workers. A skilled and aggressive negotiator at the bargaining table, he served on the UAW Ford national negotiating committee in 1967, 1970, and 1973. Battle worked to increase African American leadership in the UAW and, with Horace Sheffield and others, formed the Trade Union Leadership Council in the late 1940's, which became the nucleus of the national Negro American Labor Council. As TULC president, he oversaw the organization's pre-apprenticeship training program designed to help Black and other minority individuals enter the skilled trades. Buddy Battle was also active in Democratic Party politics as UAW CAP chairman in the 1st and 13th congressional districts of Detroit and, later, chairman of the 1st congressional district. He played a prominent role in the campaigns to elect Detroit's first black City Council member, William Patrick, and its first black mayor, Coleman Young. After he retired from the UAW in 1983, Brother Battle served as Young's executive assistant. He died on August 4, 1989, at the age of 72. 📸 @ReutherLibrary
