Corporate profits are at their highest rate in more than 70 years.Corporations are jacking up prices, blaming inflation, and padding their margins.Do you think the GOP is going to do anything about this? (Of course not.)They'll be too busy handing out tax cuts for the rich.

The election deniers, the monied interests, and the bigots wouldn't be suppressing votes and spreading blatant lies if they weren't terrified of our collective power.

America still has a long way to go. But it is far better and stronger now — more inclusive, more diverse, more dynamic — than it has ever been. It will be ever better and stronger years from now.And that scares the hell out of them.

By 2028, Millennials & Gen Z will dominate U.S. elections. This is why the GOP is pulling out all the stops to entrench their power. They know they don't stand a chance against a multi-racial, progressive generation of young people that will make their backwards ideas irrelevant.

RT @ThePlumLineGS@twitter.comDon't overlook this: At least 4 of the 5 swing states that decided 2020 won't have election-denying governors or secretaries of state. It may soon be 5. That's a huge step toward averting a 2024 crisis. Voters put MAGA authoritarianism on the defensive.https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/11/09/gop-loss-midterms-kevin-mccarthy-trump-kari-lake/🐦🔗: https://twitter.com/ThePlumLineGS/status/1590406338131070982

Contrast Kari Lake's feculence on Tuesday — assailing the "cheaters and crooks” whom she claimed were running elections — with Tim Ryan’s graceful concession speech, and you'll see that the real battle in America isn't right v left, it's neofascism versus democracy.

The hallmarks of the neofascist party are its cruel nastiness and unwillingness to abide by election results. In other words: Trumpism. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/saved-from-trumpism?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email#details

Alex Jones was just ordered to pay $473 million to the families of Sandy Hook victims, after he spent years calling the tragedy a hoax. This comes on top of the $1 BILLION he already owed.Defamation law is proving to be a vital weapon in the fight against right-wing media lies.

61% of voters younger than 45 backed John Fetterman.In MI, the early youth vote was up 207% from 2018. In PA, up 318%. In WI, up 360%.The aspect of the midterms that gives me most hope for the future is the growing ranks of young people in our politics.https://robertreich.substack.com/to-me-the-most-encouraging-thing

- Fetterman flipped Pennsylvania with a pro-worker platform- Nebraska raised the minimum wage- 4 states banned forced prison labor- D.C. abolished the sub-minimum tipped wage- Illinois guaranteed the right to collective bargainingThe midterms were HUGE for worker power.
