Big Tech CEOs want to suck up the water you drink, pollute the air you breathe, and raise your electricity bill — while they get even richer. But all across America, the people are fighting back against data centers.
Who's paying for Trump's MAGA-fied Freedom 250 festivities? Major corporate donors include Lockheed Martin, ExxonMobil, and Palantir. And YOU — the taxpayer!
The Founding Fathers' list of grievances against King George III was spot on. Remind you of anyone?
The Declaration of Independence had this to say about tyrants. It still feels relevant today.
Four airlines dominate 80 percent of the market. That market power allows them to squeeze lower-income customers — sometimes literally — while catering solely to their richest customers. With Spirit Airlines gone for good, the problem is only going to get worse. Watch.
When @rbreich.bsky.social became the first gubernatorial candidate to support marriage equality in 2002, the vast majority of Americans disagreed with him. Today, nearly 70% support it.
Defense companies with close ties to Don Jr. and Eric Trump have received lucrative new Pentagon contracts under the Trump administration. Coincidence — or corruption?
This anti-war PSA that aired during the Vietnam War. Its message is sadly still very relevant today.
Trump's war with Iran, like so many other U.S.-backed coups and regime change wars, could lead to disastrous blowback. Watch Bernie Sanders' warning from 2016.
In one of the final speeches of his life, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. called for America to muster the political will to end poverty.
Zohran Mamdani and Bernie Sanders joined striking Starbucks United workers in New York. Listen to their powerful message of solidarity.
Elon Musk’s new pay package could amount to $100B per year ($1 trillion over ten years!). That's the same as 3.2 million cashiers’ paychecks combined. It’s more than 1.4 million elementary school teachers’ paychecks. It’s more than 2 million janitors’ paychecks. The system is broken.
Zohran Mamdani has called for a boycott of Starbucks until the company can bargain a fair contract with its striking workers. We joined members of the mayor-elect's team on the Starbucks picket line in NYC.
Today is Robert Reich's favorite holiday — National Voter Registration Day! nationalvoterregistrationday.org
Remember when all Trump talked about was how he would make groceries cheaper?
Remember this the next time the undocumented are called "freeloaders." [Via @_itep]
Our latest video features the one and only Lina Khan, a true public servant and the oligarchy's worst nightmare!
"We seek not just equality as a right and a theory, but equality as a fact and equality as a result." 60 years ago today, LBJ explained what freedom really means.
“You let one ant stand up to us, then they all might stand up.” The movie ‘A Bug’s Life’ has a lot to teach us about power.
81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.
Trump wants the rich to be richer, unions to be weaker, and everyone else to be easier to exploit. He's not ushering in a New Golden Age. He's taking us back to the Gilded Age.
Our rigged system in a nutshell. When the rich become richer, they can use their vast wealth to pour money into our democracy and rig the system to enrich themselves even more. We must get Big Money out of politics.
The three decades after WWII ushered in levels of widely shared prosperity the US had never seen. Things weren't perfect, but we seemed to understand the importance of unions and that the real "job creators" are Americans workers whose rising wages generated economic growth.
The 19 richest U.S. households saw a $1 trillion wealth increase in 2024, a rise that exceeds the size of Switzerland’s economy. These 19 households now control $2.6 trillion in wealth — almost as much wealth as the bottom 50% of American households. If this isn't an oligarchy, what is?
Gutting the IRS isn't “efficiency." It’s helping billionaires evade taxes, pure and simple.
"We now have the techniques and the resources to get rid of poverty. The real question is whether we have the will." — Martin Luther King Jr., March 31, 1968
