“Netflix made a huge amount of profit this last quarter,” Fonda told a group of gathered reporters. “Have you seen the houses they live in? Have you seen the vacations they take? I don’t know about Netflix, but just in general.”

She continued, “Income inequality has never been greater since the Gilded Age. … And that’s why unions are so important. That’s why there’s a real rise in strikes and unionization in all different sectors. And what we’re fighting for here, it’s really for all the workers in all the sectors. We have to stand together and we have to make unions stronger.”

Heat Mirage. Oil on canvas. 40 x 70 cm. The Soviet apartment blocks, natural gas flares, and bold modern architecture of Baku seen through the heat distortion of the 'eternal flame’ of the Ateshgah. Baku is only possible because of the resources that fed those sacred fires, yet most Azerbaijanis don't feel they benefit from the oil and gas industry. The city is depicted as both an ancient premonition come to life and a mirage. Most of my pieces are for sale! Email me to arrange a purchase or commission: [email protected]

Across the [US], red states are poorer and have more teen mothers, more divorce, worse health, more obesity, more trauma-related deaths, more low-birth-weight babies, and lower school enrollment. On average, people in red states die five years earlier than people in blue states. Indeed, the gap in life expectancy between Louisiana (75.7) and Connecticut (80.8) is the same as that between the United States and Nicaragua. Red states suffer more in another highly important but little-known way, one that speaks to the very biological self-interest in health and life: industrial pollution.
