Feminist. She/her. Philadelphian by birth. Living in Delaware for now. I investigate cases of catastrophic injury and death of working people. No one should have to give up their life for their livelihood.

One measure of the quality of a country is how it treats those who do its work.

This Labor Day think about how worker safety protections - regulations written in the blood of killed and injured workers over many decades - are targeted for elimination by the agencies entrusted to enforce them.

I like how they are carrying American flags, but not attacking police with them.

There WILL be liberation. It's inevitable. And it might not be tomorrow, or next year, or the next decade. But that better world is coming, and every tiny act of kindness and solidarity you show another human being brings it that much closer.

I don't think so.
Some of us are terrified of misidentifying public speaking infrastructure - there seems to be no way not to be "caught".

Q: What's your message to the 170 US citizens who have been detained by ICE? About 20 of them are children

MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know what you're talking about with the children. I haven't seen that so I'm not going to comment on it.

As long as we don't think about all the people who lost jobs for tweeting, "hey, this Charlie Kirk guy seems to have been a racist?"

He means the right to express how great our orange leader is. Other than that, he doesn't support free speech at all.

One of those "silly" government programs is OSHA. The program that attempt to guarantee workers in this country don't die needlessly doing work to make rich people richer.
