As Trump guts workplace safety, rolls back worker protections, and empowers corporations to exploit workers, unions have never been more crucial.

Congratulations to these workers for winning their union. In these dark times, we can always find hope in the labor movement.

Worker power in action! Let's get it!💜

Trump is using our tax dollars to buy Argentine pesos to bail out the country's failing libertarian economy.

My friend Rohit Chopra explains how this will hurt struggling Americans here at home.

I know Trump and his minions all have sneering contempt for kids with special needs, but trust me when I say that their parents will absolutely fucking destroy anyone who messes with the special education supports to which they are entitled by law.

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

My MAGA coworker who always loved Trump just lost a ton of money on a stock today right after Trump posted a China Trade tariff threat

He couldn’t access his account to sell right away and he lost 12k when he eventually could

He is officially done supporting Trump

Crazy it took this long

The shameless GOP lying about the No Kings gatherings scheduled for next Saturday reveals how deeply hostile much of the Republican Party is to “the right of the people peaceably to assemble.” I look forward to our local No Kings event, and urge my fellow Americans to attend in their communities.

Whe. People have had a stroke. They often recover much of the motor function when they are doing well. When there is a new stress on the system, line sleep deprivation or an infection. The old deficits come out again. Called, Recrudescence. Looks like this.

There is no single armed radical group officially or exclusively called “Antifa” in the United States; instead, Antifa refers to a decentralized, leaderless movement of individuals and autonomous groups that oppose fascism, racism, and far-right ideologies, sometimes through militant tactics.

Everytime I watch MSM, It's like watching a hostage video.

Am I the only one seeing this?

With the exception of @maddow & @Lawrence and other @MSNBC pundits, every other news outlet is afraid to call out Trump's BS.

I don't think people are being alarmist when they say the current regime is setting up the legal rhetoric to kill you if they want to. The fact that Antifa isn't really an organization means that they can label anyone as Antifa. Declaring Antifa as terrorists means they can call anyone a terrorist.

People have no idea of the dangers of the firings at the CDC.

The people who work there care about your health.

We are at risk, because the republicans refused to TALK.

Americans are struggling with
a government shutdown
high prices
layoffs
a chaotic administration

and Trump is planning to build a triumphal arch and just bailed out Argentina with $20 BILLION DOLLARS.

Press pool: “On Trump’s desk in the Oval Office today was a plan for a triumphal arch on the other side of the river from the Lincoln Memorial”

Military families literally waiting on long lines at food pantries.

Meanwhile, Mike Johnson won’t reconvene the House to save their troops’ paychecks, Senate GOP won’t stop huge health care premium increases, and Trump is gleefully firing 1000s of workers.

The GOP is cruel, through and through.

When Republicans are pre-butting a pro-democracy rally like No Kings and making shit up left and right to scare people, you know they're losing and in panic mode.

ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents.

Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.

He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.

If Covid was a hoax, why the fuck did Trump get the vaccine today?

And why go to Walter Reed to get it when he has a full medical staff at The White House?
