Whether you are on the Left, Right, or Center, Free Speech Isn't a Punchline.
Ask yourself:
Do you want to live in a country where you are afraid to say what you believe?
Where your children or grandchildren never know how to speak their truths, because those with power fear their voice?

Wages of unionized workers are 13% higher than their nonunion counterparts.
But unions also set a higher pay standard that all workers enjoy.
In high-union-density states, median household income is $12,000 higher than in low-union-density states.
This is why unions are vital.

This quote from Mark Twain rings true under this Administration: “One will not hire a blacksmith who never lifted a sledge” nor “hire a schoolteacher who does not know the alphabet…but when you come to our civil service, we serenely fill great numbers of our minor public offices with ignoramuses.”

I thought the settlements were stupid and a bad move for so many reasons, and I didn’t even consider the criminal aspect.
Big Law firms that cut deals with Trump made a big blunder

Our problem: too many value uniformity over inclusion and they’re the ones running the government.

Leadership is as much about HOW one achieves results as the results themselves. If Trump believes these “reforms” will “make America great,” then influence enough people to take actions within our Constitutional framework. He can’t, which is why he’s taking unilateral and illegal action.
