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.
"The straw man being put forward is that it's either we have the military or we're going to get our throats cut at night in DC. Is there no middle ground? Do local law enforcement account for nothing? We've got the National Guard GARDENING right now in DC. Is that an efficient use of our resources?"
A Labor Day reminder: today there isn't a single city, metro area, or state in the U.S. where a full-time minimum-wage worker can afford a modest 2-bedroom apartment. Millions of people with jobs—even multiple jobs—aren't safe from homelessness in this country.

I'm enjoying not hearing his fucking voice or seeing his disgusting child raping face on my electronics. My Christmas lights are on standby, and my fireworks are waiting.
Just sayin’.
Illinois and New Mexico are leading, right now, in a big way. State and federal level politicians need to focus in on and emulate the leaders, tactics, and actions of those two states in particular.
Over 200 days and still no #TrumpEpsteinFiles released.
Statement from Trump about his good friend Rudy Giuliani who was injured in a serious car crash on Saturday:
Here in the US, “two weeks” actually means never.
If you’re enjoying a long Labor Day weekend, thank organized labor and consider that the GOP is neutering OSHA, putting kids to work, and rolling back paid sick leave as part of its multi-pronged, systematic attack on working people and the poor.
If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.
Imagine living your whole life to a point where millions of people speculate hopefully about your death. It almost makes me feel sorry for him. Almost…
In Australia, a woman is murdered every 4 days, by a man. By contrast, Jewish people killed in so-called* anti-semitic attacks in Australia - zero. Where's our Special Envoy to Combat Male Violence Against Women, @albomp.bsky.social ? *opposing genocide is not anti-semitic.
We are suing Texas in two cases -- one voting, one redistricting.

New in PN: "By the time you read this, the White House may have put out a Labor Day statement. It will no doubt offer an effusive tribute to Trump, who in his infinite beneficence has delivered workers a utopia of prosperity. But back on Earth, he's the most anti-labor president in modern history."
Daily Reminder: Social Security is OUR money!
Netflix just gave Gavin Newsom 2 million for the redistricting fight and made a deal with Sesame Street. New episodes will air there and the backlog of old episodes will Be free to watch. Netflix picked a side. I will keep my subscription.

MO Gov Mike Kehoe is calling a special session to gerrymander the 5th District which encompasses Kansas City. He is specifically violating Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, which bans any voting practice that denies or weakens the power of a racial minority to elect its preferred candidates.

On #LaborDay, we recognize the workers who make so much of our everyday lives possible. And every day, we should have American workers' back by supporting their organized efforts to secure higher wages, good benefits, and safe & dignified workplaces.
They should do it anyway for the environmental benefits.
If they enact a new illegal congressional map, Missouri will be sued.
The White House posts that the US has now taken in $8 Trillion in tariff revenue so far. Preposterous insane lies on an hourly basis.
I believe Katie and the rest of the victims.
Unions built this city and keep it running. They’ve fought against power and greed to make the impossible possible. Now, they need an ally in City Hall. On Labor Day, the presidents of the Hotel Trades Council, 32BJ and SEIU 1199 make the case at @cityandstateny.bsky.social.
Lying is like breathing to MAGA

THE PERPS SEEM TO HAVE MORE SAY THAN THE VICTIMS!
I'm still waiting for the relentless onslaught of media demands for a press conference and calls to resign.
Today we celebrate the strength and resilience of working people everywhere. Nearly 300,000 federal employees have lost their jobs this year not because of necessity, but because of a political agenda. And while people’s lives were destroyed in the name of “saving money,”
As we begin a new month, my law firm is litigation 51 voting and election cases in 25 states. 6 in Arizona 6 in Georgia 4 in Florida 4 in North Carolina 8 involve redistricting
If you enjoy… Weekends Safe working conditions Retirement benefits Paid vacations Breaks at work Sick leave Paid holidays … then you’re part of the labor movement. Happy Labor Day.
You guys see where this is going? Right?
Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare. Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics. Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages. If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.
Mr. "He-Likes-Them-Young" Trump can try to fire a Fed Governor but needs to look closer at his Republican Party of Family Values adulterer buddy.
Black women lost 319,000 jobs between February and July of this year, the only female demographic to experience significant job losses during Trump's America 2.0. By contrast, white men saw the largest increase at 365,000. #Trump #NotOnFoxNews #ItWillGetMuchWorse
I'm going on record. You don't cover up dead. He's not dead. However, he's sick as shit. That you can cover up for a bit. But just a bit. Mostly I hope he feels like absolute shit and is very scared of death. That I can work with.

Can the media STOP referring to Jeffrey Epstein as a “financier”? The money he made came from SEX TRAFFICKING MINORS, RAPING CHILDREN, and BLACKMAIL. He was NOT a financier. I’ve seen at least five stories from three outlets refer to him this way in the past week. This is the latest from the Times:
This is nothing else but a hybrid war that Russia wages against Europe Let's name things as they really are:Russia has made an assassination attempt of the President of the European Commission Russia has been jamming GPS-signals over many Eastern Europe countries that are in its immediate vicinity
About the weird DOJ Trump/Epstein interview: “It was a damage-control operation… not so much investigating Epstein and Maxwell’s crimes as attempting to exculpate President Donald Trump….“
This vile administration tried to deport children, in the middle of the night, to Guatemala. CHILDREN!
The press is the enemy
“Jobs disappear and the markets cheer.” On Labor Day 30 years ago, I issued a warning the growing divide between workers and the super-rich. Watch. youtu.be/8rW1kkAV-gw
QUACK! QUACK! Secretary of Health RFK Jr. said a paper that found no link between aluminum in vaccines and disease must be retracted. The journal refused. In an extraordinary move for a U.S. public official, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has demanded the retraction
If all the documents were released, all the records, all the interviews, if every shred of paper written on the Epstein sex trafficking operation were released tomorrow, there would still be horrific things we’ll never know. Think about that.
"Rudy Giuliani nursed an injured crow back to life with warm milk, then drove to a place not a liquor store, and then got in a car accident. After this, an unscrupulous stranger littered the backseat of his car with scores of emptied airline-size bottles of Gilbert’s vodka. Two may have been gin."

Fun fact: there are no palm trees at Trump National in Virginia.
Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.

POPE LEO: “Let us plead God to stop the pandemic of arms, large and small, which infects our world.” He prays for the victims in Minneapolis, and “the countless children killed and injured every day around the world”
This encapsulates the american voter, "I was not a fan of Mamdani at all, but as I got to know him more, I began to respect him and like him more,” said Shamsul Haque, the meeting’s organizer and a Bangladeshi American who spent 21 years in the department. People hating what they dont understand.
Science is real
An upcoming news conference with victims of Jeffrey Epstein could be “explosive,” one of the congressmen pushing for full release of the files on Epstein predicts. Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna said the victims’ accounts will force lawmakers to vote on a bill requiring DOJ to release its files.
It’s beyond ironic that the very people who demand a burka ban walk around dressed up.. like they’re wearing a really moronic, crap looking burka

Be there to witness and protect speech and assembly.
The United States is slipping from its place as a world leader. You can thank Trump for that.

Enjoy your Labor Day weekend....🌞💙
America’s unions have had much to celebrate on recent Labor Days. Not this year.
Our President keeps insisting prices are going to drop by 1400%, 1000%, or some other number that’s mathematically impossible. That he can’t do simple math isn’t the problem, it’s that he’s lying to America while things are getting more expensive because of his bad choices.
