Beef prices have hit record highs this Labor Day Weekend — in part thanks to Trump's tariffs. Remember when Trump said he would bring down the cost of groceries? https://youtu.be/9EXi6xyOXSk?feature=shared

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.

Trump says museums focus too much on the “negative aspects” of American history, like “how bad slavery was.” And plans to purge cultural institutions. But be clear: he’s not talking about alternately uplifting Black inventors, builders, and leaders we were never taught about…

Wait! I thought Trump was supposed to be “ending homelessness.” HUD just announced a nationwide audit of Section 8 “citizen status.” Mixed-status families could lose rental assistance, even when kids are U.S. citizens. Families including children could be thrown into eviction & face homelessness.

This is why Trump’s Big Ugly Bill increased ICE’s budget by $170.7 billion More than the military spending of most countries, and more than the US appropriated for the FBI, DEA, ATF and Marshals-combined Trump is amassing an army to employ against Americans in blue states And Illinois is up first

Corporate America’s playbook: 1) Exploit workers to maximize profits 2) Use profits to buy Congress 3) Use Congress to pass union-busting laws 4) Use these laws to further exploit workers 5) Repeat Let's break the cycle and keep building back a powerful labor movement.

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.

There is no moral equivalence between bullies and the bullied, between tyranny and democracy, or between brutality and decency. No individual can be free in a society devoid of justice. There can be no liberty where brutality reigns.
