Trump and Republicans attack unions because they know organized workers are powerful. But let’s be clear: workers built this country—not billionaires. (1/2)
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.
Periodic reminder I was tortured in childhood over autism and that’s what RFK Jr is trying to usher back in
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.
Reminder: Most mass shootings are carried out by cisgender men.
What a ridiculous person.
Why does the right insist on honoring the LOSING side of a civil war? And why did we all put up with this bullshit for so many years?
the mystery of Schrödinger's Psychopath has been solved
I’ve never witnessed this many people collectively hoping someone has shuffled off this mortal coil. It’s a real spectacle.
there is no question in my mind that rfk jr is the most dangerous person in this administration and that his eugenicist ideology threatens the lives of millions of people www.advocate.com/politics/dem...
I’ve seen a lot of fucked up shit in my day, but this might just take the cake.
No. I’m calling your verbiage a spin as you ignore the millions who are following the law and are being arrested. And no human is illegal. This is what you say to dehumanize and justify this racist behavior.
This is dehumanizing language. Many of the people they’ve taken into custody are being arrested outside the courtrooms where they are following the protocol for asylum. But keep spinning this.
No human is illegal. This is language used to excuse racial profiling, elimination of due process and human rights abuses.
I love it when they say it out loud.
So Ken Paxton thinks he can claim three primary residences and still run for Senate? 🤔 If this were a Democrat, MAGA world would be screaming for jail time. But when it’s one of their own, Trump stays silent. Hypocrisy at its finest. 💯 #BlueCrew #VoteBlue #GOPCorruption #ResignPaxton
Between RFK decimating the CDC, normalizing Ashli Babbitt & the umpteenth school shooting... I'm losing the will to post. #ReleaseTheEPSTEIN_Files
BREAKING: Bernie Sanders just demanded a special Senate committee hearing on the crisis at the CDC, making RFK Jr testify under oath on the disaster he's created. Go Bernie!
This is an absolute slap in the face to every single serviceperson who has protected this country and the Constitution. Ashli Babbitt was a traitor who deserves no recognizance whatsoever. Every person involved in this decision deserves the same.
Trump's attempting to fire Lisa Cook to turn the Federal Reserve into the "Central Bank of Trump." The Fed makes decisions based on economic data—not political pressures. This move would undermine the world's confidence in our economy and harm working people. And it is illegal.
Little kids are having to use their bodies to shield friends from gunfire while armed soldiers are busy picking up trash.
A couple of months ago, the Navy dishonored civil rights hero Harvey Milk by removing his name from a ship. Now, the Air Force is dishonoring itself by celebrating a domestic terrorist called Ashli Babbitt.
Dear journalists: The President has not fired Lisa Cook. The President is trying to illegally fire her. Your words shape reality — get it right.
First, they came for John Bolton And I did speak out Because even though I'm not a nutty right-wing warmonger with a ridiculous mustache, I am an American who is horrified by a simple-minded tyrant using our Justice Department to avenge his petty, personal grudges.
People are put off Woody Allen by his appearance in Moscow? Wow - it was the pedophelia that put me off him decades ago.
The Fed was designed to be insulated from politics to maintain the stability and credibility of our financial system. The President is breaking the law, abusing his power, setting a dangerous precedent, and undermining our economy.
So Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are engaged! Congratulations to them🍾👰🤵 You know what would be even better? If Congress engaged in their job and released the #EpsteinFiles! #EpsteinTrumpCoverUp
Sorry Charlie, but only weak men need women to submit.

January 6 anyone?
Dear US Governors, Where are your well-regulated millitia? The ones who are supposed to defend your people against federal tyranny?
“This is about the President of the United States and his complicit lackey, Stephen Miller, searching for ways to lay the groundwork to circumvent our democracy, militarize our cities, and end elections.” – Gov. J.B. Pritzker
The news from the past few days is a stunning example of what happens when the state decides it wants to crush just one guy
Protesters are flooding DC streets to demand two things: that the National Guard be recalled and that the Epstein files be released. We stand with you, DC!
Woody Allen is going to Russia for a film festival because Woody Allen is a dick. Slava Ukraini!
Kamala Harris nailed it. We warned everyone the stakes were too high to hand the guy built for Project 2025 another shot — but noooo. Ever have one of those mornings you just want to throw the window open and yell, FUCK YOU ALL? Yeah, that.
Wow, sales at my company, HighlyFlammableAmericanFlags.com, suddenly spiked. Exciting!
The moment he got back into office was the end. This man should have been in prison for the rest of his life, not returned to power. But our media again saved scrutiny for Dems, not considering him attempting a coup, being a rapist and stealing secrets as disqualifying. These are literally Nazis.
The precise moment when and where in recent weeks America crossed that invisible line from democracy into authoritarianism can and will be debated by future historians, but it’s clear that the line itself has been crossed. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/america-ti...
The GOP is an unthinking tool of Trump with zero ethics and integrity.
Putting the military on the street will lower crime. It does in North Korea, did in Nazi Germany, and in the book 1984. The question isn’t will it lower crime. The question is do we want to be a nation governed like this. Until 6 minutes ago the GOP believed in LOCAL control.
Very North Korea-ish.
Sending troops into US cities against their will. Strong-arming corporations and extracting gifts in exchange for tariff exemptions. Calling on state governments to gerrymander in his favor. Trump is the "big government" nightmare conservatives have always warned us about.
Florida bans "The Diary of Anne Frank" in school libraries. Whoever made this decision should have to eat every page of that amazing book, page by page.
Let’s be clear: deporting Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda makes no sense—it’s not his home country. Nothing about this process has been fair. ICE is targeting him with cruelty. This is the weaponization of government, not justice.
"Any book worth banning is a book worth reading." Isaac Asimov
Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.
What reality is he living in? I'd like to be in that one too.
Why haven’t @schiff.senate.gov, @schumer.senate.gov, and other supposed “leaders” in the Dem party held a hearing with Epstein-related survivors to share their side that the MSM continue to suppress? DO BETTER ADAM & CHUCK!!!
Everyone knew about Epstein. Everyone knew about Diddy, R. Kelly, Bill Cosby, Harvey Weinstein, the Catholic priests—and Donald Trump. Decades of protecting rich predators, hiding their filth, and silencing victims. I’m done with the excuses. So damn DONE.
I SEE WHAT SHE DID THERE... DO YOU? MAXWELL WASN'T WITH FELON WHILE HE RAPED CHILDREN- MAXWELL WAS WITH EPSTEIN WHILE HE AND SHE RAPED CHILDREN
Did not expect the end of democracy to be this unbearably stupid.
A delighted reminder that if you don't want people celebrating your death, don't be a huge piece of shit.
Perfect name for him
We're now investigating Corey Lewandowski's role at DHS as a Special Government Employee. There may be serious ethics violations. We will hold anyone violating the law accountable.

Bullshit. The tariffs are causing inflation, tax cuts for billionaires are permanent while cuts for families expire, the deficit is skyrocketing as you give billions to ice to terrorize immigrants, and you are invading democratic cities to instill fear in anyone who dissents. You are a disgrace
Judge Williams halted new detainees and ordered Alligator Alcatraz to close within 60 days, grounding her ruling in federal environmental laws & tribal sovereignty. By proving “irreparable harm” to the Everglades, she applied well-settled legal standards, making the injunction likely to stand.
I have seen video of an ICE arrest this morning outside an elementary school in Encinitas. The video shows a young daughter visibly distressed by what she witnessed. No child should face that fear, particularly not when being dropped off at school.
“Today, there aren’t any bills on the floor for flood relief, no bills for tax reform, no bills to lighten the burden for Texas families. There’s only one item." "A radical, discriminatory, mid-decade redistricting that strips away minority representation in Congress.” - Rep. Chris Turner. #txlege
But then a doge teenage prick got hurt and Trump needed a distraction from the Epstein files so here we are
Less than 20 days ago, someone fired 180 shots at the CDC building. No National Guard.
The GOP governors of South Carolina, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Tennessee have all sent their states' National Guard troops to assist Trump's occupation of DC. All four of those states have cities with crime rates higher than DC. This was never about "fighting crime."
But numerous US cities in red states such as Ohio and Tennessee have higher murder rates per capita. Why the focus on a democratic city with lower rates that has seen a 35% decline in recent years?
🤔 ' Folks EVERYBODY KNOWS this is the biggest Cover up in modern American history and it's happening right in front of our faces! . Repost of Epstein Taking the 5th about Trump 👇👇👇
CANCEL THE CUTS RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES
Stephen Miller embarrasses his family. Now he’s calling people protesting the military occupation of our capital “90 year-old hippies”. No. They’re Americans standing up to people like him who not only turn against their families, but who also embarrass our country. My advice? See a psychiatrist.
I wouldn’t feel safe in a city where the military is directed by a man who doesn’t believe women should have the right to vote.
So stop sounding inauthentically crazy because that’s Trumps thing?
Some Texas Democratic women have torn up their permission slips and will now be hosting a “slumber party for Democracy” on the House floor.
Slavery was evil. Slavery IS EVIL. That's not "woke." That's just right and wrong. That we are having this convo at all shows you how evil fascism is.
Trump attacked the Smithsonian for depicting "how bad slavery was." Meanwhile, he's pushing schools to partner with PragerU, which tells children the evils of slavery are exaggerated. I've been sounding the alarm on them for years.
You mean the spineless sycophancy Donnie showed to his hero Vlad? The truth is that this administration is completely owned by Putin and is more concerned about a fucking suit than an invasion and crimes against humanity.
I have seen a 0% rise in the release of the Epstein files but your vacation time is still a 100% of the time you have been in office
Your performative stunt has done nothing for DC except to remind us all that you and Donnie little hands are fascists. The will of the people is not in your favor and the fact that Stephen Miller has to insult resident protestors by attacking their age speaks volumes. Your propaganda is bullshit.
Dump: "Remember, the states are merely an agent for the federal government in counting and tabulating votes. They must do what the federal government as represented by the president of the United States..." States: 10th amendment mother fucker.
This is insane. Treasonous. Embarrassing.
Putin told him to do this. That’s a very important piece of the story. Im not kidding. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
At (another) Hampton’s fundraiser with Republican donors on Saturday, Andrew Cuomo said it plainly: he’s expecting Trump’s help to defeat us in November. “I feel good about that,” Cuomo said. New Yorkers won’t.
Why is this not on 60 Minutes America? #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles youtu.be/qMIP4RIoCHc?...
The fact that a fucking suit is even an issue exemplifies what’s wrong with this administration.
As a former Texas State Rep, let me be clear: LOCKING Rep. Nicole Collier inside the chamber is beyond outrageous. Forcing elected officials to sign “permission slips” & take police escorts to leave? That’s not procedure. That’s some old Jim Crow playbook.
