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.

Daily Reminder: Social Security is OUR money!
Listen I’m sure he just fell asleep in a sunbeam somewhere dreaming of inhuman deportation techniques, or accidentally glued himself to one of his golden toilets with his own orange clown makeup, but we can all have a little happy hope in our hearts it ends up being something else, can’t we?
I’m absolutely begging reporters to stop suggesting that Lisa Cook stated that she would use both properties as a principal residence on her mortgage APPLICATIONS Mortgage APPLICATIONS and mortgage AGREEMENTS are not the same thing We have no idea what she represented on the APPLICATIONS

So many people gleefully wishing and hoping for the death of our President. What does that say about humanity? There's hope for it.
Ding dong!
colleagues in an email Friday that he was submitting what he called an “involuntary resignation.” He explained that ever since his whistleblower complaint became public, the agency’s actions against him amounted to retaliation that ultimately drove him out of his position.
He may be alive, but he’s definitely not well.
CHICAGO…
Roughly 60% of Americans agree it is too easy to get ahold of a firearm in the United States, and favor stricter gun laws. Gun control is popular. Gun violence is preventable. Don’t let the GOP and NRA convince you otherwise.
Theres really no point to scrolling your phone waiting to hear about the day it happens, if you are a Real American and live in a decent sized city you'll know from horns honking, fireworks, people spontaneously hollering, passing out drinks, etc
Free public libraries are democracy in action!
So much focus on fascism; we forget that a lot of this is from the communism playbook
What’s next is “trash” if you catch the drift
He’s setting the stage, i.e. beginning the normalization process.
i find this image so fascinating. it is both a literal example of authoritarianism but also a second-hand reproduction of the aesthetics of other authoritarian states. it's like a simulacra of authoritarianism whose purpose is to attempt to make the simulacra real.
i watched the disturbing video that's supposedly from the Minneapolis shooter and (with the caveat that it seems real but i've not seen confirmation of that) what seems clear is that more and more of the people who commit these acts do not have comprehensible politics, in fact that may be the point
Thoughts and prayers!
your gym teacher and your english teacher are getting married
Not tired of winning!🥳
Despicable craven nincompoop
Free public libraries are democracy in action.
😂👏👏 cheers bitches!
this stuff is such a disgrace. a free citizen of a free country should be ashamed to engage in it.
8/24/25💡Independence Day, Kharkiv, ignoring constant danger for one evening of singing🙏🇺🇦🙏
Kharkiv tonight. People chanting “Putin Khuylo”, which essentially means Putin go f yourself
I have no children and therefore no grandchildren, but I need to be able to look at myself in the mirror and sleep at night.
Dems should swap out Hakeem Jeffries with Jasmine Crockett. They need that kind of fire.

My law firm is currently litigating 52 voting and election cases in 23 states. This includes the Ohio case we filed on Friday night and the redistricting case challenging Texas' new congressional map. I am thankful for our clients willing to wage these fights. They, not the lawyers, are the heroes.
A sane country wouldn’t have elected him in the first place…or again
New levels of purple obscurity today!
This Cost of Living Week of Action, we’re calling it like it is. This is the Trump-Republican business model: make the rich richer on the backs of working families. Prices are up and families are feeling the financial squeeze.
Here, fixed it.
Shame has left the building
Absolutely disgraceful and despicable. If you are a partner at Paul Weiss or Kirkland & Ellis you should be ashamed of yourself -- that is, if you had any shame left.
How would he know anything about anything, he’s been on 8 vacations in 7 months? #justdancevance
I’m waiting for the Gavin NFTs and watches. Can’t afford to buy everything. bsky.app/profile/butt...
Some Texas Democratic women have torn up their permission slips and will now be hosting a “slumber party for Democracy” on the House floor.
😂
We’ve entered the 1000% GAGA from space phase of this Presidency.
Can’t imagine how in the world they all kept a straight face through the bozo presentation…
Showing the endangered leader of an invaded country my hats
Heartless. No compassion. A man is dead because ICE terrorized him into running onto the 210. Shame on anyone defending this cruelty—we will never stop calling out their inhumanity. #BradShermanDoesNothing #AhujaCongress2026 #ChrisAhuja #Ahuja #CD32
Nürnberg Redux.
I was born an underdog. 21 surgeries by the age of 12 for spina bifida. A kid wearing goodwill hand-me-downs. I knew nothing would come easy, but I never doubted my right to the American dream. Now, I'm running for the U.S. Senate to make sure all Iowans have a shot at theirs.
I’m waiting for the Nürnberg Episode to drop
Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game. The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.
I’ve started watching the West Wing again because I need to watch some functional government.

The most powerful force in American politics today is antiestablishment rage at a system that’s rigged against most people. Democrats should ignore the carping of corporate and Wall Street Democrats and embrace Mamdani and other young progressives as the future of the party.
yeah michaels is just regurgitating the kind of slop you get from anonymous racist accounts in tiktok comments
Looking forward to the Nürnberg episode of this reality show.
US army rolling the red carpet to murderer’s plane. I will never forget this image.
🇺🇦 Re-upping this one in the name of decency and democracy. Slava Ukraini!
#NeverForgetTheEpsteinFiles
DONALD “CANKLES” TRUMP IS CRYING! HE WILL NEVER WIN A NOBEL PRIZE — NOT UNLESS THEY MAKE A NEW ‘PEDO’ CATEGORY— THEN HE WILL WIN TINY HANDS DOWN! DEPORT HIM TO RUSSIA TO BE WITH HIS DADDY VLADDY! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER! - GOD
When you’re having trouble with your DUI field test…
Getting a kick out of these. As a resident of the Bear State, I warn everyone, don’t mess with us!
Pragmatic progressives — armed with bread-and-butter proposals to improve the lives of ordinary Americans and an upbeat message of hope — are the future of the Democratic Party. This is a good thing. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/bread-and-butter-and-hope
The President cannot commandeer any local law enforcement. The President does not run the Smithsonian. The monthly BLS jobs report is required by law. Release the Epstein files. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
More from Newsom’s press office.
Thinning out now. DC police the only ones left, and they're packing up too. Locals mobilized quickly out here, with handwritten signs warning drivers to avoid this block, lined up ready to protest what's happening. People shouting down from apartments too. "You should be fucking ashamed!"
Situation on 14th St and W St. NW, with federal agents -- no specific agency identified -- pulling cars over for checks. They arrested a Black woman in this car. BIG crowd of people shouting at police. "Fuck you!" "What is wrong with you!" "You don't need to terrorize people like this!"
And he's a Nazi www.thedailybeast.com/new-trump-st...
Well that didn’t go well…
Just putting this here for no particular reason.
Glorious!
This could be the official GOP campaign poster at this point. They know he lies. He knows they know. And they still clap for the lies like it’s the gospel truth.
"I checked my Walmart app — 30 grocery items cost me $70.20 in Jan 2020. Today? The same cart costs me $165.42. That’s a 135.6% increase. We can’t keep living like this. I can’t be the only one." – Jennifer Harper Bowen
These People Are Whats Wrong With America 🇺🇸. They are the Parasites 🦠 we need to be rid of!
The fact that Trans service members who are forced to leave the military are being denied early retirement pension if they are 15-19 years in, is angering and should anger all Americans. Meanwhile the draft dodging fat-assed douche canoe clown balls of a President dodged the draft.
I won’t be going high anymore. I return the same energy, and if we both end up in hell, so be it.
usually if you ask experts why an empire fell they’ll say it’s nuanced and multifaceted, so i think it’s kind of cool that with America future historians will get to just say like “oh they took the idiot train to moronsville”
@genefortexas.bsky.social on Greg Abbott: "To have a governor just bend the knee so casually-- to lick the boots with such energy, it's so unbecoming of a Texan. There's no independence... you're just another bootlicker."
Always remember Repubs need fake outrage because they’re TERRIBLE with the economy
