ICYMI: "Andrew Cuomo should be scared. @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social is a serious contender who is surging in the polls and seems to be peaking at just the right time." — @nicholsuprising.bsky.social via @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/poli...

And I’m still laid off. I’ve worked a total of 4 weeks this year. I am so thankful for the union that I get full subpay but it still sucks not knowing what is going to happen. On the bright side I’ve stayed off of social media and done a LOT of gardening. Touching grass has been so therapeutic.

I finally got to listen to this one today. Beautifully insightful. I highly recommend this episode.

NEW: 10 January 6th insurrectionists pardoned by President Trump have already been rearrested, charged or sentenced for other crimes. The crimes include plotting murder of FBI agents, child sexual assault and reckless homicide while driving drunk.

“This legislation finally compels social media bros to do their jobs and protect women from highly intimate and invasive breaches of their rights.” Our CEO @imranahmed.bsky.social in @cnn.com on the Take It Down Act ⤵️ buff.ly/WklHjj5

That’s all they do is spin.

Happy Mother’s Day!!

Hello America. Let me thank you for your time. Happy May Day, folks. #Solidarity ✊

1971: Lewis Powell’s memo to Chamber of Commerce urges mobilization of corporate interests in politics. 1973: Heritage Foundation, ALEC formed. 1976: Powell—now on SCOTUS—part of majority in Buckley v. Valeo, unleashing political spending. 1979: Newscorp founded. 1982: Federalist Society founded

In addition to the University of Oregon's failure to respond to student demands for fair pay and workplace safety, they are also trying to charge student workers a newly imposed dorm fee. Donate to their strike fund here 👇

You can’t grow the economy by cutting revenue and dismantling oversight. @casten.house.gov called out Congressional Republicans for pretending this tax plan is “fiscally responsible” while it guts protections and enriches billionaires.

“.. ‘The world hasn't been faced with such enormous potential impacts to trade in more than 100 years,’ CEO Carol Tome said on the company's earnings call.” @reuters.com $UPS www.reuters.com/markets/us/u...

Wouldn’t you know, the time we are experiencing an internet outage is the time I trip over my own feet and go splat right into my front door. Now I can’t even take notes on my technique. 😅

100 billionaire families spent $2.6 billion in the 2024 election. 70% of these donations went to Republicans. Now, Republicans in Congress are gearing up to slash essential programs to pay for another round of tax cuts for the rich. This is what oligarchy looks like.

The Trump administration has deported a 2-year old U.S. citizen to one of the most violent countries in the world. Why does the House Republican majority continue to enable this disgusting, unchristian-like behavior? These people are unfit to govern.

Another Saturday, another 500+ working people at the #TeslaTakedown protest against #DOGE, #ElonMusk and the out-of-control #TrumpAdministration

A few weeks ago, Stellantis laid off more than 900 of our UAW members, citing auto tariffs as the excuse. Now, the company's board of directors has approved a massive $2.6 billion payout for company shareholders. 🎥 www.youtube.com/watch?v=LsSS...

where we are in 2025: major universities seeking a mutual-protection treaty against the U.S. president

“There is simply no place for such hateful rhetoric in the state of Oklahoma,” says Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt who has defunded programs that teach away hateful rhetoric in the state of Oklahoma. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Save the date! May 1st (a Thursday) is a National Day of Action in solidarity with laborers. Many cities will have events on May 3rd for those who are unable to take a day off on May 1st, and we'll be sure to provide plenty of ways to participate from home.

Well shit

I won’t share RFK Jr.’s lies about autism. It’s disgusting and dangerous. If he had a shred of decency, he would apologize and resign. Autistic people contribute every day to our nation’s greatness. To every kid with autism, I’m in this fight all the way for you.

Gonna repost what I told Politico day after the election. The problem Democrats and liberals face was never their policies, or that they'd lost touch with kitchen-table Americans, but that there's a rage machine the other side can flip on or off at will. www.politico.com/news/magazin...

Stellantis laid me off last week. Stating tariffs as the cause. Now they have just approved a $2.6 Bil dividend to stockholders and $2.6 Bil in stock buybacks. There’s a link to a petition in the comments. Please sign the petition! And please share this!
