Remember: If unions didn’t matter, powerful corporations wouldn’t spend millions of dollars every year to stop workers from organizing. Keep up the fight.

“Reading is woke!” MTG… probably.

Aren't you feeling manipulated lately? #ukpolitics

The pardon power exists to correct legal errors, not to let reality TV hosts monetize it.

According to the Guardian: "He is thought to be the richest hereditary peer, with an estimated net worth of £1.2bn according to the 2022 Sunday Times".

RFK Jr. not knowing how to cite research and just making shit up as he goes is… not that surprising. Mind boggling that four Republicans couldn’t grow a spine and block this guy. Now look where we are.

This is pure extortion and Trump should be impeached for this repugnant abuse of power. There was nothing wrong with the segment, in fact CBS released her entire answer and none of it was flattering. Paramount Offers Millions To Trump To End $20B ‘60 Minutes’ Suit & Let Skydance Merger Go Through

Trump’s Golden Dome is like his Space Force, his Wall Mexico was to pay for, and the 51st state. Red herrings to divert you from the stealing of your money and your rights.!

"That woman was inciting violence. She is free to think her horrible, horrible, racist thoughts. That is fine. What she isn't allowed to do is go and incite violence." Labour peer Ayesha Hazarika on the Lucy Connolly case. #Newsnight

Christian Nationalists pretend that the United States was founded as a Christian nation, but the Constitution never mentions Jesus or Christianity. Not even once. Instead, it bans government promotion of *any* religion. Don't be fooled by their lying propaganda.

Harvard is now offering an online class (free to audit) on understanding the Constitution, your civil rights, and recognizing a dictatorship. www.harvardonline.harvard.edu/course/we-pe...

This Memorial Day weekend, the best way to honor the soldiers who gave the ultimate sacrifice is to honor and protect the freedoms and the democracy they died for.

Wise words from Mr. Rogers. We are all in this together. Let us all renew ourselves to strive for the common good.

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%.  Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

If you love the U.S., and want it to survive Please stop fighting Dems and focus on the GOP Believe it: if we don't stop the GOP now, there will be no U.S. Right now Senate GOP has a Project 2025 bill to gut Medicaid, Medicare & much more That U.S. Congressional switchboard number: 202-224-3121

Americans favor labor unions over big business now more than ever. www.epi.org/blog/america...

"There has been spittle-flecked hysteria from the right wing press every day this week. The terror is now theirs. Even with such a modest EU deal, they know they have lost."

#WakeUpAmerica We’re living in an authoritarian government with a wanna be king. We the people are not just dying from guns. We the people are also dying because our government doesn’t care whether we live or die, whether we have human rights, healthcare, food, jobs, shelter, education, etc.

Never take seriously those who ridicule low income people for having a smartphone or laptop. “If they’re so poor how did they buy an iPhone???” Because they’re trying to escape poverty, not the 1700s, genius. If you think basic tech access is unnecessary or a luxury, survive a month without it.

Meanwhile at 12.30. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I have no words.

Permission to laugh

If it was a “personal” and not a “presidential” meeting, why the presidential seal?

👏👏👏

Happy Saturday 🌞......

Abortion bans cause dead women to be intubated and forcibly kept alive against the family wishes. And the family pays for it.

We have a president who virtually never thinks rationally, logically, or even in sequential steps. Nor can he fully comprehend causes and effects. His base of knowledge on virtually all subjects relating to governance and economics and world affairs is minimal. (1/2)

Straight-up!

Dear Canadian Media,unelected Poilievre is not the opposition leader. He’s a private citizen currently grifting off the Canadian taxpayer.

Qatar supported 9/11.

If only he was half as obsessed with creating the best healthcare system for the American people as he is about getting his fat ass on the best plane.

If you live in Dubai to avoid paying UK income tax, you're an economic migrant. Tell me I'm wrong.

I’m one of those dodgy immigrants who came here on a spouse visa and got indefinite leave to remain after 12 months. The incalculable harm I have done to the UK includes dedicating my life to public service, educating thousands of British young people, and paying more tax than I’ll ever get back.

Yup. That’s the one.

In case you missed it ... Here's the Nobel prize-winning economist Esther Duflo destroying the claim that foreign workers reduce domestic wages. In fact, they actually help UK workers by adding to the talent base and allowing the economy to grow. Getting rid of them just leads to more automation. 🇬🇧🇪🇺

And this is why Starmer will never out-Reform Reform. He could give the whole Rivers of Blood speech and the Enoch Powell fan clubs would reject him. They’ve picked their man for their uncompromising rhetoric… all Starmer is doing is losing his base by showing he’s unprincipled on any position.

What immigrants from all over the world have done for this country is tremendous. “Incalculable”, even. 🇬🇧♥️🌎

It’s incredible that the President of the United States is openly flirting with suspending Habeas Corpus, disappearing people left and right, arresting judges and politicians, accepting ludicrous bribes from foreign countries, and people are still trying to normalize this shit.

In our health care system, nurses go far beyond of what they are ask. Their care for patients is exceptional and it is an honor to stand with New Jersey Nurses and those across the country during Nurses Week.

The Constitution disagrees. The Emoluments Clause, part of Article I, Section 9, Clause 8, bans office holders from taking ANY gifts from foreign countries. There is no mention of quid pro quo. That is because the Founding Fathers knew that even the *appearance* of corruption promotes corruption.

Labour has a whopping great majority and four years left to turn this country around. They should be setting the agenda, not chasing about trying to placate voters of a party with five MPs who will never vote for them anyway. It's not only disappointing... it's embarrassing

this guy is out here proudly being a eugenicist freak while people at mainstream and "respectable publications" make excuses for him or even muse about whether he has a "few good points"

ICE agents should not be permitted to wear masks. They should have their names and identification numbers clearly displayed to all. Democracy and protecting our rights depends upon public accountability. Masked agents of the state abusing and disappearing people is not exactly friendly to that.🖕🏻them

When the Articles of Impeachment (or criminal charges) finally hit, I do hope that they don’t do the “let’s pick a handful of representative counts” thing and instead just drop the multi-volume charge sheet so that we can clearly see the scope of the conduct.

The government’s abject surrender in the immigration conversation will not necessarily lose them votes. But it won’t win any either because a) for good or for ill, the small boats are the really emotive issue & b) people who simply resent immigrants will always favour Farage. He’s one of their own.
