This. AND the fact that Labor Day in countries that won the wage & fair labor laws battles, use their Labor Days to protest the government and large corps.

This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode the deficit. 3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions. 4) Repeat. Don't let them get away with it.

Meta raked in $8B thanks to Trump’s first tax cuts. It donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration. Comcast got $6.6B. It donated $1M to his inauguration. Bank of America got $24B in tax subsidies, and you guessed it, donated to Trump’s inauguration. This is who Trump governs for.

This fails to mention the use of unauthorized communication devices and apps… but yes, also this.

If Trump can disappear green card holders for protesting war, he can disappear you. If he can disappear visa holders for criticizing him, he can disappear you. If he can disappear asylum seekers for tattoos, he can disappear you. We must speak out now — before there is no one left to speak out.

What the actual *?! The White House has designated Mr. Musk’s office, the United States DOGE Service, as an entity protected from public records requests and most judicial intervention until at least 2034, by classifying its documents as presidential records.

Effective and creative data visualization in the form of a full page piece in the WaPo today to show how Trump/Musk are dismantling government.

If you aren’t following Jess Craven, you should be!! She offers scripts for contacting your reps.

Interesting… I wonder how often this happened in other locations and why haven’t we heard more about this?!

The recently pardoned January 6ers are gearing up to run for office. Yes, we are serious. Now is the time to stop them. www.welcomestack.org/p/insurrecti...

I'm not teaching my grad course 'Civil Resistance: How It Works' this semester. But here is an abridged version of the course schedule, readings, and films I used the last time I taught it (in 2022). Just in case it's useful. drive.google.com/file/d/14RRJ...

To instrumentalize what my sister is saying below: every time someone says DEI say “you mean civil rights?” Every time someone says they are against woke reply “oh so you’re a segregationist!” Words have meaning! Don’t allow that nonsense to stand.

The United States is officially in a trade war with Colombia because of Donald Trump.

This is why we do one thing every day.

Curious decision seeing as trump’s fear mongering re immigrants was the drug trade. I wonder, is this to help move child-corn and trafficking fully underground? Is this to run supply to the oligarchy? What are your theories? #billionaire #oligarchy #drugs #corruption

The entire world is protesting the oligarchy and dangerous international implications …

We need to end the unholy alliance between money and power in politics by overturning Citizens United and banning PAC money. It’s time to invest and bring the benefits of innovation to all Americans, not just a wealthy few. youtube.com/shorts/ZfzgV...

Let's be clear: You need 2/3 of Congress and 38 state legislatures to ratify an amendment. Trump doesn't have that. For all that my GOP colleagues claim to love our Founding Fathers, they seem to have forgotten the words of Thomas Paine: In America, there is no king but the law.

And so it begins: Bakersfield, CA sees massive drop off in field workers as ICE agents rounded up suspected immigrants, resulting in acres of oranges left unpicked in the California sun during the most active period of the season. “Economic devastation” newrepublic.com/post/190555/...

The folks obsessively posting about egg prices for the past few years have gone strangely quiet just as egg prices hit an all-time high.
