Since the very first unions were founded hundreds of years ago, greedy corporations and their bosses have spun lies about them. Don't fall for it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwwymqpS45c

The so-called “moderate” GOP position on Medicaid cuts is no cuts above $500 billion. Hello? That would mean 18 million children and 2 million adults with disabilities lose health care coverage, according to the latest estimates. What’s “moderate” about that?

Increase in productivity since 1979: 86% Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 31% Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%. As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

Happy May Day to workers everywhere!! I’m so proud to have been a union member and union rep in my career, because worker solidarity is the root of all progress. Every worker deserves safety, security, and prosperity, and unionization, banding together, is how we deliver that promise.

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978? 100%? 500%? Try 1,085% Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Cal-Maine, the biggest egg producer, has been accused of using bird flu as cover to jack up prices and triple its profits from a year ago. It also received $22M in federal aid. While you're getting gouged at the grocery store, your tax dollars are subsidizing corporate greed.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

I agree with Bernie Sanders. Trump and his billionaire buddies just don't care if working families can't afford more expensive groceries or dolls for their kids.

The biggest divide is not between “right” and “left." It’s between democracy and oligarchy. The billionaires who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us. They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see that they have all the wealth and power.

The first point to be made in the discussion of online disinformation is that it comes almost entirely from the far right. As this thoroughly reported piece documents, generating disinformation is a game for the MAGA right, both in the US or for their knockoff Canadian variants.
