The term “skilled labor” is weaponized by the ruling class to divide the working class and separate people into a category where poverty wages are justified. The idea that someone who works shouldn’t make a living wage because they’re “unskilled” is ridiculous,

A graphic circulating on social media compares Donald Trump’s and Joe Biden’s economic records as president and cites FactCheck.org as the source. But two of its figures are way off, and others are out of date -- creating a more unfavorable comparison for Trump. www.factcheck.org/2025/04/grap...

The GOP has so far failed to convince a court to adopt its radical approach to contesting elections. That could change with this race in North Carolina.

When people cannot afford to pay for rent or groceries, asking them to help fight against fascism is not going to connect. We must be telling people how we plan on fighting for them and show them who is standing in the way.

The biggest mistake of the tariff push is that it’s based on the idea of bringing the jobs that our communities lost, BACK to our communities. It’s living in the past. Places like my state of Ohio need manufacturing jobs and the best way to do so is to innovate. 1/2

Maybe these tariffs would work if we had a coalition—but Trump’s completely isolated us. Canada and Mexico are pissed, China’s gleefully swooping in, and Trump’s a lame duck president with a weak chin. He has badly misread his leverage, and working families are gonna pay the price… literally.

I spoke to a South Carolina woman today who is miscarrying - her fetus has no heartbeat - but the state's ban is preventing doctors from taking action. She has to walk around with a dead fetus for another week so she can get a FOURTH ultrasound. This is what bans do.

I'm trying to not lose hope. I really am, but today I'm crying . . . In spite of what's still good in my life . . . Because my country is increasingly telling me, and so many, that I've no value as a human being. I'm nothing . . . except data . . . And because I'm nothing, I deserve nothing.

This flew under the radar, but Trump revoked a minimum wage hike for companies that contract with the government. An estimated 390,000 workers will now see significant pay cuts. It's not surprising that Trump's populism is fake, but it's hardly ever been more clear.

Trump’s DHS just dismantled the civil rights, detention oversight, and immigration help offices — the teams that investigate abuse and help families navigate the system. Without them, complaints will vanish, violations will go unchecked, and immigrants will be left with nowhere to turn.

It’s unclear exactly how many U.S. citizens have faced the Trump administration’s immigration dragnet so far. The government does not release such figures. Neither Border Patrol nor ICE would tell ProPublica how many Americans have been mistakenly detained. By @nicolefoy.bsky.social

For decades, self-proclaimed centrists and moderates have been in control of the Democratic Party. Now we’re having discussions on how to “save” or “rebuild” the party. Why would that task be left to those who architected the first popular vote loss in 20 years?!
