In Denmark, workers at McDonald's are paid a minimum of $22 an hour, receive free healthcare, 6 weeks of paid vacation, and a pension. In America, McDonald's workers are paid as little as $7.74 an hour with NO benefits. Oh, and by the way, a Big Mac is 30 cents cheaper in Denmark. -fightforaunion

That would be awful. Don’t share this.

Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people

If Barack Obama or Joe Biden had proposed this, the GOP would be in the streets with pitchforks and torches. I guess the new "conservative" position is, "I want the state to know everything about me at all times." www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/t...

Trump gets bullied by Wall st, Elon ran for the hills, Stephen Miller’s wife ditched the White House, Bongino is a shell of himself, and Hegseth is anxiously wiretapping his own office. All while Putin and Xi eat our lunch. MAGA’s “Alpha Men” are nothing more than a pack of cowardly sissies.

Right now, Democrats should be unified in opposition against Trump’s Tax Scam and Republicans’ corruption. Unfortunately, some Senate Democrats are on the verge of helping the GOP advance a bill that would enable Trump’s corruption. Please call your senators ASAP: indivisible.org/resource/cal...

It's not a deportation if a human is removed from a country outside of a legal system. Call it what it is: human trafficking or kidnapping.

Trump is fixating on Harvard because they represent a community that he could never be a part of based upon merit. This is at the core of every malignant narcissist's pathology, deep insecurity and a bottomless craving for acceptance and legitimacy.

Cliff is doing a great job of highlighting Trump's obvious dementia. It's amazing to me that the press is ignoring it after what they did with Biden.

Todd and Julie Chrisley defrauded banks out of $30 million. Trump just pardoned them. Meanwhile, folks can’t even afford insulin without rationing. If you’re rich, you get forgiveness. If you’re poor, you get punishment. What a joke. #QuietUprising #EndTheGreed

What no one in political media is telling y'all is that no in D.C. is taking Trump's Golden Dome proposal seriously. Not the military. Not the media. Not lawmakers. No one. It is the policy equivalent of putting a child's shitty crayon drawing on the fridge.

New data finds Americans are more likely to support labor unions over Big Business than at any time in the past 60 years. We are witnessing a historic rebirth of worker power.  If you want a better life for you and your children, join or support a union.
