Did you know the “weekend” and working only 8 hours per day used to be considered a radical, liberal idea? 139 years ago today, in Bay View, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 7 workers (including a 13 yo) lost their lives to advance this revolutionary idea. A 🧵

Hey media, and hell, dems too... Stop saying DOGE is cutting programs and firing people. Congress controls the "purse" Congress controls funding. Congress is run by Republicans. So Republicans are cutting funding and firing everyone. Give them the credit they deserve.

I'll be honest, the destruction of our government is happening even faster than I expected. But hey, its not like they told us they were going to do this, or summarized their plan in a massive 900 page document or anything. If only we were repeatedly warned about this project of theirs for 2025...

DEMOCRACY RESISTS! The rule of law was built out of necessity. Now, it is necessary to use the details of that law to retain the acquired democracy we've protected and fought and died for - for almost two and a half centuries. #Democracy #Resist

I had polio when i was 9. I was taken from my parents & placed in a Hospital for contageous diseases- the polio ward. I would see them once a week - thru the glass window at the end of my ward. I could not walk. It was terrifying. Kids died. Iron lungs were awful. Dont let RFK Jr ban the vaccine

Last week, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) announced a historic $1.8 BILLION settlement for 4.3 million people who were charged illegal fees or defrauded by credit repair companies. Remember this the next time a billionaire says they want to get rid of the CFPB.

There is already no fucking way Tulsi Gabbard should be confirmed, but we need to remind every Republican Senator that she falsely said Assad didn’t use chemical weapons (he did). Assad was toppled for being a Putin puppet. Time for some internal housekeeping too.

Donald Trump attempted a coup on January 6th Using phony claims of fraud Fake electors And culminating in the assault on the Capitol-which injured 140 cops The notion of pardoning insurrectionists And prosecuting members of Congress-because they exposed his misdeeds Is thoroughly perverse

As Trump promises to immediately pardon January 6th prisoners on Day One — saying they’re “living in hell” — keep in mind that virtually all of those doing serious time behind bars assaulted a police officer.

I’m sorry to hear that Healthcare Insurance CEO’s are feeling scared for their lives and are needing to hire full time security. I wish every parent didn’t have to wonder if their kid will come home from school today. I wonder if you can tell where my sympathy lies?

I don’t understand why Rep Clyburn is suggesting Trump be pardoned by Biden. No. Just no. It will not bring about unity or healing. It will simply exchange one type of public drama for another. It will absolve officials and the judiciary from doing their job and holding him accountable. So no.
