WalMart, the largest private-sector employer in the United States, with approximately 1.5 million employees, half of whose take home pay is less than $19,177/yr. When employees complain they are not making enough to support their families, HR tells them to apply for Food Stamps!

10,000 King Soopers workers are currently on strike for better pay and working conditions. Instead of negotiating in good faith, parent company Kroger has been using scabs and prioritized $7.5B in stock buybacks. Don't tell me they can't afford to pay a living wage.

Hearing that @indivisible.org and @moveon.org are pissing off house dems by mobilizing their constituents to call them too much is frankly the single best endorsement I've ever heard for a political action groups.

do laws matter in the usa if they are not enforced, let alone evenly? do elected officials matter when they do not listen to or act based on constituents needs and concerns? is there still a democratic republic in the usa? seriously dark passing thoughts.

1/Last August, there was reporting on a conversation Russell Vought, co-author of Project 2025 who was confirmed just by the Senate over the objection of every Dem & Independent to head OMB (sort of like the HR office for the feds), had with people he thought were donors. But they were journalists.

About 40k people are signed up for this call tonight. This is not a rally. We're going to be talking about what we can actually do wherever we live to be part of this fight. If you've been feeling overwhelmed or powerless, come hear us out. Tape the Grammys.

Enough. The Democrats must shut down the Senate and use their power. Stop voting for these idiots. Stop all unanimous consent. Demand answers. Filibuster. Where is the fucking outrage?

A federal court has declared that warrantless searches of US person’s communications collected for national security purposes is unconstitutional. Now it’s our job to make sure Congress knows that when they renew this law in a little over a year.
