The Israeli military has killed over 1,000 Palestinians in Gaza seeking aid, and its blockade is starving innocent children. There are no words for how horrifying this is. We must end Netanyahu’s war on Gaza’s civilians, and we must end the United States’ support for it.

NO. Americans won’t just ‘get over it’ - they’ll face pain, higher costs and gut wrenching choices about their health care. We all need to stand up against this bill.

According to AP, the typical pay package for S&P 500 CEOs rose to $17M last year — an increase of 9.7%. At half of the companies surveyed, it would take the median worker 192 years to make what the CEO did in one year.  This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

If your goal is to extract as much profit as possible, you’re liable to demolish a completely fine building and replace it with a newer, more profitable one. What if we resisted this logic and did so in a way that preserved rather than jeopardized affordability? bit.ly/3ZLTPUR

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.

The science is clear: polluting our drinking water with forever chemicals threatens communities everywhere. The decision to roll back restrictions is further proof that this administration cares more about corporations' bottom line than the health & safety of American families.

Georgia forcing the family of a brain dead Black woman to pay for her to remain on life support so the state can gestate her fetus is why we need pro-birth accountability laws that force a state to pay for all costs attending a forced birth. www.11alive.com/article/news...
