While we're talking about Dwight Eisenhower...

The 40-hour work week. The weekend itself. Lifesaving safety standards. Organized labor has changed our country for the better. This Labor Day, we recognize the achievements of our unions and the workers who make the American way of life possible.

We overcame one Gilded Age and we can overcome this one. Time for a new square deal like TR’s 3 C’s: Corporate control, Consumer protection and Conservation of natural resources. Happy Labor Day.

Food companies wanted deregulation. Now there are dozens of recalls across the country. Mining companies wanted deregulation. Now the black lung rate is at a 45-year high. Financial companies wanted deregulation. Now financial losses to fraud are the highest on record. Noticing a pattern?

I don’t care what the idiots in Congress think. I think Dr Fauci is an American Hero!

PSA: We are all Democratic Socialists, we’re just in various stages of admitting it.

I miss the great American tradition of not thinking about the president constantly.

The richest man owns X. The second and third richest men control Google. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. The seventh richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

Codifying Roe, passing the John Lewis Voting Rights Act, and holding members of this administration criminally accountable are important goals, but none of it sticks without Supreme Court reform.

For those unaware, a quick primer on perhaps the most dangerous of the oligarchs. Peter Thiel.

MAGA's twisted disregard for honesty.

But this was okay…

Alex Pretti was an American hero. He saved lives. He protected people. He cared deeply about his community, unlike the murderous thugs who killed him. The very last thing he did was try to help a woman who had been pepper-sprayed and violently shoved to the ground by ICE. 1/

He was a Good Samaritan — and they murdered him for it. Now they’re trying to rewrite his history. They want to smear him. To dehumanize him. Don’t let them. 2/2

Please share. 💔

He never brandished his gun he was legally permitted to carry. He was holding his phone. An officer beat him, disarmed him, and he was executed. Alex Pretti was murdered

See, I'm not interested in seeing the leader of another country held accountable for legitimate crimes...until I see the leader of THIS country held accountable for legitimate crimes. I'm funny like that.

Number of people who go bankrupt every year because of medical bills or illness-related work loss: 🇦🇺 0 🇨🇦 0 🇩🇰 0 🇫🇮 0 🇫🇷 0 🇩🇪 0 🇮🇸 0 🇮🇪 0 🇮🇹 0 🇯🇵 0 🇳🇱 0 🇳🇴 0 🇵🇹 0 🇪🇸 0 🇸🇪 0 🇬🇧 0 🇺🇸 530,000 There’s a lesson there.

America has 925 billionaires as of this year. Collectively they have a record $6.9 trillion in wealth. The bottom 50% of Americans control $4.2 trillion in wealth. When 925 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Greg Abbott is passionate about pushing Christianity into every school in Texas while removing free lunch programs for the impoverished from these same schools. Very Christian of him.
