Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

—Harry Truman, 1952

aurora shots instead. 🌌 #NorthernLights

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%

Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%

Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.

As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

Can we just take a minute and acknowledge that our POTUS is right OUT IN THE OPEN lobbying Congressional members to vote against releasing the Epstein files?! Like... what the fuck else does anyone even need to know?

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.

This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.

And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

Priorities.

The U.S. saw vivid northern lights as far south as Florida — and more could be coming Strong geomagnetic storms brought colorful northern lights to the skies above many states on Tuesday night. Forecasters are expecting more on Wednesday.

the republican party is engaged in a cover up to keep the american people from learning whether president trump is president pedo

Voters want a Democratic Party that fights back against the forces that have rigged the system and made their lives more difficult.

A party that comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable —not a party that buckles and capitulates.

When will party leadership learn this lesson?

Fetterman should resign!

Remember DNC, it doesn't matter who you run, Fox news will call them a socialist. You could endorse the corpse of Ronald Reagan and their first segment would be "Extreme socialist Reagan picked by Soros to destroy America"

Stop caring what fox news says, and listen to your base. It clearly works.

Brother Warnock lays it plain.

Arizona rep sits at a plain fold-up table outside of Mike Johnson's office. The Speaker of the House official plaque is behind her. Her sign says "Mike Johnson is starving families and gutting healthcare to cover up the Epstein Files: Change My Mind!"

Probably the most badass thing I've ever seen!

AZ Rep Yassamin Ansari has set up a table outside of Mike Johnson’s offical Speaker Of The House office with a "Mike Johnson is using the government shutdown to cover up the Epstein Files - Change My Mind" sign!! 😆

Prop 50 passed! Sweeping win across the East Coast! Pop the champagne, baby. 🍾🥂

Let's do this over and over again until we take back our democracy! 🗳

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

Leaked document. Yikes, things are about to get much worse. It looks like we’re on the verge of becoming a military state across the country. Step out of line, and the man come and take you away.

15 Republican senators have now joined all 47 members of the Democratic caucus on legislation to extend SNAP benefits during the shutdown.

In all, 62 senators are on this bill.

I say to Majority Leader Thune: Don't let kids go hungry in America. Call a vote on this bill NOW!

We know that times are hard, but when we come together, we remind each other that care doesn’t have to come with a price tag. ❤️ The People’s Free Market is about neighbors helping neighbors - sharing what we have, taking what we need, and building a community rooted in solidarity, not scarcity.

The disappearance of America’s leadership class at a time like this means that the rest of us have to be leaders. We can no longer wait to be led by those with the power and authority to lead. You must lead, I must lead, all of us must lead. We are the leaders we’ve been waiting for.

This disgraceful propaganda is beneath the dignity of the U.S. government.

In the words of Joseph Welch in reply to Senator McCarthy during his which hunt

Have you no sense of decency?

These ridiculous partisan rantings are debasing the reputation of this great country.

The East Wing was first added in 1942, under Franklin D. Roosevelt, primarily to provide office space for the First Lady’s staff and to conceal a newly built underground bunker known as the Presidential Emergency Operations Center (PEOC) during World War II.
