There's No Justice Without Power A rich guy's lesson for the left.

It's International Workers' Day!

Today, we honor labor's victories and mourn its losses.

The fight for labor equality continues, and systemic change demands action.

Here's a great editorial by @hamiltonnolan.bsky.social about labor unions, our most potent means of direct action.

If your Democratic congressperson sounds anywhere near this disconnected from reality, PRIMARY THEM.

Farmers keep the wheel of civilization turning, and no matter their politics, they’re humans with families. Even if it’s hard to muster any sympathy for folks who likely voted in favor of all this, we need farmers-and the fewer farmers there are, the worse off we all are.

Thanks to Bluesky for the assist!

Federal prosecutors bring 4 charges against Luigi Mangione Luigi Mangione, the suspect accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, faces four new federal charges, newly unsealed court documents show.  Mangione was already facing state char…

The message being sent here is clear: "The federal government will protect the elite at all costs." While we do not agree with Mangione's actions, make no mistake that if the victim had been a divisional sales manager at UHC, and that was the only difference, federal prosecutors would not intervene.

Musk is so set on destroying the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Liz Warren created—because she fights for workers and Musk is an plutocrat who detests them—that he’s willing to take the plunge and...

...keep being an open racist. He’s committing to the bit so hard it’s like he was born to it.

Democrats pick Gerry Connolly for Oversight post, rejecting Ocasio-Cortez bid Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez won't be the top Democrat on a prominent House committee next year. House Democrats on Tuesday picked 74-year-old Rep.

Voters across the country cry out for change and fresh voices. The Democratic Party responded by choosing a 74-year-old man, handpicked by an 84-year-old woman, to its most visible House position instead of a more dynamic, younger woman of color. We deserve better.

How we'll know if Trump is going to sell America out to China Keep an eye on the export controls. They are the key.

Best article I’ve seen about expectations from the next administration

The fact that she has no fear about being that candid shows how far our government has strayed off course.
Do what you’re told, even if it is against your voter’s interests, because we have to keep the trough full for the greedy pigs.

First thought is if Democrats aren't publicly mentioning this at every given opportunity, they are making a huge mistake.

Gotta say it’s wild that every time Democrats win an election Republicans form an unbreakable bloc on every issue they prioritize but when Republicans win, Democrats go “oh yeah, mass deport, f the queers, defense of democracy what?”

It’s a frustrating feature of American politics.

The DNC relies heavily on being the party of "well, at least we aren't them"

It's not that complicated.
Create a plan that centers around helping everyone's lives be better.
Tell everyone what that plan is
Deliver on as much of that plan as possible by almost any means necessary.
Show people how the results of the plan have made their lives better.
Repeat

As we transition to the new administration, we must continue fighting to block anti-worker/anti-consumer business dealings like this merger.
We must keep letting the corporate suits know that they need us more than we need them!

Judges in Oregon, Washington block Kroger-Albertsons supermarket merger • Colorado Newsline Judges in Oregon and Washington blocked supermarket giants Kroger and Albertsons from merging. Colorado had also tried to block the deal.

Inarguably, the best part of the Biden administration has been Lina Khan's work as head of the FTC.
Khan has achieved more on behalf of the American worker in her time as commissioner than every other iteration of the FTC combined.

Trump pressing DeSantis to name Lara Trump as Rubio's Senate successor: FOX News source President-elect Trump is pressing Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to name his daughter-in-law Lara Trump to fill Sen. Marco Rubio's seat in the Sunshine State, Fox Digital has learned.

Republicans will fall all over themselves trying to justify why such a uniquely unqualified person should be chosen.
Democrats will form a committee to discuss what focus groups said about this appointment and then table what to do until the next national meeting.
We deserve better.

Here is a great read on the pros and cons of tariffs.
While the UWP is now and always on the side of the US worker and growing jobs domestically, we should also use prudent, validated economic strategies when it comes to foreign trade.

Ayman Mohyeldin: The collapse of Assad's regime gives Syrians a historic opportunity To move forward, Syria had to end the Assad family’s half-century rule. Now, Syrians have a real chance for a peaceful future.

We applaud the people of Syria for taking back control from their bloodthirsty dictator who didn't even dare to rule from within the borders of his own country.
We are also taking careful notes..... just in case.

Walgreens Discussing Sale Of Company To Private-Equity Firm: Report The Deerfield-based company has seen its market value shrink from over $100 billion to around $7.5 billion in the last decade.

Always remember that when corporate tells you you're as important as family, it means it in the Donner family sense.

A story as old as America itself.
It is more important than ever to support those on the front lines of fighting for worker's rights. Their wins are everyone's wins.
Fight back against the profiteers who prioritize their profits over people.

Didn't even take half a day

This is just one of many examples of why the general public doesn't trust corporate media.
The game referenced here is "Among Us".
That is clickbait journalism at its finest (lowest).

Yeah, it's distasteful, but these t-shirt/hoodie creators might have shareholders to consider, so unfortunately, they often have to make the necessary hard decisions that will maximize their profits.

Global Airline Industry Expects Record Passengers Flows in 2025 The global airline industry stands to earn $36.6 billion in net income in 2025, driven by a record 5.2 billion passengers taking to the skies, the industry’s top lobby group said in its annual forecas...

We hope this means across-the-board wage increases for all hard-working people who make these record profits possible, but we won't hold our breath. It is more important than ever to organize and fight for your fair share as more and more of the profit gets funneled to fewer and fewer people. #UWP
