Iโ€™m Vance Bostic, Iโ€™m running against Hakeem Jeffries in the June primary for NY-8. WE will use OUR seat as a weapon to:

โœŠ Abolish the sub-minimum wage tip scam!
๐Ÿ“ธ Pass an Artistsโ€™ and Gig Workersโ€™ Bill of Rights!
๐Ÿ”ฅ Vote against funding Israel + redirect funds to Housing & Healthcare for ALL!

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.

Of course they did. I listened today to the audio of her saying she never witnessed Trump do anything illegal or out of line, a perfect gentleman. Best part, on tape said she never saw Clinton do anything illegal or out of line a perfect gentleman. Priceless

I think you give them too much credit, I think theyโ€™re just incompetent.
Cops donโ€™t stop crime. They are too busy beating up protesters or shooting unarmed black men.

Havenโ€™t heard that term in a while, but I definitely know what it is. I was a nurse for a very long time and worked with geriatric patients.

I also find the term offensive, definitely in the context you posted. Because its not about states rights, it is about white men using the law to subjugate others that they feel are inferior to them. itโ€™s about the minority control and power over the majority. F-that!

Iโ€™m right there with you, matter fact I screenshot stuff all the time, especially from my family members so they canโ€™t pretend down the road they didnโ€™t support this Criminal president and his administration.

Wtf, I'm so sick of Trump, his administration and followers, including my family members who think thereโ€™s nothing wrong with this or the actions of ICE and honestly, Iโ€™m just so sick of it all.

Well, unfortunately, we Americans are living in an unfortunate timeline. I feel like somewhere around 2015 we took a hard right into a really dark, scary, twisted Multiverse timeline.. and itโ€™s only getting worse, much much worse.

What's the best that could happen?

I woke up wondering "What's the best that could happen?"

As a thought experiment, I want to invite you, Reader, to lean into your Main Character energy and imagine the absolute best, healthiest, most sustainable scenario and share it here. It can be personal or global; no limits.

Why Are Federal Agents Wearing Masks? Itโ€™s a Threat to American Democracy Masked Federal Agents Are Undermining Trustโ€”and Democracy

Federal and local law enforcement wearing masks is just plain unamerican. Itโ€™s a cowards move, and shows the fact that the kinds of deportations happening and the methods are, shameful and unpopular.

This is your mid-week reminder that tax cuts for corporations don't create jobs.

You see, what actually happens when corporations get tax cuts, is that they spend the money they save enriching their shareholders with stock buybacks and dividend payments.

Folks can argue about the relevancy of the โ€œDemocratic socialistโ€ label all day. But if thatโ€™s what youโ€™re hung up on, youโ€™re missing the larger point.

People arenโ€™t chasing labels. Theyโ€™re chasing change. Real, structural, unapologetic change.
