That’s how this American feels too!!!👍

Losing that hour of sleep is brutal.

Think about what an hour of rest means to us.

Now imagine how a 32-hour work week could positively impact the working class.

Working class Americans from all backgrounds deserve more rest and time with their families.

If you’re siding with Vladimir Putin, you’re wrong.

Zero Democratic votes for the Republican budget made to cut programs like Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, and food stamps to pay for billionaire tax cuts. Reject being the minority, embrace being the opposition!

Laid-off IRS employee said he had voted for Trump: "I thought that someone with his business acumen would have come in with a fine-tooth comb and actually found it instead of coming in with a wrecking ball and destroying people’s lives for no reason."

My favorite from today’s 50501 March in Boston.

This is why you fight these cowards.

The moment you stand up to them, they crumble.

Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights.

He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

From EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.

More than 4,000 striking Providence nurses in Oregon will lose health coverage on March 1st.

How shameful those who provide healthcare services to the people would be stripped of their own healthcare because they are demanding fair wages. t.co/tpi5D9ISOd

There's a Crisis of Masculinity in this country and the only way to solve it is to let me act like a cross between a baby and a movie villain

I did, it was sobering. I enjoyed it. However I will say I noticed an inconsistency - in the movie they paint him like he was in cahoots with the people trying to plan to murder Hitler. But in reality he was innocently accused of that- as far as I know. So it paints him as guilty of that.

This. Also. @aoc.bsky.social @ericswalwell.bsky.social et al , can you do what ever you guys do in the House to let Musk, Trump and everyone know that the UCFE, which funds unemployment benefits , is in the Dept of Labor. If these funds are cut, the cost will fall on the states.

Have that conversation. Set you fear aside. This is your Anne Frank moment.

Like many born into slavery, abolitionist Frederick Douglass never knew his birthday.

His mother called him “little valentine” and so he chose to celebrate on Valentine’s Day.

Happy birthday, Frederick Douglass 💜

I'm amazed some progressive bro hasn't already started a podcast interviewing government workers who've lost their jobs.

FREE IDEA

CDC cuts expected to devastate Epidemic Intelligence Service, a ‘crown jewel’ of public health Members of the CDC's Epidemic Intelligence Service were warned Friday that many of them were about to be fired

Doing the unthinkable: The deep cuts to the #CDC's workforce today are expected to decimate the Epidemic Intelligence Service, a program that has trained public health rapid responders for decades.
Envy of the world. Poof!

I would do it exclusively in red areas. Go where minds can be changed. Not where the choir already stands behind you !

CDC source:

“We just had word that all our fellows and post doc staff are laid off effective immediately. The famous Epidemic Intelligence Service, aka the Disease Detectives, is no more. That’s 1260 staff.

They are calling this ‘Phase 1’.”

I lowkey think that Dems are so bad at persuasion because they’re all tied up with truth and factchecking instead of doing some good, god’s honest propaganda.

Do you remember that time Pence tried to see Hamilton and the cast called him out.

Or when McConnell was chased out of a resraurant and not allowed a peaceful meal.

Or when Cruz abandoned Texas during the deep freeze and we shamed him into going home.

That.

Do that.

Feels like we all need to add as much pro-social, Mr Rogers like activity as possible just as a homeostatic response to all the ambient evil floating around right now.

Anyway I just signed up to read with little kids on Wednesday mornings before work.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS IN CASE OF ICE: CONOCE TUS DERECHOS EN CASO DE ENCUENTRO CON ICE:

DO NOT OPEN YOUR DOOR. ICE cannot enter your home without a warrant signed by a judge. Tell the agents to show you the warrant by sliding it under the door. NO ABRAS TU PUERTA. ICE no puede entrar a tu casa sin una orden firmada por un juez. Diles a los agentes que te muestren la orden deslizándola debajo de la puerta.

ASK THEM TO LEAVE. If ICE doesn't have a warrant, tell them you do not consent for them to enter your home and ask them to leave. At work, ICE cannot enter employee-only areas without permission. 2 PÍDALES QUE SE VAYAN. Si ICE no tiene una orden judicial, diles que no das tu consentimiento para que entren a tu casa y pídeles que se vayan. En el trabajo, ICE no puede ingresar a áreas exclusivas para empleados sin permiso.

REMAIN SILENT. You have the right to remain silent. If the agents ask you questions, tell them, "I wish to remain silent." PERMANECE EN SILENCIO. Tienes derecho a permanecer en silencio. Si los agentes te hacen preguntas, diles: "Deseo permanecer en silencio".

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.

EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

Where you at Dems ? You fighting to get them far better severance or going to ignore them, and all others in similar circumstances?
