World Kindness Dayยฎ Help up celebrate World Kindness Dayยฎ. Visit our site for fun kindness ideas to do & things to share!

Today, 13 November, I just learned from Stephanie Ruhle on MSNBCโ€™s โ€œEleventh Hourโ€, is World Kindness Day. She said she was first told about it by Diane von Furstenberg and has celebrated it ever since.

Letโ€™s celebrate tomorrow too. And the next dayโ€ฆ

The justice system can no longer bring us justice. WE have to do that. Itโ€™s gonna be a long journey. We have to UNITE in our POWER. Economic power through BOYCOTTS & STRIKES. Mutual aid, connecting instead of rejecting, practicing public health, teaching our children, fighting like HELL til the end.

More Military personnel are calling legal military non-profit agencies seeking advice for orders they received.

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.

Listen Kaine, Hassan, King, Cortez-Masto, Durbin, Shaheen, Rosen, and Fetterman. You're NOT gonna take away my 2025 election joy. We voted in that election for folks to FIGHT for us. That doesn't include YOU.

YOU are what we voted AGAINST last Tuesday. So I'm gonna hang on to that.

This is a bad deal, and the old way of doing things is clearly not working.

We need new leaders in the Senate.

Food banks were already struggling to keep with demand. Then, Trump slashed $1 billion from crucial USDA programs supporting them.

Now, thanks to his shutdown, food assistance for millions of Americans is about to try up.

If not, youโ€™re at the wrong church.
