Labor champion Frances Perkins almost wasn't FDR’s Labor secretary The first woman to sit on the Cabinet originally turned down the president when asked to serve. Workers should be thankful he didn't take no for an answer.

Both @gregggonsalves.bsky.social and Paul Krugman have it right.

The convicted felon and all members of his Republican Rapist Party want us to die.

Cancer. COVID. Bird flu. Diabetes. Hunger. Dozens of other afflictions.

They are raining death on us.

Unless we block them, remove them, stop them.

Statemento on Passing of Cecile Richards: "Today, we mourn the passing of an indomitable health care and civil rights champion. A lifelong, self-proclaimed 'troublemaker,' Cecile Richards let no injustice go unchallenged. Unwilling to walk away from a righteous fight — no matter how impossible or controversial it may have seemed — Cecile reshaped politics and governance as we know it. She made protecting and expanding women's rights a permanent part of the national conversation and stood up for reproductive freedom when the fight seemed most bleak. We had the great honor of knowing Cecile personally and saw firsthand how her empathy, warmth, and spirit made her a powerful leader. We will miss her dearly, and join the Richards family, friends, and everyone mourning this remarkable person."

An indomitable health care & civil rights champion who was unwilling to ever walk away from a righteous fight, Cecile Richards let no injustice go unchallenged.

We will miss her dearly — and we join the Richards family and friends in mourning this remarkable person.
