Traveled to CT this week for a work event. Stayed near the beach!

The US minimum wage has been $7.25 for the entire time the ACA has existed. Fuck your work requirements for Medicaid.

Fave tiktoker of today is the guy who is following around soldiers on the Capital Mall, playing the Imperial March from Star Wars on a portable speaker…

Say hi to this absolute unit of a grasshopper that I saw in my community garden last night.

It’s fascinating the way you have turned your family group chat into content for the internet.

“In the near term, everything rests on what the top 10 percent decide to do or not to do. The rest of the income distribution IS NOT REALLY CONSEQUENTIAL from a macroeconomic perspective.” ~Mark Zandi (emphasis mine) Oh. Ok, we we’ll just keep fucking off then, shall we?

He’s angling to be cast on the next season of The Boys as a Homelander wannabe.

I hope you’re out there with a bucket of paint & a brush, now that it’s after 5.

Find myself thinking about these words by Kurt Vonnegut: ...the America I loved still exists, if not in the White House or the Supreme Court or the Senate or the House of Representatives or the media. The America I love still exists at the front desks of our public libraries.

What’s a civil society org to do, when civil society breaks down?

I for one cannot wait to see what truly unhinged things New Jerseyans will do to protest this. Have you met New Jersey? (Note—no matter how long I live in Philly, I am a Jersey Grrl (TM) till I die.)

It’s hilarious to me that “he’s taking her to a Coldplay concert” has immediately developed a new meaning.

An important step, if you are setting up modern-day slavery. wapo.st/40e4rfK

I hope a whole lot of grassroots groups took note of this…

I guess I just should have done something entirely different with my life.

I mean, at this point let’s change the name of the department from the DoL to the Dept of Advancing Worker Exploitation. // Trump to cut protections for home health aides, migrant farmworkers

Bumping LL Cool J today like it’s 1990… #iyky

surprising absolutely no one.

I am personally willing to live in a stinky city for a little bit, so that we can stop paying city workers less than $50k. www.phila.gov/departments/...

Please don’t bring them here. We have enough callousness for poor people in our political ecosystem already. www.politicspa.com/pa-chamber-m...

These motherfuckers.

“Do you have TB? No? C’mon in.”

Put your body in front of ICE vehicles. Don’t let them have one more person without a fight.

Perfectly expressed.

I would be remiss if I did not plug centeronconscience.org tonight, to the three of you who follow me.

It’s even more demoralizing when you’re repeating it for the third time (technically the fourth, but I’m too young to remember Vietnam War propaganda).

At the periphery of a very sizable crowd at the NoKings Philly rally.

Amassing wealth by oppressing others may be legal, but it’s not moral.

If they come for us in the morning, they will be coming for you tonight.

Scoop: Trump Labor Dept. “intends to reconsider” Obama-era rule meant to extend minimum wage and overtime to millions of home care workers. www.bloomberg.com/news/article... In a footnote in a court filing, DOL said it may "wish to pursue rulemaking...to take a different policy approach."

In all these ICE raids, I haven’t seen a single employer walked out in handcuffs for hiring undocumented people. Where are the arrests of capitalists, who are undercutting Americans by hiring people who aren’t eligible to be hired?? Isn’t this supposed to be about protecting the US labor market?

Let’s be clear: ICE injured and detained the president of SEIU California for peacefully observing. ICE picked the wrong side. The wrong state. The wrong person. and the wrong union. David Huerta stood up. And now 750,000 SEIU workers are standing up behind him. seiuca.org/press-releas...

Isn’t this how the True Blood universe begins?

Jimmy knows…

This. You can raise boys to be decent men by doing some work yourself, as a parent.

Today, I am the proud parent of two college graduates. I’ve done a lot of cool shit in my life, but nothing as cool as getting to be their mother. Leaning into joy.

Look there is one simple rule. Love everyone. That’s it. That’s the path to a better future.

🌍✊ Happy International Workers' Day! Let’s celebrate workers' strength and continue the fight for fair labor rights. Together, we can build a brighter future! 💪❤️ #InternationalWorkersDay #WorkersRights #Solidarity #TogetherWeRise

May your May Day include joy, as well as justice. May your May Day include love, as well as labor. May your May Day include roses, as well as resistance. #MayDay2025

Also the wealth of the chaste rich, just to be clear. Don’t be trying to claim abstinence at the last minute to avoid taxation.

This one’s for @scottmintzer.bsky.social

No full time worker in America should be paid less than $75K per year, at this point. Teachers, who are preparing our next generation for life, deserve twice that.

“Her work is about solving problems rather than dazzling peers” is such an amazing way to say this, not just about Duchin but women everywhere. That is going to resound in my brain for a while, thank you.
