Honor the hands that harvest your crops, build your cars, deliver your packages, and care for your elders. Honor your coworkers and neighbors with the kind of dignity and solidarity that sends shivers through the wealthy, powerful few at the top!

America’s unions and working people across the country will not accept cuts to essential services like Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security - just to give even more tax breaks to billionaires.

"The same people in the administration promising the return of domestic manufacturing and coal mining are also dismantling measures to keep workers safe. They’re the same people who don’t believe in a minimum wage that could feed a family. They’re the same people who want to see unions crushed."

One key takeaway from Trump's tariffs and taxes speech last night: DJT does not understand the definitions of either "tariff" OR "taxes". The King Penguins on Heard Island understand those definitions better.

Our friend showed up at the door on Saturday, with his new passport in hand and tears in his eyes. He had sent in his birth certificate and a copy of his driver's license, both of which describe him as male. The US Government, in its infinite wisdom, marked his sex as "F."

114 years ago in 1911, one of the worst workplace disasters in history struck: the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire. As the workday was coming to an end, a fire erupted, claiming the lives of 146 out of 500 workers in just 18 minutes. Many exits were locked, trapping them inside. 1/2

This is the sort of thing that many Americans tend to forget. The U.S. has been a nation of immigrants ever since we started stealing land from those who already lived here.

Stonewall wouldn't be a thing if it wasn't for the bravery of trans resisters! This is a lovely, though small, recognition of that bravery. This cause is close to my heart - please sign:

The erasure of trans people from the NPS Stonewall webpage is a form of violence. Its like saying Northern men didn't fight in the Civil War. Stonewall wouldn't have happened w/o trans people.
