Why do you appreciate unions?

I’ll start:

Weekends off
Paid vacations
Work breaks
Sick leave
Paid holidays
No child labor
Safer working conditions
Health care and retirement benefits

Mark Kelly: "This president, when he says things like 'third world countries,' what is he really saying? I think what he's saying is he doesn't want brown people in our country. And that's disturbing. It's un-American."

If yall aren’t following Demi and her campaign, you should!!!

She’s a veteran, consistently stands against ICE with our community, and is one of 2 National Guardsmen in IL standing up to the Trump administration.

She is so incredible and admirable that she deserves at least 500 hand-knit hats. 💗💗💗
Door knocking in a full-on 13th District snow globe. ❄️💖✌🏽

Ps did you know @katmabu.bsky.social can knit? She made me this hat! 🥰

Lindsey Graham sponsored the Afghan Adjustment Act: “This is the right thing to do. The people who were there with us in the fight who are here in America need to stay. This will be their new home. We have a moral obligation to these people and they will make great citizens.”

Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed.

Getting big money out of politics.

Strengthening unions and fighting for higher wages.

Medicare for all, paid family leave, universal childcare...

This is the progressive populist agenda we need in America.

Wait, doesn't Caroline Leavitt always say that Trump is the most transparent president of all time??? Or maybe she means that he's the most transparently corrupt president. I keep mixing those two up.

So.. Leavitt says Trump is 100% innocent, the Democrats are using the "hoax" to bury the vote to reopen the government, and this is the most transparent administration in history.
Well, there is one sure way to PROVE everything she's saying. Release the Epstein Files. Prove his innocence.

They cut our healthcare to pay for tax breaks for the richest 1%.

But first, they quietly dumped their healthcare stock.

Our lives are being toyed with for a money-making scheme.

That's why billionaires and Wall Street are richer than ever while the rest of us struggle.
