On May Day — International Workers' Day — we remember the sacrifices made by union members of the past to win the rights we have today. The 8-hour workday, weekends, overtime pay, workplace safety protections—they weren't handed to us. Workers fought for them, and some gave their lives for them.

A white man, 50, 60, 70 yrs old, doesn't need 37 billion dollars. They could be very happy with 2, 3, 4 billion.

Trump was willing to stand up there for a few minutes to pretend to care about black history, but hugging the guy was a deal breaker.

The government shutdown is here due to Elon Musk and then Trump concurred. So it wasn’t Trump’s idea Please like, repost and share on Blue Sky. If you go to X or Truth Social share it there too. I’d rather have them jealous of each other. #MuskOwnsTrump #PresidentMusk #MuskOwnsTrump #PresidentMusk

Piers Morgan asked Antichrist Peter Thiel what he would say to people who celebrated Luigi Mangione — who was a fan of Peter Thiel & Elon Musk — for murdering an insurance CEO. If someone can find a worse answer to any question, I’d love to see it. This is excruciating.
