The unemployment rate rose 4.2%. The 29,000 new jobs is just a fraction — LESS THAN HALF — of the 70,000 new jobs that economusts had been expecting. Thanks, Republicans, for helping Trump tank the economy. #MomSky www.theguardian.com/business/202...

US added just 29,000 jobs in September in sharp drop from last month’s gains

Think local elections don't matter? Ask anyone whose water, schools, or healthcare access changed bc of a midterm they skipped. Please don't sit this one, or any other election, out! Check your registration status frequently. Make a plan to vote, in person if necessary.

Today marks 158 years since the 14th Amendment was ratified. As we've seen with Trump's recent attempt to end birthright citizenship, it's important now more than ever that we recognize that ALL American-born children ARE Americans and guaranteed equal rights in our constitution.
This Day in History
14th Amendment Ratification 
July 9th, 1968
Irene Shin for Delegate

American flag banner across the page.On July 9th in 1868, the United States ratified the 14th amendment. This historic act enshrined birthright citizenship into our Constitution, giving people born or naturalized in the U.S. - including formerly enslaved people - and guaranteed citizens equal protection under the law. Over 150 years later, the 14th amendment is more important than ever. Just a few weeks ago, SCOTUS rejected recent attempts by President Trump to end birthright citizenship, reaffirming that every American's due process and equal protection are protected by the constitution. "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside." - Fourteenth Amendment, Article One
