This Labor Day, if you've ever benefited from:   — The weekend — 40-hour work weeks — Workplace safety standards — A minimum wage — Paid time off   thank a union.   Unions don’t just improve working conditions for their members, they help every American worker.   Happy Labor Day!

Often lost is the irony that when the left used the word "woke" they really did mean something political. Not radical, usually, but political. But when the right dismisses "woke," it's entirely radical. They quite literally mean to dismiss any and all obligations to basic human decency.

Climate is a pattern, and the pattern has changed. = Climate Change
Graphic reading, “The difference between ‘There used to be hot summers too.’ and climate crisis.” Below is a temperature-anomaly chart showing mostly blue, cooler-than-average years in the earlier record, shifting dramatically toward sustained red, warmer-than-average years in recent decades. Occasional earlier red bars are labelled “These were hot summers,” while the sustained cluster of increasingly warm recent years is labelled “This is climate change.”

Please don't tell me AI can now do math.
Caffeine Breakdown per FlavorOriginal Coffee Flavor: Contains about 4 to 6.7 mg of caffeine per single piece. Eating 4 to 5 pieces gives you roughly the same amount of caffeine as a standard cup of espresso or coffee (around 95–100 mg total).Cappuccino Flavor: Contains about 1.9 to 2.2 mg of caffeine per piece, meaning you would need about 8 to 10 pieces to match a regular cup of coffee.Kopiko Focus (Sugar-Free): Contains significantly more caffeine, packing about 40 mg of caffeine per single candy (80 mg per 2 pieces).

To be clear, the fires in Canada rn are in forests that normally burn about once a century. They have NEVER been managed. What's changed in the last 4-5 years is the climate.

This is the Trump administration so let's start by not trusting anything. But IF his figures are correct: --any fraud is likely by brokers, not the insured --it may not be fraud. It may be that people can't afford to go to the Dr even WITH insurance --GOP solutions will make problems worse

“The president is a twatwaffle who is bad for the country, the world, and the future” is completely protected, and, dare i say, defensible political speech. “Democrats are guilty of treason punishable by death,” (paraphrasing Trump) is a call to political violence. A journalist should know this.
