My office has handled a lot of sexual harassment cases. “Her shirt was too tight” “She drank too much” “Why did she put herself in that position” “She was asking for it.” No. No. No. No. It’s not HER job to be on DEFCON 5 at all times. It’s HIS job not to be a predator. ~ Attorney Ryan

“When food prices go up because farm workers go missing, that’s the ICE Tax. When construction grinds to a halt because no one is left to build homes, that’s the ICE Tax. When our elders can’t get the care they deserve because their caretakers and nurses are gone, that’s the ICE Tax.” #EndtheICETax

CHC Chair: ‘ICE Is Not Just Busting The Budget, It’s Wrecking Our Economy’
Congressional Hispanic Caucus members joined America’s Voice to call for an end to the ICE Tax that’s making the lives of all working families more expensive.

Republicans aren't just saying they will kill or institutionalize or forcibly detransition all trans people: they are actively and overtly *campaigning on promising it*. And every day, cis people are saying that trans folks are fearmongering, overreacting, or don't know what genocide is.

This also sums up the American healthcare experience pretty well. American healthcare is a travesty. This is the bad place.

Sherrod Brown: Data centers really show whose side you’re on. Are you going to do the bidding of those companies from out of state that don’t give a damn about local communities? Or are you going to stand with the public?

These people make Marie Antoinette look connected to the people and empathetic by comparison. They laugh at what their own voters are going through as they continue to mock them as they enrich themselves and have a great time.

The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed... "How will you pay for it?" The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts... "How much do you need?" It doesn't have to be this way.

On this day in 1994, the Clinton administration's heathcare reform plan was declared "dead" by Congress. Over 30 years later, the US is still the only industrialized country without universal healthcare. This should be a national outrage.

The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020 — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%. It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low. We must unrig the system.

That's how this big government bureaucracy is going to keep millions of eligible voters from voting, nearly all because they have foreign or black sounding names. By the time they can prove they are citizens the election will be over. This is all very well planned, no accidents in US politics.

Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024. In 2025, he made 1,794x more. And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers? I will continue my boycott of Starbucks.

Hi, Norwegian here
In the USA, medical school tuition is
typically over $200,000.
In Norway: Nothing.
Students get government loans for living
costs. Each semester you pass, up to 40%
converts to a grant.
This is why a cashier's child can become a
doctor in Norway. Your academic abilities
matter, not who your parents are.
Follow for more from a social democracy,
where dignity is not a privilege.

I think the "debate" about bringing iced coffee to job interviews is effective at distracting people from the really bad job market, the high unemployment rate for Black women, ongoing mass layoffs in tech and media, and how Gen Z workers are refusing to adopt many toxic aspects of corp work culture

New Yorkers, a storm is arriving today. Don't travel if you don't have to. Never drive or walk through floodwater. Call 911 if you are in danger, and report nonemergency issues to 311. Look out for one another and stay safe.

Do you know how much the pay of CEOs at major companies has skyrocketed since 1978? 50%? 100%? 500%? Try 1,316% Meanwhile, the typical workers’ compensation increased only 28%. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

A question worth asking: If a president repeatedly violates the Constitution, and enough members of his own party knowingly refuse to use their constitutional powers to restrain him, when does that stop being one president’s failure—and become a crisis of the party’s constitutional legitimacy?
