It would certainly be a major step on the right direction. Appropriate consequences would put us on a healing path, and let the guilty know we are NOT going to look away, we are going to listen to & support the victims, and hold the guilty accountable.

Wealth cannot be permitted to grant anyone a license to victimize others, especially children. We OWE them due process ... (And about those 6 - 55 gallon drums of sulfuric acid... we need a FULL investigation... due process of law... and consequences!!)

Does anybody else think that if we focus on getting the Epstein files released and we see consequences for the men in it, we have a chance of saving this country?

On the day Biden left office, inflation was down to 2.9%, gas was $3.12 a gallon, and diesel was $3.63. Now inflation is 3.4%, gas $4.44 and diesel is $6.40 because of tariffs and the Iran war.

Republicans tried to rig the maps to save their House majority. It won’t be enough. Democrats are running 10 points ahead of their 2024 presidential performance in special elections. If that holds, Dems could end up with a 230–205 House majority. The stakes are huge. Make your voice heard. VOTE.

If you’ve ever worked a 40-hour week, earned overtime or collected Social Security, you should know Frances Perkins. As FDR’s Labor Secretary, she helped build protections workers still rely on today and was the first woman to serve in a U.S. Cabinet. Remember her name. 🇺🇸 #SheShed #VivaHerAlliance
Vintage TIME magazine cover featuring Frances Perkins seated at a desk, wearing a hat and dark coat. The black-and-white portrait is framed by TIME’s classic red border. Text beneath reads “FRANCES PERKINS (1933) Architect of the New Deal.”

Increase in productivity since 1979: 93% Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 34% Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%. As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

The post text reads:

The quoted post by Paige W. Cunningham reads:

📌Every single story about Trump should include bare minimum that he is a felon, and a serial liar. This is called necessary context. He is completely unscrupulous, and the normalization of this revolting man has been the most grievous thing I have seen in 44 years of journalism.
