Something is wrong with a system where 75% of workers say they’re worried about making ends meet, while greedy corporate CEOs make 285x what their median worker makes.
Working people don’t have to accept this. A union contract is how we fight back and WIN!

Republicans are closing 35 hospitals in Kentucky to give their donors an even bigger handout.
Minutes matter during a health emergency — if you live in rural Kentucky, Republicans are taking those precious minutes away.

Student debt erased if you join ICE? And a bonus?
So others actually doing good,like teachers,doctors,paramedics and first responders....
They get no student loan relief.
But fat masked thugs who may have been sitting around unemployed are forgiven of their debt.
Yea,that sounds like the GOP.

So @franceinfo.fr had a brief segment on the news about ICE recruiting unqualified untrained civilians to help round up immigrants for a recruitment bonus of $50,000 but forgot to mention that it sounds like a repeat Nazi Germany and communist East Germany.
