It’s time to let our troops go home to celebrate the holidays with their families — and stay home.

SNAP is a lifeline for workers in low-wage jobs.

Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.

Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps.

Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

NY AG Letitia James has sued UPS for stealing millions in wages from its seasonal holiday workers.

UPS' CEO made over $24M last year — over 436x her median worker's pay.

This is a reminder that states can step up and protect workers when Trump's federal government refuses to.

that is sooo messed up-
Remember when news broke that the Coast Guard would no longer categorize swastikas & nooses as hate symbols?

That policy went into effect this week.

As hate and antisemitism rise through our nation, this Admin should be ashamed for downplaying the meaning of these symbols.
Coast Guard enacts policy calling swastikas, nooses ‘potentially divisive’
The Coast Guard’s workplace harassment manual that downgrades the definition of swastikas and nooses quietly went into effect this week.

This is the most important political, legal and democracy story right now. Yet, it has garnered relatively little coverage from legacy media outlets. The outcome in these cases may decide whether we have free and fair elections in 2026. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/as-...
