Throughout his life, Rev. Jackson fought tirelessly for workers, both at home and around the world. At every turn, he reminded us that the fight for good jobs, living wages, and union rights is inseparable from the fight for justice and equality. May he rest in power.

It is with much sadness that we learned about the passing of Rev. Jesse Jackson, who helped take up the mantle of civil rights leadership after Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s 1968 assassination and was a longtime faithful champion of the farm workers’ cause. ufw.org/ufw-mourns-t...

The NYTimes often doesn't quote Trump at all, instead reframing his words with a summary falsely suggesting coherent thought, in contrast to the gibberish he actually said. They also don't mention how he routinely mumbles and slurs even prepared remarks, like here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Zsd...

Since the NYT’s own editorial standards state “The writer should, of course, omit extraneous syllables like ‘um’ …” we got to talk about the politics of quoting

Eat the rich, or at least tax them at 90%+.
If you want to understand why rich guys are turning back to eugenics and recreating the rhetoric and theology of slavery, it’s because they know on some level this level of wealth inequality is unjustifiable bsky.app/profile/marl...

The Democratic Party was foolish to reject Jesse Jackson’s 🌈 Rainbow coalition.
An intersectional working class focus is being demanded now and the Dem leadership is once again trying to stifle the momentum.

*Politician brain rot (noun):
My term for the slow drift that happens after you win. When instinct gets replaced with strategy, community gets traded for institutional favor, and soon you've lost the very parts of you that got you elected in the first place (usually to appease status quo brokers) 👎🏾
