This is one of the most exciting protests I've seen yet.
every single successful general strike in US history has had union backing through the local AFL-CIO

this is the first time it’s been called for since the 1940s

On the 5th Anniversary of the failed January 6th insurrection attempt, we’re reminded how fragile democracy can be. We must remember the darkness of that day so it’s never repeated. As history is rewritten by some, we choose to speak the truth of what happened.

The best stat is Canadian median wealth is over $30,000 HIGHER. That's in USD too.

US GDP per capita is 30% higher, but it doesn't trickle down to regular folks like you and me.

Inclusion changes the lives of all of us
In Australia, after his team won the championship,
the football captain went into the stands to bring Sammy,
their waterboy who has Down's Syndrome, to celebrate with them.

#ICYMI: ProPublica obtained records from the Department of Agriculture that detailed the millions of pounds of food, down to the number of eggs, that never reached food banks because of the Trump administration’s cuts to an aid program.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I am thankful for the time and support of Idahoans I’ve met from Boundary county to Bear Lake, and Canyon county to Clark.

We are an exceptional state with extraordinary people who simply want the best for their kids and their neighbors.

🚨Using any kind of chemical weapons at this range is aggravated assault against peaceful protesters. They have no weapons, they pose no threat. ICE is the enemy. 1/2

I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?

This is a great piece of reporting. The vast majority are our neighbors and people who make our community stronger.

A judge’s order means more than 600 people arrested by ICE in the Chicago region and held in custody could be released on various conditions but only if they don’t pose a risk to public safety.
Judge says he’ll order release of hundreds of people arrested under feds’ deportation blitz
The 615 detainees are from a list of roughly 1,800 arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in the Chicago area between June 11 and Oct. 7, and there could be more to come.

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

If you’re serious about the national debt then you don’t fire IRS workers who bring in $6-8 of revenue for every $1 of their salary. That’s one of the best returns you can find.

28% of unpaid taxes come from the top 1% households.

The IRS is laying off people during the shutdown, even though it was rehiring staff it previously fired because it was so shorthanded.
This one stands out because firing IRS employees costs the government money, since they bring in about $6-8 for every dollar spent on tax enforcement

We are fortunate to have Sen Warnock in the Senate as a voice of faith in these times.
@warnock.senate.gov: "As a man of faith, here's something that I have noticed about evil... Evil always gets a little bit too impressed with itself. It's filled up with hubris. Evil always goes too far, and because it goes too far, it contains within itself the seed of its own destruction."

If you are a federal worker, there are several credit unions and other financial institutions that are offering zero interest loans during the government shutdown.

We won’t tolerate partisan messages from USFS, which manages 40% of Idaho’s land for *all* Idahoans. Follow the Constitution.
