It’s exhausting to keep demanding better from establishment Dems too beholden to capital to ever challenge the billionaire elite’s GOP puppets. We’re wasting time as our democracy crumbles into dust.
Instead, we should vote them out & replace them with reps who WILL vote to impeach Hegseth

For some reason Democratic leaders seem to prefer telling voters what they won’t be able to do, rather than what they’d like to do.
If Hegseth ordered a war crime and lied about it, shouldn’t Ds try for impeachment? Put Rs on the spot. They might get a few defections.

Jeffries says not to expect Democrats to pursue Hegseth impeachment over boat strikes
"Republicans will never allow articles of impeachment to be brought to the floor," he said.

For all the mfers who say workers just serve coffee, just deliver packages, just stock shelves, just clean rooms, just prep food, or just check in guests, remember this, they keep our communities running every day. And when they’re on a picket line, you respect it.

@volkswagen.bsky.social is stopping production of the “ID Buzz.” In my opinion they should have made a real bus with westfalia characteristics and not a minivan. Even the eurovan was better than the buzz.

A wealth tax would fix this
The top 1% in the US have now a record $52 trillion in wealth.
The bottom 50% have about $4 trillion.

The Economic Policy Institute has updated their data on teacher salaries vs the comparable labor market. This failure of our system is not only another example where workers are being left behind, but also a stark reminder of how we are failing our kids.

David Huerta, a dear friend and SEIU CA President/USWW President, was arrested during an ICE raid in the warehouse district of Downtown Los Angeles today.
We are calling for his immediate release and the release of all of the protesters standing up for targeted communities.

Many school districts require students to undergo a lengthy process if they want to wear tribal or other cultural regalia at graduation. A new bill would eliminate those obstacles.
