I remember a time when standing up for our allies' national sovereignty, living up to our promises, and protecting freedom of speech were considered American values.

BREAKING: The FTC is taking action against Greystar, the biggest apartment landlord in the country.

Tariffs are like plastic surgery.

Jose and Porfirio work under a UFW contract at Swanton Berry in Santa Cruz, CA. They are currently planting new strawberry plants for next year's harvest. They are grateful for their union benefits and are looking forward to having Thanksgiving off as a paid holiday. #WeFeedYou

I'm sensing a trend that the people who will be running our government now are rich folks who hate it when the government stops them from hurting people.
