More than 2,500 Starbucks workers are on strike. They’re demanding dignity: fair pay, safe conditions, a contract that respects their labor.

It’s time their voices are heard at the same volume as CEOs earning millions.

Giving the president the pardon power was a mistake. The most corrupt president in American history is conducting a jailbreak for his fellow criminals.

Every time Republicans control the government spending goes out of control and none of it benefits the 98% that are Americans living check to check

“Under Trump's first term, the deficit jumped from $665 billion to $3 trillion, from a B to a T, and he's already added another $2 trillion this term.”

"the issue isn’t that we need more 'boy-friendly' reforms. It’s that boys are socialized to compete only with boys and to read girls’ success as illegitimate or emasculating. The result is dissonance, resentment, and disengagement for boys—and hostile climates for girls."

Energy transitions can happen faster than we think:

In 2000 almost 90% of Denmark's electricity was from fossil fuels.

In 2024 less than 10% of Danish electricity was from fossil fuels.

How to get rid of Citizens United?

We can do away with it without a new Supreme Court. Nor do we need a constitutional amendment.

Apple is anti-union.

Tesla is anti-union.

Amazon is anti-union.

McDonald's is anti-union.

These mega-corporations aren’t on workers’ side and their actions make it painfully clear.

A depraved and decadent Trump WH dinner for MBS was a stunning low for an American ruling class that's stopped pretending to carry a moral compass

Despite being threatened by the President of the United States, these Senators and Representatives will not be deterred. They will not be silenced. They will not be intimidated. They love this country and believe we are better than what the politics represent!

#AntiAbortion #HatingWomen

South Carolina is trying YET AGAIN to pass a bill that will impose the death penalty or imprison women (life sentence) who lose their baby for any

Death penalty and life imprisonment for a miscarriage or abortion is pure hatred of women.
