It wasn’t until 1938—more than a half century after the Haymarket Riot and the national strikes for eight-hour workdays—when Congress passed the Fair Labor Standards Act, which limited the workweek to 44 hours, and then amended the law two years later to 40 hours.
Did you know in 1890 manufacturing employees worked on average 100 hours a week? It would be decades before the eight-hour workday became real. It took labor activists and labor unions to turn the cry for change into policy and practice. www.americaamerica.news/p/a-labor-da...

Knowing the names of the an unelected oligarch’s underlings who are destroying the government from within is a crime now, apparently.

Whatever you do, please don’t log on to X and retweet things about “BigBalls” and the other DOGE staffers who are hijacking the government’s payment systems and citizens’ private data.

Media sane washing and normalizing got us to a 2nd trump presidency, and his Propaganda Polly press secretary Karoline Leavitt.

We can't count on them to get us out of this mess.

I find this video of FBI Director nominee Kash Patel disqualifying. Schiff should confront him about it during Patel's confirmation hearing tomorrow. Let's make this viral.

After Fox co-workers told media he was often drinking or hungover while at work, Pete Hegseth challenged people to find a single clip showing him drinking on the job.

We accepted the challenge.
