AND the bitch doesn’t come to picket lines EVER so. Fuck off Tim
It's especially gross that Walz is out here using Stand Up, Fight Back as a campaign slogan, given that he's the guy who deployed the national guard to put down the uprising when people were quite literally standing up and fighting back.

Your Prime Day reminder that half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food & housing costs.

A third have had to rely on government assistance like SNAP — which is about to get cut.

If Bezos can spend $50M on a wedding, Amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity.

It's wild watching the Democratic Party cut its own throat on television and social media. Please, tell me louder that you only care about power and money and that virulent gutter racism is baked into the protection of those things.

The federal consent decree over the City of Mpls has been dismissed. This means hundreds of police reforms that the City was supposed to be required to implement are now no longer legally binding. This is another detrimental impact of the Trump administration on our community.

In case you missed it, Trump's CFPB has quietly dropped 18 lawsuits against banks, mortgage firms, and subprime lenders accused of offering predatory loans to millions of vulnerable consumers.

Trump is making his corporate backers even richer by letting them swindle you.

These ICE raids are nothing more than abductions.

We aren’t told where they go, what they’re doing to them, if they’re being humanely treated (we’ve been told they aren’t feeding them or giving them enough water).

The U.S. government is abducting people and torturing them at the taxpayer’s dime.

Trump is losing in the courts. He's fighting publicly with Musk. His “big beautiful bill” has stalled.

Trump is now left only with his vindictive rage.

And of course his money-making schemes to line his pockets.

He's likely to become even more unhinged — be warned.

Striking workers in Washington State will now get unemployment from the state.

A bill giving workers out on strike 6 weeks of unemployment insurance was just signed into law after passing both chambers.

Workers affected by employer lockouts will also benefit from the new law.
