Shut us down for good reason.
Open back up without any of those reasons having been fixed.
You want us to have confidence in you?
You want us to think YOU can lead US?
Don’t get me wrong, it’s good to have a chance to be back.. but our pain produced nothing in return.

Today we learned that in June the US economy lost jobs for the first time since 2020. We haven’t seen this kind of net job loss since - well, since the last time Trump was in charge.

As Trump attacks unions and occupies our city, we’re called to remember how we got here.
Labor Day would not exist without the workers who fought and died at the Haymarket Massacre and the Pullman Strike in Chicago.
It’s not a coincidence he’s targeting Chicago:

Fossil fuel interests spent nearly $100 million on Trump's re-election. Then the industry pumped $19 million into his inaugural fund.

Americans’ electricity bills are predicted to rise by as much as 18% over the next decade, thanks to cuts to clean energy production in Trump’s big, ugly bill.
Red states are likely to see the biggest increases.

This is a risk in field work: people don't want to admit they're having difficulty with heat or elevation, because they worry it makes them look bad.
Check in on each other: hydration, breaks, shade. And foster a culture where speaking up is expected, because it's important for EVERYONE'S safety.

Hey, one of the things you learn when you get certified to teach exercise class is that this isn't true. People who are in great shape can also suffer from heat exhaustion and stroke, and you have to be more careful of it because the symptoms can be harder to spot until it's too late.
