This is why labor laws are so important — and exactly why big corporations spend so much money lobbying against them.

It's also why unions are vital — and why we need to support @sbworkersunited.org's fight against corporate greed.

Solidarity.
NEW: For years, NYC Starbucks workers have claimed that the company has arbitrarily cut their hours, denying them stable schedules. In a historic settlement announced today, Starbucks has to pay out $35 million to 15,000 workers.

This is the power of labor laws.

One significant way to fix the federal deficit? Dramatically raise the minimum wage across our country. It will cause an increase in tax collections, much less people on federal assistance, and health outcomes will improve causing less reliance on federal health programs.

There was a time when 90% of Americans would have understood how deranged in every conceivable way a post like this is

I mean if you showed this to any American in 2001 they wouldn't even understand what they were looking at or what sort of deranged creature could possibly speak like this in public

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

In my thirties I was hospitalized with Chickenpox, in very horrible condition. My children escaped that same fate with the Chickenpox vaccine they received.
A kook named Kennedy could take that away.
Be ready to fight.

When does the sane washing stop
JFC, NPR. Just say that he opposes all vaccines, having declared not a single one is safe or effective, and that he wants to shut down all research into new drugs, including those for cancer and Alzheimer's disease. You can also note he's a bonkers conspiracy-monger.

RFK Jr. wants to tackle chronic disease. Despite controversial views on vaccines, his focus on healthy food and taking on special interests may find broad support — and face political headwinds.

You don’t bury an ethics report that would exonerate Trump’s pick.

You don’t skip FBI background checks unless his nominees have something to hide.

See what they’re doing? Please tell me you see what they’re doing.

A handful of billionaires now have unprecedented control over banking, the food we eat, the health care we can access and, now, the information we receive.

This is what oligarchy looks like.
