Just a GenX w cross food allergies & chemical sensitivities making alt recipes, cleaning products, foraging medicine, being political & sharing ridiculous stories.
This. AND the fact that Labor Day in countries that won the wage & fair labor laws battles, use their Labor Days to protest the government and large corps.
Today is #EqualPayDay, and for the first time in 20 years, the gender pay gap has WIDENED.

Instead of fixing this injustice, the Trump administration has rolled back protections that help workers uncover pay discrimination.

Equal work deserves equal pay, period.

This has always been the GOP's strategy:

1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves.

2) Explode the deficit.

3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions.

4) Repeat.

Don't let them get away with it.

Meta raked in $8B thanks to Trump’s first tax cuts. It donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration.

Comcast got $6.6B. It donated $1M to his inauguration.

Bank of America got $24B in tax subsidies, and you guessed it, donated to Trump’s inauguration.

This is who Trump governs for.

If Trump can disappear green card holders for protesting war, he can disappear you.

If he can disappear visa holders for criticizing him, he can disappear you.

If he can disappear asylum seekers for tattoos, he can disappear you.

We must speak out now — before there is no one left to speak out.

What the actual *?! The White House has designated Mr. Musk’s office, the United States DOGE Service, as an entity protected from public records requests and most judicial intervention until at least 2034, by classifying its documents as presidential records.

To instrumentalize what my sister is saying below: every time someone says DEI say “you mean civil rights?” Every time someone says they are against woke reply “oh so you’re a segregationist!” Words have meaning! Don’t allow that nonsense to stand.
Only saying once on bsky b/c I know it is not entirely useful, but it is totally exhausting that in 2016 some of us said “they’re Nazis,” some of us screamed “they’re segregationists,” and a whole lot of very serious people now posting about them being Nazis and segregationists gaslight us for years

Curious decision seeing as trump’s fear mongering re immigrants was the drug trade. I wonder, is this to help move child-corn and trafficking fully underground? Is this to run supply to the oligarchy? What are your theories? #billionaire #oligarchy #drugs #corruption

We need to end the unholy alliance between money and power in politics by overturning Citizens United and banning PAC money.

Let's be clear: You need 2/3 of Congress and 38 state legislatures to ratify an amendment. Trump doesn't have that.

For all that my GOP colleagues claim to love our Founding Fathers, they seem to have forgotten the words of Thomas Paine: In America, there is no king but the law.
Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) proposed an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would allow President Trump to serve a third term in the White House so that the country “can sustain the bold leadership our nation so desperately needs.”
