🚨Today is May Day — a global day of worker resistance. These historic protests are led by May Day Strong - a coalition of workers, immigrants, students, and grassroots organizers from across the country. 50501 is not the sole organizer, we are proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with May Day Strong.
Shoutout to @repsummerlee.bsky.social for truth telling! “We cannot simply say that we will take away the opportunities for students to access loans and not replace it with anything else.” That’s the GOP’s whole plan: block access, bury us in debt, and force us into low-wage jobs with no way out.
The economy is shrinking. Consumer confidence is plunging. Tariffs are unleashing chaos. A majority of Americans say their financial situation is getting worse. Odds of a recession are increasing, which would hurt working people the most. All because of Donald Trump.
I joined my colleagues in the House and Senate today to take a stand against President Trump's 100 days of rising costs, chaos, and corruption. That's why we're fighting back in courts, in Congress, and alongside our constituents!
ICE has begun raiding the homes of American citizens. A widely shared story out of Oklahoma describes a disturbing incident where a woman and her children were dragged into their yard half-naked. Reports are mounting across multiple states of agents targeting the wrong properties.
Ron Johnson: "I'm hearing an awful lot from manufacturers in Wisconsin. If this thing drags on, the tariffs remain high, their businesses will be put out of business."
Trump campaigned on the promise of supporting working people. But in his first 100 days, he stripped bargaining rights from more than 1mil federal workers, rolled back pro-worker policies, & crippled agencies that protect workers. This is a direct attack on working Americans. We're fighting back.
This should not be up for discussion....It should be itemized on the ticket.....
The so-called “moderate” GOP position on Medicaid cuts is no cuts above $500 billion. Hello? That would mean 18 million children and 2 million adults with disabilities lose health care coverage, according to the latest estimates. What’s “moderate” about that?

This is from The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson aired on May 20th, 1977. Carl Sagan says something very important, a strong message that didn't lose any validity since then.
