We ❤️ organized labor! This Labor Day, show your appreciation for the labor movement by talking to your coworkers about unionizing, shopping at unionized stores, committing to never cross a picket line, and voting in November for candidates who support workers' rights to organize for a better future!

Colorful graphic on a light blue background with scattered hearts in pink, orange, yellow, teal, purple, blue, and green, each labeled with a labor protection: "the 8-hour work day," "workplace safety rules," "overtime pay," "the right to strike," "minimum wage," "child labor laws," "the 40-hour work week," and "weekends." Text below reads "Love any of these things? Thank organized labor & get out and VOTE to protect the right to organize this November!"

If Trump had gone to the scene to "help" after 9/11 he would have stayed just long enough to make sure photographers got their pictures. That no such pictures exist tells us the veracity of that story he tells every year.

Friday morning, I was gardening when I checked my phone. A request had gone out for help. For 25+ hours, ICE had been laying siege to a quiet neighborhood in Frederick, MD. Community members were afraid, some didn’t want to leave their homes. ICE vehicles seemed to be lurking on every corner.

ICE vehicle - black Nissan Maxima with plate cover - posted up in a spot that also serves as an elementary school bus stop. Another ICE vehicle, black Dodge Durango, lurking around the community. Two more ICE vehicles - black Dodge Durango and a white SUV, unclear on make, model - on a quiet residential street, being quietly creepy. Note that the white SUV has its plate covered. Yet another ICE vehicle. Black Nissan Pathfinder. They were all over the neighborhood.

6 years ago today, we lost a giant of our history.   I will never forget traveling with John Lewis on three civil rights pilgrimages to Alabama & marching over the Edmund Pettus Bridge where, in 1965, he was beaten bloody while marching for the right to vote.   [1/2]

Representative John Lewis, Senator Van Hollen, and others walk across the Edmund Pettus Bridge.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was a father and business owner who lived in the US for over 30 years. On Tuesday, an ICE agent shot and killed him on his way to work. Join us Sunday to honor his life—and to recommit to dismantling an immigration enforcement system that sees human lives as expendable.

Candlelight vigil for Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, murdered by ICE. Sunday, July 12, 8-9pm in McKeldin Plaza.

I do not think there is sufficient appreciation for how catastrophic yesterday’s decision in Slaughter is for this country. As Justice Sotomayor said in her dissent and she intoned from the bench yesterday, “today the majority reshapes our Govt.”

Nehls on how House GOP will make case for affordability back home: Nehls: What are you talking about? I'm gonna get me lobster tails. Some nice rib eyes. Reporter: Do you think the 60% of Americans living paycheck to paycheck can afford that? Nehls: Maybe not. Maybe they don't work as hard as me.
