Today, we recognize union members and labor activists who fought for the rights workers now have. The forty hour work week, weekends, sick leave, paid holidays, safe working conditions, and much more. None of it was given. It was fought for by working people. And the fight continues.

As I've said many times. it's an idiocracy. The never ending the stupidity of this whole MAGAT administration!
We don’t need to "save the planet." The planet will be fine. We need to save the conditions that allow human civilization to thrive. Let's be clear about the stakes.
This nation was founded on a union, and on this Labor Day, we’re reminded that the American worker, not Washington, has led to our prosperity. As one of the few pro-union GOP congressmen at the time, I’d rather celebrate the workers than the paperwork signers who gave us off today. (Link below)
Chemotherapy is usually standard treatment for cancers. But they are not necessarily tailored to each patient. Vaccines are a game changer b/c they can be applied to all cancers, since they involve genetic mutations. They harness the patient's own immune system. 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/d41...
The Moderna cancer vaccine offers hope — now we must speed up personalized therapies
A positive trial holds promise for treating people with cancer. More research is needed to get effective vaccines to the clinic.

The labor movement gave us weekends, 8 hour work days, and ensured that our kids can go to school rather than work. Honored to fight for unions every day. Happy Labor Day to all those who have fought for a fairer economy in the richest country in the world.
Texas isn't a red state, it's a non-voting state. Let's change that, Texans! Make a plan to vote early: October 19-30. And tell your friends and family. Please check your voter registration by going to: www.texas.gov/living-in-te...
This Labor Day (and all other days): Thank the workers who serve you. Appreciate the workers who care for you. Respect the workers who pick up your trash. Salute the workers who get you your mail. Honor the workers who teach your children. Pay all workers a living wage.
My taxes already pay for cops, congresspeople, mail carriers, sanitation workers, fighter pilots, and the president to eat junk food, why should I care about SNAP recipients doing the same? Oh because the 1% need to keep struggling people fighting each other so they can carry on bleeding us all dry
According to the Trumplican Party, Mitch McConnell isn’t quite ready to return to work.
All religions are based on the lies of shameless conmen.
FUN FACTS: Mormons believe the Garden of Eden was located in Jackson County, Missouri, near the city of Independence. But that's what you get when your religion is based on the lies of a shameless conman. The Mormon religion was founded in 1830. I don't even have furniture that new!
I don’t think a Hollywood script writer could even have dreamt up this ending for Sienna. From broken and alone on the streets of Thailand to her family life in Wales. All she needed was love ❤️
The ultra-wealthy keep trying to pit the rest of us against each other with scare tactics ("communists!" "men in the ladies room!!" "brown people!!!" "drag queens!!!!") to keep us from noticing that our real problem is THEM. They want us to fight *any* war—except a class war. Happy Labor Day.
Thou shalt not trust A SINGLE WORD from corporate media talking heads who LOOK AWAY while the president is CERTIFIABLY INSANE.
I'm so over of this obsessive stunt queen and his relentless, tiresome gimmicks to get attention. I can't wait until this thirsty nuisance has left the stage . . .
(NBC News) — It is now the least rewarding time to be a worker in the U.S. economy since the government started keeping track. @nbcnews.com www.nbcnews.com/business/eco...
Dolly Parton logged a combined total of 115 years of union membership. Throughout her working life, the “9 to 5” singer/songwriter carried the union cards of two major unions: The American Federation of Musicians Local 257 in Nashville — for 58 years. SAG-AFTRA — for 57 years. HAPPY LABOR DAY!

Me yelling “pick a direction!” at a squirrel in the road is probably exactly how God feels watching me make a decision.
Happy Labor Day! “The upper class keeps all the money and pays no taxes. The middle class pays all the taxes and does all the work. The poor are just there to scare the shit out of the middle class.” - George Carlin
For decades, reporters have treated hours-long voting lines as a “normal” feature of Election Day instead of investigating why some Americans consistently face greater barriers to the ballot… hartmannreport.com/p/has-the-me...
Has the Media Normalized the GOP’s Voter Suppression Right Before Our Very Eyes?
