Trump’s OSHA is rolling back rules that mandate rest breaks and access to water and shade to protect workers from extreme heat on the job. Remember: Trump doesn’t care about workers. He never has and never will.
How Trump’s Agenda Could Kill You
After an abysmal jobs report, Trump fired the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics.And Trump’s Labor Department just a

We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.
Trump swore he'd fight the Supreme Court over birthright citizenship. IMMEDIATELY, he said. Then the deadline passed and he filed nothing. That's one of eight wins this week. Here are the other seven: www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/trump-surr...

Tammy Duckworth@duckworth.senate.gov · 5d agoSonya Massey trusted law enforcement to keep her safe. Instead, she lost her life at the hands of those sworn to protect and serve—an all too common tragedy for Black Americans. May we honor Sonya’s legacy by advocating for justice, accountability and a safer future for all.
If I had to share just one lesson from my decades of teaching, it's that the best way to learn is by talking to someone who disagrees with you.
I volunteer sometimes at a food bank warehouse, sorting donations from grocery stores. On Monday's shift there were huge boxes of bagged salad, most with the literal Taylor Farms brand name. Dear grocery stores: don't make a charity compost your diarrhea salad! Do it yourself! Thanks!
Reminder: there's NO legitimate use for crypto. Its only practical uses are tax evasion, money laundering, fraud, specualtion, and crime. No Democrat should vote for the so-called CLARITY Act, a bill backed by the crypto lobby that would make this Ponzi scheme even worse.
If you really wanna irk the Red Hat loons. Phrase it this way: Trump won in 2016. No one spoke of rigged elections. Biden won in 2020. Trump claims it was rigged. Trump won in 2024. No one spoke of rigged elections. Obama oversaw 2016. Trump oversaw 2020 Biden oversaw 2024. 😈

Local elections are in fact the most important of all elections, so please get out and vote. It may not feel like it matters nationally due to sheer numbers, but those one or two votes in your household can determine who wins or who doesn’t in your neighborhood.
SayItToMyFace💙🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🇺🇦✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿@sayittomyface.bsky.social · 3w agoDown ballot races shape the environment you live in closest to your home. It impacts so much of your day to day life, yet many don’t pay attention to anything but national elections. It’s important to think and vote locally! Get involved where you live!
I remember when department heads were actually someone in that field and not just a political appointee to political rhetoric. Pepperidge Farm remembers, too.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 3w agoTINA SMITH: Researchers in MN made a breakthrough in childhood cancer in Black kids with a grant. But it seems that according to your proposed rule, this type of research wouldn't allowed bc it's 'DEI.' VOUGHT: We are against DEI policies. We have intended to rid of them whenever we possibly can.
"You know what? I'm going to be honest with you. Joe Biden won the 2020 Election. And I don't care what Donald Trump says, what's he going to do? Withdraw my nomination? I don't work for him. I work for the American people." - Said by no Trump nominee ever.

Great. Apparently the voter rolls in Sangamon County were hacked last year. I wonder who could be responsible for this? 🫠
Everything happening right now is a mixed bag, and it’s so DBT of them 😅 #therapyhumor
For years I didn’t make enough to actually pay into my employer plan even though I was fully vested there, so I had an extremely delayed start in being able to put anything aside. The growth is so slow now thanks to the current govt administration that I don’t know what if anything will remain…
Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social · 4w agoThe Trump regime is gutting protections for workers' 401(k) plans and opening them up to risky investments like crypto and private equity. The crony leading this charge even ran a company that defended employers from worker lawsuits. Utterly shameless greed.
#MorningVibe Ever feel like "someone should do something"? That someone is YOU, & our small acts add up! From boycotts to calls to Congress, collective action works & holds institutions accountable. Individual efforts build massive impact when we stand together. 💙 @optimisticsoap.bsky.social!
“That's the question on Virgil Strader's mind. He tells me there's no militia associated with New Illinois, but he does know people with heavy arsenals who would be willing to join a secessionist fight.” Oof. These “heavy arsenals” people are some of the same who traveled to J6, I suspect 🫠
