My details don't matter now. Here's what we must do: 1. Get to know as many of our neighbors as possible 2. Organize and prepare for a general strike 3. Uplift each other so we can all keep going.

A Philadelphia nun named Sister Rose Kuhn drives to a Texas immigration court weekly to sit next to unaccompanied children as young as 4 who are facing deportation hearings alone without relatives or an attorney so that they won’t have to face the judge by themselves. Heartbreaking and horrific.

SNAP kids are just as deserving of a birthday cake, a soda, & a little childhood joy as any other kid. Kids shouldn’t have to understand their family’s financial situation before being allowed to be excited about cake. Somehow we’ve reached where that apparently requires a congressional hearing.

When 3M scientist Kris Hansen discovered that a chemical the company produced was in the blood of the general public, her bosses questioned her work. Yet all along, some people inside the company had known the same thing. Listen to this excerpt:

#ResistanceRoots Today in history, 1934: Tens of thousands of textile workers go on strike in the Deep South. By the end of the first week, up to 500,000 workers walked out across 15 states. Just 50 years later, working-class voters in that region became the most reliable anti-labor, Repub base. /1

Workers form a picket line during the Textile Strike of 1934, also known as the “Uprising of ‘34.” Organized by the United Textile Workers, the walkout began in the South and grew to encompass as many as half a million workers from 3,000 mills in the South, Mid-Atlantic and New England. Then the largest strike in U.S. history, it lasted 22 days until violent backlash and a personal appeal from FDR prompted the UTW to end it. The workers won no concessions. The low wages and grueling labor continued. Because thousands of workers were permanently blacklisted, no one ever spoke about the strike. We can draw a straight line from this outcome to the cynicism, disillusionment, anti-union culture and low voter turnout that have made the South a Repub stronghold.

Corporate media is obsessed with stopping progressive Democrats while the corrupt rapist president covers up the raping of children and steals everything in existence.

Just a reminder this statement was said by a sitting Congressman to the public, Trump and his DOJ offered not one pushback, denial or lawsuit.. it’s still just sitting out there

Pencils are more expensive. So are notebooks, scissors, glue sticks — just about every back-to-school item that families will load into their literal or virtual carts this summer has gone up in price at a time when American families already feel crushed by rising costs. https://to.pbs.org/4wxLT84

School supplies really do cost more this year. Here's how much, from lunchboxes to pencils

We’re going to hear about how everyone loved Dolly, and that feels true. But it’s good to remember, and to her credit, that she was attacked for her AIDS activism, her vaccine advocacy, her LGBTQ+ support and even, more recently, for her reading initiatives. She ALWAYS stood firm when it mattered.
