"Sorry, you can either afford to live or fight forever wars,,, can't do both"

Graphic for an In These Times article titled “More Than A Slogan: Labor’s New Gambit to Tax the Rich,” by Rebecca Burns. The background photo shows a crowd of labor activists gathered outdoors in front of oversized cartoon inflatables, holding signs that read “Overpaid CEO Tax NOW!” and “Taxing Greed to Pay for What We Need.” Large white headline text is overlaid across the image on black transparent bars.

"Nationwide, the bottom 20% of earners effectively face state and local tax rates nearly 60% higher than those in the top 1%."

My hometown that’s just over 4K people showed out for NKD 3.

Protests like this, in less than friendly places, mean so much to me. Folks need to be able to see that some of their neighbors stand for a better future.

Bearman has had a lot of bad luck in Japan.

Don’t have heroes. Just don’t.

What our country is allowing to happen to the people of Cuba is simply disgusting.

Haven’t seen the boss use “A1” to fabricate scabbing (or in this case supervision of students) before… guess there’s a first for everything.

I am half way through my work travel bonanza this month—and every trip home has been an ordeal so far.

Cancelled flights, delays, and being diverted to Tulsa for a few hours so far to refuel.

Ooooof

Phil Berger is the architect behind 90% of the trash things NC has done for two decades.

He’s why public schools aren’t fully funded and why the state government prioritizes corporations over people.

Phil Berger sold out North Carolina to get Trump’s endorsement. Now, he’s losing his own primary.

Going to fly to the Ichikawa Zoo to fuck up some monkey.

I understand there are a lot of campaigns that likely do not have the money to hire a graphic designer—but watch a YouTube tutorial on Canva or one of the litany of free tools before having ChatGPT make that shit.

Not willing to admit how much time and brain space Punch, the tiny internet monkey, has taken up in my life lately.

No bailouts for AI tech billionaires.

Know it’s not cool to mention other social platforms here—but the bots and the algorithm fueling the most hateful voices is still wild to me.

Normalize never referring to the Kennedy Center as anything else.

Normalize calling them the Trump-Epstein files.

Choosing to believe Bad Bunny was rocking the 64 as a shout out to Jerry Kramer.

Wild that anyone still calls the people mentioned in the Epstein files ‘the elite’ when all their money, power, and access couldn’t stop them from being disgusting, predatory, deeply unlikable fucks with zero redeeming qualities.

Especially Elon, the sad fuck, out there begging for an invite.

Why Labor Unions Can’t Ignore ICE From agriculture to meatpacking to service work, immigration enforcement functions as labor discipline. Minnesota’s mass strike against ICE points toward a reckoning with the agency that the labor mov...

“They always try to segment the working class — by skill, by race, by nationality, by legal status — so that harm inflicted on the most vulnerable can be treated as isolated or deserved, all while undermining the standards of all workers.”

“The labor movement has had language for this for a long time: an injury to one is an injury to all. The Industrial Workers of the World slogan was never just a moral appeal. It was also a diagnosis of how employers and the state undermine working-class power.”

Milquetoast caution might keep members out of trouble, but it also keeps unions out of relevance. People join the labor movement to fight and win for themselves, their families, and their communities.

No one wants to be part of a charity for the timid.

lol yeah, if you have a better link than I do send my way.

I would like to watch the Carolina hockey game at home, because tickets were wildly pricey.

LOL can’t stream it on ESPN because I live here. Can’t watch it on TV because they’re showing women’s flag football and the Rangers v. Penguins.

What stage of capitalism is this?

It's near-white out conditions in Chicago as the snow comes down, and tonight's anti-ICE/CBP rally is wrapping up in front of city hall.

But not before the crowd bounces and chants, "I believe that we will win!"

Hope IndyCar broadcast team covers the DC rats with the same love and appreciation that F1 uses with the Canadian marmots.

Can we pause for a moment and collectively eye roll for how fucking dumb FoxNews digital and the NYPost are for making a signal chat with your neighbors out to be something nefarious.

He should never have a moment of peace.

Don't get distracted, friends. This doesn't change the fact that ICE has been used as a lawless, violent force, and it's continued existence is immoral. Tell your senators to vote accordingly. Defund. Dismantle. Prosecute.

I’m sure there’s folks on here that will get upset for posting about other platforms—but find it super interesting my FYP is just sharing the same content to me over and over.

I think TikTok is definitely breaking.

A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.
