In 2019, the bipartisan bill to reauthorize the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund was blocked by none other than Rand Paul.

We. Will. Never. Forget.

Reminder this Labor Day that unions didn’t win weekends and the minimum wage and an end to child labor and sick leave and more by being nice, or polite, or respectful. They won by fighting. They won by striking and struggling and being radicals.

@AnneElizbethRay @CrisDelnevo I consider this a positive efficiency since I hate going to the gas station

When Mitch McConnell graduated nearly 60 years ago, tuition was around $300 a year.

As graduates from that same school, my wife and I have over 100k in student debt now.

Mitch doesn’t understand what Kentucky families face, but we do.

Consider this: the FBI didn’t broadcast they searched Trump’s home. They didn’t even send agents in FBI jackets. The only reason we know it happened is because TRUMP told us. The FBI didn’t try to embarrass Trump. The guy who publicized it should be the one who shows the warrant.

I'm glad Alito is saying it all publicly. People can hear it for themselves. The Supreme Court has right wing hacks who will abuse their power to implement their theocracy. It's all out in the open. No need for subtlety.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

While you were feeling pain at the pump, Shell, Exxon, and Chevron raked in $46 BILLION in profits over the last three months and said they would spend up to $47 billion on stock buybacks after spending $18.8 billion so far this year. Yes, it’s time for a windfall profits tax.

I am running for United States Senate against the propagandist in the top left corner.

And we will defeat him.

Like what the actual f*ck - voting against birth control

[Bill Pascrell, Jr. 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @BillPascrell]

We just voted to keep birth control legal in America and 96% of republicans voted no. 96%!

Roses are red

Joe Manchin single-handedly plunged 3,700,000 innocent children into poverty

And killed the environment, too.

I cancelled my #Prime membership a little over a year ago. Please consider not supporting this gigantic monopoly that mistreats and underpays it’s employees and is destroying the planet. Shop local and consume less 😄

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

On #PrimeDay, let's not forget. Amazon blamed "inflation" on a 17% price hike in a Prime membership after its profits soared 450% since the pandemic to a record $38 billion while avoiding $5 billion in taxes, spending $4 million on union busting & denying workers paid sick leave.

Go Kentucky!

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

BREAKING: Workers at an Amazon warehouse in Kentucky are officially unionizing with Amazon Labor Union.

Workers in Campbellsville, KY will become the first local chapter of @amazonlabor outside Staten Island.

The lead organizer says Amazon is already spying on union activity.

Let’s start drawing straight lines.

I JUST WANT TO KNOW HOW THE POLICE MANAGE TO TAKE MASS SHOOTERS ALIVE BUT CANT LET BLACK FOLKS SURVIVE A TRAFFIC STOP WITHOUT 90 BULLETS FIRED.

Like how? How does this work???

@thekaitlynhill I found your book yesterday at Greyline station. I can’t wait to read it!
