I've seen kitten-tormented yarn-balls that were more straightforward than this. Translation: Most Americans agree that when the boss gets a raise, the workers should get the same raise.

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

Let’s be clear: Donald Trump is responsible for ending Roe v. Wade.

And if you vote for him, he’ll go even further.

Today is my first day @BrownUniversity . My best friend should be starting college also, but he was killed when we were shot at our high school. I promise to use my life, my experience , and my education to honor the life of forever 14 yr old Dominic Blackwell. #BeTheChange #GVP

White supremacist speaker @CSexton25 violently shoved me today while I held my “Protect Kids, Not Guns!” sign. I’m infuriated by his actions but more infuriated by the INACTION of @tnhousegop to pass a SINGLE bill to prevent gun violence. This is how democracy dies. We must rise!

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

Our economy works best when employers and employees come to the bargaining table as equals to make a business run better and improve employees’ lives.

Collective bargaining works.

Beautiful.

"It is imperative that the literary field chart a course that advances diversity and equity without making these values a cudgel against specific books or writers deemed to fall short in these areas." https://t.co/oiFpWXk6yj

THE Ohio State University. 👊✊

[Steven Greenhouse @greenhousenyt]

In a win for labor, respiratory therapists at Ohio State University's Wexner Medical Center vote overwhelmingly to unionize—101 to 19—joining the Ohio Nurses Assn & American Federation of Teachers

"The decision to unionize will give us a collective voice loud enough to be heard"

[Chris Breitenbach @Bombacharger]

"..Ohio Republicans sought to curb the use of referendums — Issue 1 would also have made it harder to put constitutional measures on the ballot — marks a sharp strategic reversal by conservatives rooted in fear that they are losing support on social issues, especially abortion."

[Chris Breitenbach @Bombacharger]

Nicely done, Ohio! 👊

[Dave Wasserman @Redistrict]

I've seen enough: in a major victory for the pro-choice side, Ohio Issue 1 (a measure to raise the threshold to pass a state constitutional amendment to 60%) fails.

[Patton Oswalt @pattonoswalt]

Can we all come together, for just a moment — Democrat, Republican, MAGA, dirt bag left, independent and edgelord — and just acknowledge that we’re all about to go through one of the most batshit crazy elections in this country’s history?

Kurt Vonnegut tells his wife he’s going to buy a single envelope and his explanation sums up the current state of the world.

Óir thug sé ordú da aingil i do thaobh
Tú a chosaint i do shlite go léir
Iompróidh siad thú lena lámha
sula mbuailfí do chos in aghaidh chloiche
Satlóidh tú ar an leon is ar an nathair
Gheobhaidh tú de chosa sa leon óg is a dragan
Do Sinead, suaimhneas sioraí. Enya, Nicky & Roma
