For the sake of America, Ukraine, Russia, and the world — we need immediate diplomacy, not reckless commitments to prolong the war in Ukraine forever.
That's why, in the Maine Senate today, I called out the propaganda of the corporate media and the Washington war machine.

Please support these excellent cultural workers bargaining their first contract against Philly's wealthy elite. I just donated to AFSCME DC47 Local 397 https://t.co/oIjh6NFINJ
How do we have all the supplies we needed to pull off picket lines with hundreds of people across three buildings? Our strike fund!!
Thank you to everyone who has donated so far, please help us keep building!! https://t.co/1TOjCCVWkl
Wynne, a registrar @philamuseum, is #ReadytoStrike:
“I'm ready to strike because during contract negotiations I've witnessed a complete disregard for PMA staff, for our expertise, for our contributions and for our value as people who make PMA the wonderful museum that it is.”
Happy Birthday to our @pma_union!! On 8/6/20, we won our union in a landslide victory. The museum union wave is part of this historic moment in the labor movement and we are so proud to be here. Our birthday wish? A fair contract @philamuseum and labor justice for all!!!!!
Our take:
- no one should have to work two jobs
- asking for a raise is good, actually
- organizing and forcing the boss to give you one is even better!
Some stunning propaganda from The NY Times Daily podcast this morning.
Shorter version: asking for a raise is bad because it makes inflation worse. Taking a second job is good because it makes inflation better.
All individual choice, almost nothing on corporate profiteering
The question remains: why hasn’t @philamuseum published an audited financial statement for 2021 on its website? Check it out: there are statements for every other year going back to 2011. But no 2021. Wonder why? 🤔
