Republican Rep. Tom Kean Jr. took four months off from Congress, fully paid, to treat depression. Time and again, he’s voted against paid sick leave legislation.

It is with deep sorrow and profound love that we announce the passing of Sonny Rollins. The Saxophone Colossus died this afternoon at his home in Woodstock, NY at the age of 95. 1/2 https://t.co/6AGmFrB7x4

Bong Joon-ho says he tried to make Parasite (2019) deeply specific to Korean culture, but audiences around the world all reacted the same way:

“Essentially, we all live in the same country, called Capitalism.”

NLRB judge issued a decision yesterday in which he concluded that a Starbucks manager who was testifying for the company was not credible because he spoke in "corporate speak" including calling a dirty store a "cleanliness opportunity." 😂

I always like to look at Woody Guthrie's New Year's Resolutions from 1942.

Pretty similar to what mine are each year.

@GeorgeSuggs1 There’s a great story in the Walter Reuther biography about his father fighting against Carnegie building a library in their home town of Wheeling WV because he did not trust Carnegie’s philanthropy

I just put on Big Star’s #1 Record and the thirteen-year-old starts to bop her head and looks up from the table and asks “What’s this?”Mission accomplished.

@MeganEllyia I voted at carpenter library today and it was packed. The machine showed a count of about 1,600 ballots. Is that number just in one day or all days accumulated?

Why can’t Democrats see that folks in rural areas and cities still struggle to find steady jobs with fair wages and safe working conditions, notwithstanding the Dow Jones. It’s a major reason why those folks have given up on the Democratic Party and embraced Trump.

[Simon Rosenberg @SimonWDC]

This is a very important bit of data. The Democratic coalition believes we are better off today. And we are actually better off today.

Happy Nightfly Day to those who celebrate

This clip featuring James Earl Jones and Chris Cooper in Matewan serves as a powerful reminder that solidarity is the most effective weapon against the bosses.

Currently writing a brief to defend our participatory democracy while listening to Red Garland’s piano solo on “All of You.” Dig it.

Today in 1937 - Battle of the Overpass

[Erik Loomis @ErikLoomis]

This Day in Labor History: May 26, 1937. Henry Ford's thugs beat the living hell out of leading United Auto Workers organizers and officials, including Walter Reuther, as they attempted to enter the River Rouge factory. Let's talk about the Battle of the Overpass!
