- My cab driver just asked me if I was tired of the masks (we’re both wearing one) then he said, “I’m tired of the masks especially in the heat, but I’m wearing it because I don’t want to get sick and I don’t want to get anyone else sick. It’s a basic respect issue.”
- This is offensive and dangerous. Stop perpetuating this gross myth. Not every union member has union healthcare plans that protect them. Those that do have it, have to fight like hell to keep it. If you believe in Labor then you’d understand an injury to one is an injury to all.There are 14 million union workers in America who have fought hard for strong, employer-provided health benefits. Medicare for All Who Want It protects their plans and union members' freedom to choose the coverage that's best for them.
- "People's lives are not commodities." This is what we must drive home. In our current system, our families are traded as liabilities on a Wall Street balance sheet. We need universal care, so our health is no longer subject to a corporate profit margin. You go, @AOC! I’m with you“people’s lives are not commodities”
- ENOUGH! This was TODAY on a four hour flight. This is not okay. Masks must be mandated by DOT/HHS in airports and on airplanes. Essential travel only, with proper PPE. #COVID19 #StopTheSpread
- Manchin and Sinema are responsible for killing voting rights, worker rights, women’s rights, LGBTQ rights, childcare, vision and dental for seniors, and an economy built for the people. This is one more FU to the working class on their way out the door. 1/3
- Getting multiple reports @Delta is telling workers across work groups that they should come to work w/ symptoms even if someone in the household tested positive. And test positive workers should come to work after 5 days if the fever is below 100.9, even if still testing positive
- Human capital stock? Fu*k this ghoul.White House adviser Kevin Hassett: "Our human capital stock is ready to go back to work." #HumanCapitalStock
00:00 - We have told Congress that any stimulus funds for the aviation industry must come with strict rules: continued paychecks for every worker and NO stock buy backs, dividends, executive bonuses, broken contracts, or interference with organizing. #coronavirus x.com/3vanSutton/sta…
- There is plenty of money for everyone to have a good life. Working people have to rise up and take it.Watch how radically taxes on the wealthy have fallen over the past 70 years: (Full column: nytimes.com/interactive/20…)
00:00 - Huh. Now there's an ideaBiden: “If every investment banker in New York went on strike, nothing would much change in America. If every plumber decided to stop working, every electrician, the country comes to a halt. I mean, literally, not figuratively, literally, it comes to a damn halt."
00:00 - “This was a 100 percent peaceful march and the police fired rubber bullets and tear gas.” @AliVelshi “There was zero warning. They lined up on the street and started firing.”
