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.

ALT Asked whether “worker pay should increase whenever CEO pay is increased to prevent inequality” or “worker pay should not increase whenever CEO pay is increased because the work that they are doing is different,” 62% chose the former, while only 17% chose the latter.

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!

Our photographer Devin Crawford had a bird's eye view of the "shove" that happened on the House floor as House Speaker @CSexton25 was trying to leave the chamber.
The aforementioned incident was between Sexton and Rep. @Justinjpearson.

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.

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.

"..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."

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?

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
