A note to Democrats who blame progressives after losing an election:

Forcing millions to start paying student loans again and cutting off the Child Tax Credit at the start of an election year is not a winning strategy.

We’re warning you now, don’t point fingers in November.

2021 was the year of the worker.

Truck driver compensation has *dropped* 40% since the 1970s.

The issue isn’t that truckers are lazy. It’s the lack of decent paying, humane jobs ad corporations looking to exploit workers at every turn. https://t.co/P7qxfyhQSd

NEW: On Friday, Pres. Biden backed striking Kellogg’s workers, condemning a plan to hire permanent scabs.

Workers were thrilled with the support.

Today Amazon workers in Chicago walked off the job demanding better pay, Amazon workers in Staten Island also walked off, and they refilled their union petition with the NLRB. Amazon is horrible, but workers are rising up and organizing to fight back.
