If corporations have all the power, then the average citizen basically does not.
Power in the hands of the average citizen is the point of a free democratic society.
Corporations having too much power, then, is a threat to our democracy.
People are waking up. Enough is enough.

Shouldn’t government be on the side of the people?
Quaint idea, I know.

Thank you, Bernie.
I’m LIVE on the floor of the U.S. Senate to stand with rail workers as they fight for paid sick leave and improved working conditions from rail companies that made $20 billion in profits last year. nitter.vloup.ch/i/broadcasts/1DX…

Corporate barbarianism.
Union president to @LaurenKGurley: “The average American would not know that we get fired for going to the doctor. This one thing has our members most enraged. We have guys who were punished for taking time off for a heart attack and covid. It’s inhumane.”

.@POTUS should be standing firmly and unequivocally on the side of the railroad workers.
“I’m a union guy,” he kept saying.
Show it, Mr. President.
UPDATE: Amtrak has canceled some long-distance passenger routes ahead of the potential freight rail stoppage Friday.
Freight companies are halting grain & hazardous waste shipments too.
Rail companies are decimating the country’s supply chain just to deny workers sick pay.

I was lucky to read an early copy of @DrGaborMate's groundbreaking new book #themythofnormal. This book shows the flaws in our society and what we can do to make it right. It’s a book we need right now, and you can get your copy today: drgabormate.com/book/the-myt…

There should be a Presidential Commission and/or Congressional hearings on the state of policing in the US.
Police training, indiscriminate & negligent use of lethal force, and infiltration by white supremacist groups.
Government turning a blind eye to this is unacceptable.

Why are there not Congressional hearings on police killing innocent people?
This is not policing; this is murder.

GOP efforts to limit abortion rights have less to do with concern for the life of the unborn and more to do with a desire to control women.
Hannity: I have it on good authority that Republicans in the Senate will bring up a national abortion law sometime this week which will have mandated time of 15 weeks

Chief Justice John Roberts doesn't understand how people could be doubting the legitimacy of the Supreme Court.
I do.
