Southern strategy
Wow.
UAW President Shawn Fain isn’t mincing words.
He’s coming right after southern governors like Kay Ivey when they try to gaslight the public. 👏👏👏 pic.twitter.com/HePjMDaimj

Emancipation
BREAKING: The FTC just banned non-compete agreements.
The Federal Trade Commission has issued a final rule making it illegal for bosses to make workers sign noncompetes in any scenario, and voiding nearly all existing noncompetes.
This is a game changer for American workers. pic.twitter.com/9n1tJWpQl4

Happy time
BREAKING: 4 million workers will now take home more money when they work more than 40 hours a week under a new Labor Dept. rule released today. The changes would make it so salaried workers earning less than about $59k annually would automatically be due overtime pay.

It’s not the inflation
This TikToker just caught Walmart inflating the weight of chicken, and overcharging her.
It was posted days after Walmart paid $45 million to settle a lawsuit accusing it of inflating the weight of groceries to rip customers off.

Huh
Seems like just this week that Karl Rove was running around with his hair on fire about Trump…
Just so folks are clear on this
George W. Bush is hosting a fundraiser with Harlan Crow and Karl Rove, to try to unseat Dem Senator Bob Casey.
McCormick, the guy they are fundraising for, doesn’t live in PA, supports 6 week abortion bans and wants to privatize social security. https://t.co/LziiR9ThBC

Finally
Last night was my first night with the brand-new and hopefully non-toxic cpap machine.
My theory (it might just be wishful thinking) is that after a month without formaldahyde, my blood pressure should drop back down to normal. Here’s hoping.
Wow
Pennsylvania Democrats announced support for a $20 minimum wage on Tuesday. https://t.co/bUVUiUlkVZ
