Labor unions have, in my opinion, been fighting the exact same thing that we are now facing, for AT LEAST the last century.

Money, power (generated by money) and greed (generated by both money and power).

When labor speaks, listen. They have been fighting this systemic evil long enough to know how to win.

Two of the most amazing women of our time! Many thanks to both of you for what you are doing for democracy and workers rights! We need to have a resurgence of labor unions and the roles they play in making our quality of life better. Not just in the workplace but our country at large.

JEN! Did you see Pat Bagley's cartoon in the Salt Lake Tribune? Big RED tie hanging out of a folder marked "Epstein Files." Women have discriminiation EVERYWHERE! On the Court.

In the Courts. By the rich and famous......

Something just hit me in my gut. When Liz Shuler said there are checkpoints with armed personnel stationed around DC it reminded me of the last time I saw something like this: it was driving through the Soviet Union from Leningrad to Moscow to Odessa in 1970. At that time, even Russian citizens had to carry internal passports, and there were checkpoints along the road with soldiers checking, in our case, our passports and visas along with our approved schedule, to make sure we were authorized to enter - and exit the city. So now we're getting to the checkpoint stage. Whoever is running this show, (and obviously it's not Trump, he can't mentally follow a plan for more than 5 minutes), really knows how to throw together a good ol' fashioned authoritarian government.

Enjoyed listening to Liz and Jen per the taped version. So glad we have active unions especially during these times.
