      That was their own money in impound. Trump is just giving it back. Like Obama was doing before Trump screwed it up.

    I swear this man wants to start a civil war so bad he can taste it. He so addicted to chaos that he is willing to force people into homelessness to satisfy his sadistic urges.

    It’s not even federal money. You pay unemployment insurance to your state out of your paycheck. If he does this and you lose your job. They money you paid in won’t be available to you.

    The only thing the govt does help with is bureaucratic costs. So, if they play games with those, most states will just raise taxes on you to fill the gap.

    All of this ignores the fact that Trump not spending Congressional funds according to the way they’ve been allocated is illegal.

    The American people will no longer tolerate the blatant waste, fraud and abuse of their hard-earned tax dollars

    Boss just agreed to give $300,000,000,000 to Iran for his distraction war in addition to the costs of running it. You have no place to talk about acting in the public interest.

    This department is no longer afraid to use every lever available to ensure taxpayer money is protected.

    Funny, cause none of the rich cishet white male Christian oligarchs who would benefit from these cuts actually pay taxes.

    Rules for thee, not for me.

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

Our Philosophies:

  • All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
  • Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
  • Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
  • We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.

Our Goals

  • Higher wages for underpaid workers.
  • Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
  • Better and fewer working hours.
  • Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
  • Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.
