Elon Musk is about to become the first trillionaire. He's about to make more money than every elementary school teacher in America combined. 

Do we really believe one man is worth more than every elementary school teacher? 

Why do we have a trillionaire when there are kids without enough to eat?

Why do we have a trillionaire when cancer patients are going bankrupt?

Why do we have a trillionaire when veterans are sleeping out on the street?

I'm all for success, but this is not success. This is hoarding. 

What leads a person to accumulate more money than they could possibly spend in a hundred lifetimes, when there are people starving in this one? 

The reason poverty exists in the wealthiest country on Earth is not because we can't feed the poor. It's because we can't satisfy the rich. 

But what we can do is tax trillionaires out of existence. And use that money to guarantee food, healthcare, and housing for every single American.

- James Talarico, candidate for U.S. Senate (Sept 2026)

Labor Day 2026 arrives at a moment when Americans are increasingly vocal about the need to challenge billionaire rule, and are once again recognizing that organized labor – the people who brought us the weekend – is a crucial counter-force to the oligarchs. And after years of shrinking union power, they are starting to gain back ground, with membership increases of more than 400,000 in 2025 even as Donald Trump sought to break federal workers unions and gutted labor law enforcement. We also passed more than 80 laws in 19 U.S. states last year expanding workers rights, including paid sick leave in the new Democratic trifecta in Virginia and a ban on nearly all non-compete agreements in Washington.

There’s still so much more to do, and we all have to step up and do our part.

The Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee, a volunteer-run network of workers, organizers and supporters, aims to provide the resources, networks and training to support folks in organizing their workplaces nationwide. They’re looking for experienced organizers; folks interested in doing communications, data, research, development and legal work; and call line staffers to help continue to grow their efforts. ⚙️ We can sign up to join them here. ⚙️

VOLUNTEER TO SUPPORT LABOR ORGANIZING

And if we’re looking to step up and form a union at our own workplace, the next session of their fundamentals of workplace organizing training starts Saturday! We’ll hear from experienced organizers, practice connecting with our co-workers and prepare for what the bosses have in store. ⚙️ We can register to be part of it here. ⚙️

How many stories about Lake Ontario have you noticed the past few weeks.

How about how many on the reflecting pool.

But then compare that to bombing the wedding in Iran.

And far worse, how about bombing the young girls school in Iran killing hundreds of young girls.

This is distraction propaganda. They know it will get shared around and people wont have time or energy to hold people accountable for the stories that could actually result in charges or at least getting people out of power that caused them.

Propaganda works, its highly successful, and at the point you think you're outside of it you're probably the most into it.

Ya not much your average redditor can do, but how about bring these conversations back to these kind of far more serious stories.
