Here’s a vintage Hitler pin cushion. One day there will be updates to this design.

Today, tell your kids about Ruby Bridges—the first Black child at all-white public elementary school in South.

Today Ms. Bridges turns 69.

69.

She's younger than both my parents. And more importantly, she's a reminder of the courage of our youth, of the ever present reality of systemic racism, and of the need to lead with anti-racism to counter this hate.

Let us look to leaders like Ms. Bridges, and build that more perfect union for all people in this country—grounded in true Justice for all

So many people around me are getting covid.

Mask up when you go out and wash your hands frequently. Limit your time in crowded spaces.

Covid sucks and can kill. Do your part to prevent the spread.

The Reaganomics trickle down scam has redistributed $50T from bottom 90% to top 1%.

If the minimum wage increased with inflation & corporate productivity it’d be $26/hr today.

Corporations annually steal $15B from workers and face zero meaningful accountability.

Think about these facts next time you hear an exploitative CEO of a blue collar retail store complain “People just don’t want to work anymore.”
#LaborDay

Labor Day reminder: If the min wage increased at the rate of inflation & productivity since 1960 it'd be $26 today—not $7.25. Meaning—billionaires & corps have stolen at least $19/hour from working Americans for 60 years.

That’s generational theft from the working class to keep people in poverty.

We don't suffer a lack of resources—but an excess of greed.

This is what true leadership looks like—when you always speak up for universal human rights because you recognize the inherent humanity in every person. This is yet another example of why @georgetakei is a true leader. ❤️✊🏽
