Hmmm, I wonder if there’s a lesson here for Democrats. 🤔
“Though the results for workers are a mixed bag, it’s clear that Americans care deeply about the economy and their material conditions and that populist proposals that better people’s working lives can win, even in red states.”
“During his first term as president, Donald Trump tested the limits of how he could use the military to achieve policy goals. If given a second term, the Republican and his allies are preparing to go much further, reimagining the military as an all-powerful tool to deploy on U.S. soil.”
“Neither of the labor movement’s choices this election are inspiring ones. ... Yet under a Harris administration, unions are at least likely to have continued breathing room; if Harris wins and Democrats also manage to gain control of Congress, they will even have a chance to pass labor law reform.”
“The Republican nominee, the man who could return to office and regain the sole authority to use American nuclear weapons, is a serial liar and can’t tell the difference between reality and fantasy.
Donald Trump is not well. He is not stable. There’s something deeply wrong with him.
Any of those would have been important—and accurate—headlines.”
“Attempts to limit the loss through restoration of the Everglades, whose waters feed onto the reef, and the declaration of a Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary in 1990 have done little to turn the tide. Coastal developers and Big Agriculture (in this case, the sugarcane and citrus industries) continue to pollute the Florida Statehouse and governor’s mansion, preventing any serious action to save the reef.”
Build it and people will ride: “The Amtrak Borealis, a new rail line connecting Chicago and Minneapolis-St. Paul, has only been operating for about a month, but already thousands of passengers have taken the trip. That ridership has exceeded Amtrak’s expectations—and hints at the growing desire among Americans to travel by train.”
“The choice facing the nation this November is much older and deeper than Trump. A determined minority has been trying to shape the foundations of American governance for their own benefit since the inception of the republic. ... In 2024, the country is once again immersed in a pivotal battle over whom the political system should serve and represent.”
@feditips I know there are sites like this out there in the Fediverse, but I haven’t spent much time on them looking for good content. Might be time to do that!
@Mrfunkedude Well, #today I’m working remotely due to mobility restrictions related to a recent surgery. Not much to post about, mush less boost! But I appreciate what you’re trying to do here! #KeepMastodonSocial
@Gargron I just had it show up in the US App Store within the last 30 minutes or so. However, the list for it shows the latest version having been released 6 days ago. Some sort of holiday hiccup, maybe? ??♂️
