- A fair economy for workers means a $15/hr living wage, healthcare for all, cancel student debt & free education thru college. #LaborDay2016
- We will create a new Works Progress Administration making government the employer of last resort in a full employment economy. #LaborDay2016
- The #GreenNewDeal will create 20M jobs by investing in clean energy, public transit, sustainable agriculture & conservation. #LaborDay2016
- Greens will advance workers' rights to unionize, achieve workplace democracy, & keep a fair share of the wealth they create. #LaborDay2016
- #SteinBaraka will create living-wage jobs for everyone who needs work, replacing unemployment offices with employment offices. #LaborDay2016
- Bipartisan Taft-Hartley act was key to breaking union power. I will repeal Taft-Hartley & restore workers' rights to organize. #LaborDay2016
- In '50s 1 in 3 workers in private sector was union. Now 1 in 20. Wages stagnant for 35 years, down for non-union workers. #LaborDay2016
- If current trends continued it would take Black families 228 years to amass same amount of wealth white families have today. #LaborDay2016
- #AtLeastWeCanAgreeOn one thing: the 2-party system has failed. 76% of Americans want me and @GovGaryJohnson in the debates. #OpenDebates
- Richest 10% in US have 76% of total wealth; next 40% have 23% of wealth; bottom 50% have 1% of wealth. #LaborDay2016
- Bottom 25% of US have zero wealth and average $13K in debt. 12% of families have average $32K in debt. Rampant poverty in US. #LaborDay2016
- On #LaborDay2016 let's reflect on how to transform economic & political systems to serve the people, not just elite. http://ow.ly/xJ66303V6dt
- Top trends #HackingHillary & #TrumpCantSwim show level of discourse to expect in debates if @GovGaryJohnson & I are locked out. #OpenDebates
- The economy is controlled by 2 corporate parties that have led us into an economic and political crisis. #LaborDay2016
- In 2000 @realDonaldTrump told his friend @GovJVentura it was "disgraceful" that debates exclude independents. Was Trump a con man all along?
- Working people are struggling to stay afloat while the rigged economy helps the rich get richer. #LaborDay2016
- .@realDonaldTrump is acting like a man with no honor. He'll go back on his word in a second if it benefits him. Sad.
- #LaborDay2016 is the perfect time to reflect on economic reality, & how to create a world that works for all of us. http://ow.ly/PZfi303V5YR
- Hey @realDonaldTrump remember saying it's "disgraceful" to exclude independents from debates? You with elites now?
- The economy is rigged to work for the 1%. Let's change that. #VoteGreen #LaborDay
- Watching @debates w/o all four candidates is deceptive, @realDonaldTrump. Shed light on this rigged process! #OpenDebates #LetJillDebate
- It's going to take a huge force to help independent candidates onto the debate stage. Be that force for change, @realDonaldTrump.
- The @debates are so rigged, you can only get on stage if you agree with the establishment. That's not fair to Americans, @realDonaldTrump.
- Two minutes on #CNN with Presidential Candidate @DrJillStein on the Green Party platform and our #GreenNewDeal.
- Remember when you stood up for @GovJVentura to get onto the debate stage in 2000? Keep being that guy, @realDonaldTrump. #OpenDebates
- Happy #LaborDay! Here is what I and @ajamubaraka propose for a cleaner, more just world for workers. #GreenNewDeal http://www.jill2016.com/labor_day_statement …
- Remember when Reagan valiantly invited John Anderson onto the debate stage in 1980? Be that guy, @realDonaldTrump. #OpenDebates
- It doesn't seem fair the @debates commission is rigging the system, @realDonaldTrump. Americans are not fools. #OpenDebates #LetJillDebate
- 275 days since #HillarysPressConference. So much is going on in the world that requires the courage to stand up. Hillary is sitting it out.
The Third Estate Sunday Review focuses on politics and culture. We're an online magazine. We don't play nice and we don't kiss butt. In the words of Tuesday Weld: "I do not ever want to be a huge star. Do you think I want a success? I refused "Bonnie and Clyde" because I was nursing at the time but also because deep down I knew that it was going to be a huge success. The same was true of "Bob and Carol and Fred and Sue" or whatever it was called. It reeked of success."
