As every American knows, in 1968, Dr. King marched with sanitation workers in Memphis,

with AFSCME local 1733.

The march was not just about racial justice.

The march was about economic justice.

The march was about the freedom of sanitation workers to earn what Dr. King called a decent

living.

It was about the dignity of work.

It was about the right to join a union.

They fought against so-called right-to-work legislation.

They fought for collective bargaining so that people who worked hard, who rode on trucks

and picked up the trash and did hard labor, earned a decent wage.

And Dr. King talked about the importance of economic justice, much as he talked about

the importance of racial justice.

- Janus is nothing more than a political attack underwritten by corporations, and it will

not make our economy stronger.

It further rigs the economy against workers, and it is, frankly, a disgrace and a slap

in the face to the union legacy that has helped our country grow.

We need to be working to make it easier and not harder for workers to join unions, to

collectively bargain for fair wages, safe working conditions, and healthcare.

- This is a concerted attack on America's unions, leaving corporate dark money to reign

unchecked in our political process.

And ultimately, it is an attack on the middle class.

- You want to know what is in the First Amendment?

The right to freedom of assembly.

The right to freedom of assembly is in the Constitution.

And if some workers want to assemble together and negotiate for better wages and better

benefits with their employer, I believe they have a constitutional right to do so.

- Union members are us.

They are our teachers, ironworkers, nurses, government workers, bricklayers, firefighters,

machinists.

They are the backbone of our communities, and our communities only thrive when we help

workers to thrive.

- Unions are more important now than ever, because the question is: When 81 percent of

this country hasn't had a raise for the past 15 years, do we need to have more policies

favoring corporations and executives or do we need to figure out how we give Americans

a raise?

The Field Museum i Chicago har fått en ny attraksjon, nemlig dinosauren Máximo. Utgaven på museet er en planteetende kjempe, som veide rundt 70 tonn

Det er like mye som 10 afrikanske elefanter. Máximo tilhører titanosaurus-familien (Patagotitan mayorum)

Dette er den største dinosaur-typen som forskerne har funnet, ifølge museet selv

Disse dinosaurene vandret rundt i det som nå er Patagonia i Argentina, for over 100 millioner år siden

Forskerne har brukt knoklene fra 7 ulike dinosaurer som utgangspunkt for å lage Máximo

Nå er de sikre – mener dette er verdens største dinosaur
