I appreciate how Hollywood execs just decided to show they're the villains.

Going to billionaire camp to tell workers they're unrealistic? Sure!

Killing trees to cook the picket line? Okay!

Trying to make actors and writers homeless? Thanks for telling us who the bad guys are!

Certainly a message to all workers! #unionize #SAGAFTRAstrong

SAG-AFTRA President Fran Drescher sends a message to Hollywood execs: ‘We demand respect and to be honored for our contribution. You share the wealth because you cannot exist without us.’

@united yesterday we were stuck on our plane on a tarmac departing for hours before we could fly out with no water service. We ran out of water. My toddler really struggled. Do better.

So serious question tweepers - why is masking in the poker and gaming community so normalised?
Please don’t say ”high stakes” when we know doctors don’t wear them.
They must have different personalities, better at assessing risk? Anyone know?

On taxes, America has gone from Leona Helmsley to Logan Roy - and yet the budget discourse focuses not on a $2 trillion scam, but on cutting food stamps. https://t.co/JIWFirTsEQ

“Few Americans are treating it as a leading killer, however — in part because they are not hearing about those numbers, don’t trust them or don’t see them as relevant to their own lives.” https://t.co/aHKsn80Vj2

Here's a map of violent crime in Chicago over the last five years (left) and a map of mayoral election results by precint (right).

The areas hit hardest by violence voted for Brandon Johnson, who campaigned hard on alternatives to policing, instead of tough-on-crime Paul Vallas.

BREAKING: Kansas Republicans have successfully overridden the Governor veto to now authorize genital inspections of children in order for kids to play sports. A very dark & disturbing day.

@mack_liederman @colinbphoto The part about not having a sprinkler system…that seems bad. We should probably change that for high rises, no?

@AP @Brandon4Chicago @wttw @PaulVallas .@CTULocal1 President @stacydavisgates: “Today, Chicago has spoken. Chicago has said yes to hope; yes to investment in people; yes to housing the unhoused, and yes to supporting young people with fully-funded schools. It is a new day in our city.”

[The Daily Line @thedailylinechi]

.@PaulVallas concedes Chicago mayoral race to @Brandon4Chicago.

[Gregory Royal Pratt @royalpratt]

Brandon Johnson defeated Paul Vallas to become the next mayor of Chicago, a stunning rebuke of the political establishment by the unapologetically progressive Cook County commissioner whose campaign themes of racial justice and uplifting the working class caught fire.

@TheTRiiBE Let’s gooooooooooo!

@adrienne_pagac congrats to Wisconsin and (I think) also my city of Chicago tonight. Thank the fucking gods.

@MsKellyMHayes More optimism than I’ve felt in years
