The US is seeing an unprecedented wave of migrant child labor right now.

Thousands of kids are working overnight in dangerous factories for brands like Cheerios, Fruit of the Loom and Ford. They're here alone and they're being failed in the most basic way.https://t.co/5IlCNTjGdh

This country spends about $13.6 billion every year locking people up who haven't even been convicted yet.

BREAKING: Judge rules that six peaceful climate protestors facing a bogus "terrorism" charge in Georgia can leave jail – a major blow to a misguided prosecution.

The terrorism charge is being used to try to intimidate those saving the planet. Drop it.⤵️

BREAKING: College athletes are employees who have the right to organize, NLRB officials determined in a case brought by USC football players.

Agency staff found that the NCAA, PAC-10, and USC are violating players' rights by misclassifying them as "student-athletes."

The Labor Movement is showing up and showing up STRONG to our 1 yr anniversary rallies THIS Friday, December 9th. We will be celebrating one year of being union strong & standing-up to Starbucks' union-busting and bullying. #SBWU1YearStrong https://t.co/yxNKPhnU6E

[Railroad Workers United ✊ @railroadworkers]

Rally for railroad workers Grand Central Station! New York City! Thank you for your support.

[Starbucks Workers United @SBWorkersUnited]

Congress not only voting to impose a contract that rail road workers REJECTED but also failing to provide those workers with a SINGLE sick day is beyond infuriating and disgusting. We stand with the rail road workers and condemn Congress’ betrayal of working class people.

[Railroad Workers United ✊ @railroadworkers]

Railroad workers are fighting for sick time. Urge congress support sick time in rail legislation and empower workers. Sign on individually or as an organization to this open letter to Congress and the President. https://t.co/e8rihbO2zB

Looks like the first big strike of 2023 will take place inside the walls of the Pennsylvania Dept of Corrections. Incarcerated workers organized under the SPARC (Subaltern Peoples Abolitionist Revolutionary Collective) banner will strike on January 6, 2023 https://t.co/PxrsjBpcKj

🧵We've pulled together some of the false claims about crime and incarceration you're most likely to hear at the Thanksgiving dinner table, and the data and facts to help you push back:

NEW: Remember the viral “insulin is free” parody tweet that set the internet ablaze?

We were behind that.

Here’s how our staff writer Sean exposed the greed of Elon Musk and Eli Lilly with just $8, 9 words, and 10 minutes.

"We cannot allow these blatantly political lawsuits to throw millions of student loan borrowers into financial catastrophe."

We just sent a letter to @POTUS with 224 organizations urging him to extend the payment pause and protect cancellation:

BREAKING: The "rogue" sheriff who took $355,000 from pipeline company @Enbridge to harass protestors at Line 3 is accused of major misconduct. Several prosecutions might be dismissed.

This is not isolated. End the corporate buy-out of government.

[The Debt Collective 🟥 @StrikeDebt]

A reminder that the plaintiff who just knocked down student debt relief for 45 million people had her $50,000 PPP loan forgiven.

Her name is Myra Brown: https://t.co/z2PdG33dNf

[Former Striking Knights & Nobles @knightsonstrike]

The ballots have been counted & our voices will be heard⚔️✊🏻✊🏿✊🏽⚔️ Today the Medieval Times California bargaining unit voted 27-18 in favor of unionizing! #mtunited #UnionStrong

[The Debt Collective 🟥 @StrikeDebt]

+1 here @theSBPC.

The very least @POTUS can do while student debt cancelation is caught up in the courts is extend the pause. Payments turning on in January is not an option.

[Aaron Reichlin-Melnick @ReichlinMelnick]

Pittman was the judge who ordered the Biden administration to start expelling unaccompanied migrant children back to their home countries without letting them apply for asylum or be screening for trafficking.

/The Biden admin figured out a way around that, thankfully.
